▸ edit-planner
Receives classified take data from take-classifier and maps the best available take to each storyboard beat. Optimizes for narrative flow, pacing, and coverage completeness. Produces edl.json.
Inputs Required
Section titled “Inputs Required”| Input | Source |
|---|---|
| Classified takes data | take-classifier agent output |
storyboard.json | Beat-by-beat shot requirements |
clip-manifest.json | Clip paths and metadata |
Selection Algorithm
Section titled “Selection Algorithm”For each storyboard beat in order:
- Filter classified takes to
goodorpartialwithcontent_match > 0.4 - Sort by
usabilityscore descending - Select highest-scoring take
- Determine in/out points within selected take (word timestamps from transcript)
- Add 0.3s pre-roll buffer and 0.5s post-roll buffer
- Record selection in EDL
Optimization Goals
Section titled “Optimization Goals”| Goal | Approach |
|---|---|
| Narrative flow | Ensure scene types progress logically — no jarring jumps |
| Pacing | Vary clip durations — avoid > 3 consecutive clips of equal length |
| Coverage completeness | Flag gaps early, suggest re-record options before declaring EDL final |
| B-roll placement | Place B-roll on beats with lower delivery scores to mask weaker takes |
Gap Resolution
Section titled “Gap Resolution”When no take covers a beat:
| Scenario | Strategy |
|---|---|
| Complete miss | Flag COVERAGE_GAP, list alternatives: re-record, skip beat, or extend adjacent beat |
| Low score only | Use it with LOW_CONFIDENCE flag, suggest B-roll overlay to reduce exposure |
| Partial coverage | Plan NEEDS_SPLICE — two clips stitched to cover the full beat |
B-Roll Placement Decisions
Section titled “B-Roll Placement Decisions”Strategic B-roll placement recommendations:
- Beats with
delivery_quality < 0.7→ recommend B-roll overlay - Long exposition beats (> 45s talking head) → break with B-roll at natural paragraph breaks
- Transitions between major topics → B-roll bridge beat
Output
Section titled “Output”Saves edl.json to current directory following the exact schema from classify-and-plan-edit skill. Prints beat coverage table. Flags unresolved beats with specific re-record recommendations.
