Video Edit Assembly

Use when this procedure is the primary professional method needed for the assignment.

Procedure

1. Confirm the decision or outcome this work must support, its scope, owner, constraints, and definition of success.
2. Establish the evidence baseline using script/brief, raw video/audio, demo states, visual assets, target duration, and audience. Do not fill material gaps with assumptions when they can change the result.
3. Ingest and label media, sync sources, build a proof-first rough cut, remove dead time/repetition, preserve necessary setup/context, and lock structure before polish.
4. Exercise realistic edge, failure, transition, or exception cases that could invalidate the result; record unresolved uncertainty explicitly.
5. Validate the output against the original outcome and any neighboring professional contracts so this skill does not silently absorb another specialist's authority.
6. Record the resulting artifact, measurements, decisions, provenance, and handoff information needed for another owner to reproduce or continue the work.

Quality gate

The rough/final cut communicates the intended outcome without hiding failures or confusing temporal/state continuity.
