# Video-Use Editing Workflow Preflight

**State:** PARTIAL  
**Run mode:** Local workflow validation, no footage edited.

## Completed local deliverable

The editing workflow was evaluated against the actual inputs available in this campaign. Its documented first step requires user footage, `ffprobe` inventory, transcript generation/caching, a strategy confirmation, then an EDL and render. None of those media inputs are present.

## Session contract prepared

| Item | Required before edit | Current state |
|---|---|---|
| Source video files | Exact original files and preservation location | Not supplied |
| Target format / duration | Client decision | Not supplied |
| Brand direction | Approved palette, font, overlay guidance | Not supplied |
| Transcript provider authorization | Required for hosted transcription when applicable | Not supplied or used |
| Cut strategy approval | Required before touching the edit | Not supplied |
| Any animation brief | Requires content, visual direction, and output spec | Not supplied |

## Recommended next bounded input packet

1. One or more original clips, untouched.
2. Desired deliverable such as 16:9 website explainer or 9:16 social clip.
3. Confirmed spoken/service claims and CTA.
4. Permission to transcribe/edit and the target channel or site destination.
5. Brand logo, palette, and authorized end-card details.

## Manim scope note

`manim-video` is not a physical skill entry in the canonical 278-skill manifest; it is vendored under `video-use` for optional animation slots. No animation slot was requested or built, so it is not represented as a separately tested manifest skill.

## Exact blocker to PASS

The full documented task cannot start without approved source footage and an approved editing strategy. No session video files, external transcription, media rendering, or publication were used in this run.
