Score And Mix Picture

Core Contract

Turn locked picture into a repeatable two-pass audio workflow:

picture evidence -> music/SFX spotting map -> score strategy -> generation prompt
returned music + licensed SFX -> edit map -> dialogue-safe mix -> verified audio masters

Treat music as narrative structure, not wallpaper. Preserve useful silence, source sound, dialogue, and sound effects. Do not promise a finished mix until the rendered files have been probed and checked against picture duration.

Runtime Requirements

• Python 3.10 or newer; bundled scripts use only the standard library.
• FFmpeg and FFprobe available on PATH for probing, editing, loudness measurement, and WAV rendering.
• A host capability that can inspect video frames and audio/transcript semantics. If the host cannot watch video, require a timecoded shot list/transcript and state that semantic picture analysis is limited.
• No external Skill or MCP server is mandatory. Optional host video-understanding, music-generation, and NLE tools may improve execution.
