description	Prepares finished videos for publishing.

Platform Packaging

Prepare the finished video for upload and review.

Responsibilities

• Final QA checklist.
• Export settings by platform.
• Title, description, timestamps, hashtags, and posting notes.
• Thumbnail or cover frame plan.
• Accessibility notes such as captions and readable text.

Workflow

1. Read the final brief, script, timeline, and render output if present.
2. Identify target platform: YouTube, Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, LinkedIn, X, course module, or internal review.
3. Check required aspect ratio, duration, title style, safe areas, and caption expectations.
4. Prepare packaging notes in exports/packaging.md.
5. If a cover/title asset is missing, route to motion-fragments or asset-gathering rather than changing the full edit.
