A worked example

A small example to try before using your own data.

Input

{
  "timeline": "00:00–00:40 speaker explains how a checkpoint file restores state; one static talking-head shot.",
  "goal": "Show the recovery process visually."
}

Expected result

00:12–00:24: overlay a simple checkpoint → interruption → recovered-state diagram while the explanation covers those stages. Asset needed: a newly created or authorized diagram. Confirm timing against the actual narration before editing.

What to check: The suggested visual explains the topic and is labeled as an asset to obtain, not an existing clip.

Limits: A transcript does not reveal every on-screen change. Final timing and visual quality require watching the video.

Worked example included. Model-specific performance and vendor compatibility have not been benchmarked.

🧠 Why it works

The suggested visual explains the topic and is labeled as an asset to obtain, not an existing clip.

⚙️ How it works

Identify the actual subject and visual state of each interval from the supplied timeline or video.

Flag long static stretches only against the user’s pacing goal, not a universal cutoff.

Suggest an illustrative asset that supports the spoken point and specify where it enters and exits.

Keep factual visuals, decorative footage and unavailable assets distinct; record rights and sourcing needs.

Review transitions for continuity and do not describe proposed footage as footage already present.
