description	Build a fast montage from the timeline's best moments with markers, crossfades, and an end title.

Highlights reel

Goal: a montage of short punchy moments from the material already on the timeline.

Call describe_project. If the user marked moments (markers exist), those are the highlights; otherwise ask which moments to keep or use their selection.
For each highlight, isolate a 2 to 5 s segment: split_clip at both edges of the moment, then remove_clip on everything between highlights and close gaps track by track with shift_clips (or use ripple_delete on the clips being dropped so later clips close up automatically).
Keep the reel moving: no kept segment should exceed about 5 s; split and drop the middle of anything longer.
Add crossfades between neighboring segments on the main track: add_transition with a crossfade after each clip except the last, then set_transition to 0.4 s.
Optional energy pass: speed up flat-feeling segments with set_clip_speed at 1.25 to 1.5x; never speed up speech the viewer must follow.
End card: add_generated text (the user's title, or the project name) on a text track over the last 2 s, with a fade in animation (set_clip_animation).
Finish with describe_project and report the reel's final duration and the segments kept.
