Henshusha Edit Timeline
Use when the user wants to cut a source video, add midway titles, add captions, or prepare a manual timeline for render.
Workflow
- Identify the target video project under
projects/<project-name>/.
- Read
scripts/edit-plan.md first; create or update it if the edit intent is still vague.
- Convert cuts into a
video track in timelines/main.timeline.json.
- Convert center headings into a
title track.
- Convert lower-third text into a
caption track.
- Run
npx henshusha validate projects/<project-name> before render.
- Summarize the exact source ranges, output timing, and overlay text.
Do not invent Whisper/ASR timings. Use explicit manual timings from the edit plan.
