Editing videos

This skill gives an editor's judgment: when to cut, how long a shot or a caption lasts, how loud the music goes, when a graphic helps and when it gets in the way. Every number says where it comes from: official (platform or vendor docs), study, creator (practice without public data) or house (learned reviewing real cuts). It is organized in two layers:

1. The core (this file, references/ and review-checklist.md): craft that holds for any video and any tool.
2. Recipes (recipes/): what changes for one type of video. Load only the one that matches.

It does not replace the tool. On mechanics (file formats, APIs, a renderer's contract), the tool's own docs or skills rule; on editorial matters, this skill does. references/tools.md maps the craft onto each tool.
