DaVinci Resolve Social Editor

Core Rule

Do not cut from transcript text alone. Build a story-first edit plan, then prove it with media analysis, frame checks, audio checks, and a Resolve-ready review artifact.

The failure mode to avoid is a technically valid cut that is semantically broken: sentence fragments, jump cuts, subject out of frame, captions that do not match, or music competing with speech.

Required Workflow

1. Ingest and audit
   • Scan media with scripts/probe_media.py <project-root> --out <manifest.json>.
   • Identify camera ISOs, HQ audio, existing Resolve projects, brand images, and prior renders.
   • Detect unusable tracks early: silent WAVs, black cameras, missing audio, mismatched duration, or odd frame rates.
