EDIT & REUSE
Hypit edits and asset reuse: change a hook, caption or product
Separate what stays from what changes, explicitly select approved outputs and review a focused second version with an original editing brief.

Give the revision one clear target
Record the issue, its location and the desired outcome. “Replace the opening three seconds with a direct question” is easier to verify than “make it better”. This guide combines official documentation with original planning examples, not a production benchmark.
Three edits, three preservation lists
These are editorial decision examples. Actual dependencies determine the processing required.
| Change | Prefer to preserve | Recheck |
|---|---|---|
| Opening hook | Demonstration, ending and approved assets | New speech material and transition |
| Caption position | Audio, video and dialogue | Editable property, shared style and other captions |
| Featured product | Permitted structure and generic scenes | Appearance, name, claims, action and ending |
Locate the approved result
Current documentation requires explicit historical output selection. Record the Build ID, output name and availability. Inspect production records when an old name is unknown.

Select approved outputs through build-record and satisfy in the Run, then inspect the plan. Replace the placeholders in this original handoff.
Target revision: [issue and segment]
Current Run: [path]
Approved outputs: [Build ID + output name]
Allowed changes: [dialogue / position / assets]
Preserve: [approved sections]
Explain historical selections and remaining processing before presenting the new Run plan.Reuse does not skip every downstream step
Reusing raw video differs from reusing an already aligned result. Captions, graphics and final rendering may still run. Inspect the selected outputs and remaining work rather than assuming an automatic cache handles the revision.
Original example: a question-led bottle hook
Keep the lid demonstration and final product card. Change the opening to “Bag in one hand—how do you take a drink?” Read the line aloud before timing the transition. Longer speech needs a new timing check.
Change only the opening question. Explicitly select my approved lid footage and product card in the Run. List material needed for the new opening and any timing effects on the remaining sequence.Review twice
First inspect the changed section, then review everything that should remain unchanged. Keep both versions and the revision note.
- Is the requested problem resolved without a new one?
- Are the demonstration and ending still correct?
- Do captions, speech and transitions agree?
- Does the export play completely and does the source project remain usable?
