Henshusha Digest Story
Use when the user wants to quickly make a digest, highlight reel, story cut, recap, short video, or editing demo from existing footage.
Goal
Make editing feel simple and visually satisfying on the first run:
raw video → 3-5 story beats → scripts/digest-story.md → scripts/edit-plan.md → timelines/main.timeline.json with Remotion text presets → dry-run → FFmpeg MP4 and Remotion preview/render.
Workflow
- Identify the target video project under
projects/<project-name>/ (default: projects/sample-video).
- Run
npm run doctor:updates when working inside a generated workspace and network access is acceptable. If an update is available, tell the user before editing; do not block the digest if the check fails.
- Confirm source media under
sources/raw/.
- Create or update
scripts/digest-story.md with 3-5 beats:
- hook: why this video matters
- context: what is being shown
- key moment: the strongest clip
- payoff: what changed or what viewer should remember
- outro: short closing line
- Convert those beats into
scripts/edit-plan.md:
- each beat gets a source time range
- each beat gets output timing
- hook titles use
headline-pop
- context captions use
karaoke-caption when timing/progress helps
- ordinary subtitles use
bottom-caption
- payoff/title cards can use or
