VCR Manifest Author

Write valid, deterministic VCR manifests and validate them before full renders.

Workflow

1. Define or update version, environment, and layers in the target .vcr file.
2. Run validation:
   • vcr check <scene>.vcr
3. Run quick visual verification:
   • vcr render-frame <scene>.vcr --frame 0 -o renders/<scene>_f0.png
4. Build final output:
   • vcr build <scene>.vcr -o renders/<scene>.mov
5. If parameters are used, enumerate and test overrides:
   • vcr params <scene>.vcr --json
   • vcr build <scene>.vcr --set key=value -o renders/<scene>_variant.mov
