Create a rough-cut timeline from media pool clips.

• /assembly "Selects" --clips clip1.mp4 clip2.mp4 — Specific clips
• /assembly "Edit v1" --bin Footage --tracks 2v 4a — With track config

Workflow

From a Bin

1. Parse timeline name and bin path
2. Call cutmaster_quick_assembly with timeline_name and bin_path
3. Report: "Timeline 'X' created with Y clips"

From Specific Clips

1. Parse clip names from the user's request
2. Call cutmaster_quick_assembly with timeline_name and clip_names list
3. Report results and any clips not found

With Track Configuration

1. Call cutmaster_assembly_from_bin with timeline_name, bin_path, video_tracks, audio_tracks
2. This creates the timeline, adds tracks, and names them V1/V2/A1/A2/etc.
3. Report the final track configuration

Sort Options

• name (default) — Alphabetical by clip name
• none — Pool order (as they appear in the bin)
