“Make it cinematic” isn’t a weak prompt because you were lazy — it’s weak because the vocabulary is the expertise. Tag a specialist and they brief the editor for you: the order of operations, the actual numbers, and the mistakes their field knows to avoid.
@colourist make it cinematicType @ anywhere you talk to the agent — the editor, the prompt bar above your projects, the phone app, Telegram. Up to 2 at once, and it costs no extra credits.
@film-editorCuts your footage like a film editor — where to cut, how long to hold, and why the cut you made feels wrong.
@colouristGrades like a professional — balance first, then look, and skin that still looks like skin.
@sound-designerBuilds the soundtrack layer by layer and delivers at the loudness the platform actually wants.
@motion-designerDesigns titles, lower thirds and graphics with real motion timing — nothing pops in and just sits there.
@shortform-strategistCuts for TikTok, Reels and Shorts — hook, safe zones, burned captions, and an ending that loops.
@retention-editorEdits long-form YouTube for watch time — hook, pattern interrupts, and killing the parts where people leave.
@doc-storytellerTurns raw interview and b-roll into a documentary — finds the story in the transcript before touching a frame.
@ad-directorCreative-directs a performance ad — attention in 3 seconds, brand in 5, one action at the end.
@interview-editorCleans up podcasts, interviews and talking heads — filler, breaths, dead air, and cuts you cannot see.
@accessibility-leadMakes your video legible and usable — captions to broadcast standard, contrast that passes, no seizure risk.
@brand-guardianKeeps every frame on-brand — one palette, one type scale, one motion signature, applied consistently.
@music-video-editorCuts to the music — on the beat, on the bar, and on the phrase, with the maths done.
@trailer-editorCuts a trailer — three acts, a rising build, a title card, and a button people quote.
@explainer-producerBuilds explainers people actually learn from — one idea at a time, narration and graphics that do not fight.
They are briefs, not people, and not separate AIs bolted onto your project. Each is a body of craft knowledge held to one rule: every brief has to end in something checkable. A loudness target. A pixel bound. A characters-per-second limit. Not “make it feel premium”.
A specialist never touches your timeline. It briefs the same editing agent you already use, which does the work with the same commands and the same undo history.
Tagging one makes the agent think harder on the first step, so expect a little longer before it starts — that is the point of asking for an expert. In Fast mode it has much less effect, because a fast model skips the detail the brief is made of.
