Step 1 of the AI Video Editor pipeline — turn raw talking-head footage into a clean master cut. Use when the user wants to "clean cut", "cut the raw footage", "remove filler / dead air / bad takes", "tighten the pacing", produce cuts.json, run the cut editor, or render a cleaned preview/master for a video-N project in this repo. Covers audio extraction, AssemblyAI transcription, authoring cuts.json (keeps/cuts/fluff categorized), the cut policy (content-aggressive, pause-natural ~0.5s), QA + review docs, the local cut-editor UI, tight/natural previews, the final 4K60 render, and producing edited-transcript.json as the handoff to /make-tsx. Not for building TSX overlays (that is /make-tsx) or the raw TSX authoring rules (that is vidtsx-2d-generator).

Turn a project's raw clips (videos/video-N/DJI_*.MP4) into a clean master + edited-transcript.json (the word-level timing spine every later step anchors to). The single source of truth is videos/video-N/work/analysis/cuts.json — shared by Claude and the editor UI. Every tool lives in tools/ and takes the project dir as its first arg.
You (Claude) author the cuts by reading the transcript. No separate LLM call. The tools handle audio, encoding, QA, and the editor; the judgment — what is a retake, a false start, filler, or fluff — is yours.
Let P = the project (e.g. video-1). Clip id = a short handle (0233); every artifact for a clip is named by that id (0233.wav, 0233.json). The raw MP4 path is stored per-clip in cuts.json as file.
Extract 16 kHz mono WAV per clip → P/work/audio/<id>.wav (used for transcription + the RMS noise-floor / snap-to-audio tails). Not scripted — run ffmpeg per clip:
ffmpeg -i videos/video-1/DJI_...0233_D.MP4 -vn -ac 1 -ar 16000 videos/video-1/work/audio/0233.wav
Draft this video's keyterms → P/work/keyterms.txt (do this before transcribing). Keyterms bias the recognizer toward this video's proper nouns / product / tech names so they aren't mangled (e.g. "Seedream" not "sea dream", "Cloudflare" not "cloud flare"). Accuracy here is load-bearing: the transcript text drives cut decisions AND /make-tsx greps it for phrases to time beats — a garbled term breaks both. From the video's topic/title, list the ~10–40 likely brand names, tools, tech, and jargon, one per line (blank lines and # comments ignored). This is per-video — never hardcode terms in transcribe.py. If you skip the file, transcription still runs (empty fallback), just with more errors on specialty words. The shape is one term per line:

Transcribe (needs ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY in .env; verbatim, keeps fillers; auto-loads work/keyterms.txt):
python tools/transcribe.py P → P/work/transcripts/<id>.json. --clips 0233 for one, --force to redo. It prints how many keyterms it loaded — a "none" line means you haven't drafted them.
Readable take view for analysis: python tools/format_transcript.py P → P/work/analysis/takes-<id>.txt (segments on >0.8s gaps, fillers tagged inline with timestamps).
Author cuts.json (see schema below) by reading takes-*.txt: mark every span as a keep or a categorized cut, add fluff suggestions and judgment-call flags.
QA + review docs:
python tools/analyze_cut.py P [--style tight] → qa-report.md (internal dead-air, clipped-tail risks, tiny fragments, fluff, hard entries at cut joins, ghost speech = untranscribed energy riding inside a keep, low-confidence kept tokens). Ghost/hard-entry checks exist because a transcript diff CANNOT see a mistimed token (clipped word onset) or an untranscribed false start ("and it—") that survives the cut — only energy-vs-token cross-checks catch them (a careful listen caught both before these checks existed).
python tools/make_review.py P → review.md (per-clip keep/cut table + estimated length per style).
Editor proxy (once): python tools/make_proxy.py P → P/work/editor/{proxy.mp4, waveform.png, manifest.json} (720p concat of raw clips + per-clip offsets).
Previews (render BOTH, user picks): python tools/render_cuts.py P --style tight --mode preview and --style natural → P/output/preview-<style>.mp4 (720p h264_nvenc).
8.5. Machine verification of the render (MANDATORY after every preview render, before
showing the user). Extract the preview's WAV → transcribe.py P --clips preview --force → python tools/verify_cut.py P → verify-report.md. A second ASR pass
over the RENDER, diffed against the intended kept tokens: EXTRA words = untranscribed
ghosts that rode along (false starts glued to word tails — invisible to the raw
transcript, and energy heuristics can't tell them from word releases); MISSING words
= clipped/dropped; plus interior-pause anomalies and low-confidence rendered tokens.
Born in testing: a mistimed ASR token clipped a word onset ('slash dot
env' → '...env') and a ghost 'and it—' survived to the render; a careful listen caught
both, now these tools do. Treat every finding as "listen here": explain each one or
fix it — don't declare the cut good while the report has unexplained lines.
USER AUDIT — this is a hard gate, same as the plan step. Open the editor: python tools/editor/server.py P → http://localhost:8765. User drags keep/cut edges, adds cuts (I/O + C), compares raw vs edited playback; Save rewrites cuts.json (backup to work/analysis/backups/, appended to changes.log); Render button re-runs a preview. Iterate until approved.
Final master: python tools/render_cuts.py P --style <chosen> --mode final → P/output/master-<style>.mp4 (4K60 10-bit hevc_nvenc). Two MANDATORY post-render steps:
ffprobe -show_entries stream=duration on v:0 vs a:0 — they MUST be equal. verify_cut's A/V budget GROWS along the timeline (±2s by mid-video) and masks a real accumulating drift; the equal-duration check is the definitive one. (See the drift note under Notes.)ffmpeg -r <src_fps> -i master-<style>.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 19 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac master-<style>-h264.mp4 — the source fps BEFORE -i re-stamps every frame (no frame loss) so v:0==a:0. This is the file the user reviews AND the comp-native source downstream steps use.edited-transcript.json: word times in the FINAL master timeline. Simplest robust path (what video-1 used): extract the master's WAV and transcribe.py it, then normalize to {words:[{text,start,end}...]} in ms. (A cuts.json time-remapper is the planned alternative.) This file is what /make-tsx reads to sync visuals to speech.Do steps 1–4 and 7 once; loop 5→6→8→9 until the cut is approved; then 10–11.

# clean-cut — the step-1 cut pipeline
Turn a project's raw clips (`videos/video-N/DJI_*.MP4`) into a **clean master** + **`edited-transcript.json`** (the word-level timing spine every later step anchors to). The single source of truth is **`videos/video-N/work/analysis/cuts.json`** — shared by Claude and the editor UI. Every tool lives in `tools/` and takes the project dir as its first arg.
**You (Claude) author the cuts by reading the transcript.** No separate LLM call. The tools handle audio, encoding, QA, and the editor; the judgment — what is a retake, a false start, filler, or fluff — is yours.
## Pipeline (run in order)
Let `P` = the project (e.g. `video-1`). Clip **id** = a short handle (`0233`); every artifact for a clip is named by that id (`0233.wav`, `0233.json`). The raw MP4 path is stored per-clip in cuts.json as `file`.
1. **Extract 16 kHz mono WAV per clip** → `P/work/audio/<id>.wav` (used for transcription + the RMS noise-floor / snap-to-audio tails). Not scripted — run ffmpeg per clip:
`ffmpeg -i videos/video-1/DJI_...0233_D.MP4 -vn -ac 1 -ar 16000 videos/video-1/work/audio/0233.wav`
2. **Draft this video's keyterms → `P/work/keyterms.txt`** (do this before transcribing). Keyterms bias the recognizer toward this video's proper nouns / product / tech names so they aren't mangled (e.g. "Seedream" not "sea dream", "Cloudflare" not "cloud flare"). Accuracy here is load-bearing: the transcript text drives cut decisions AND `/make-tsx` greps it for phrases to time beats — a garbled term breaks both. From the video's topic/title, list the ~10–40 likely brand names, tools, tech, and jargon, one per line (blank lines and `#` comments ignored). **This is per-video — never hardcode terms in `transcribe.py`.** If you skip the file, transcription still runs (empty fallback), just with more errors on specialty words. The shape is one term per line:

3. **Transcribe** (needs `ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY` in `.env`; verbatim, keeps fillers; auto-loads `work/keyterms.txt`):
`python tools/transcribe.py P` → `P/work/transcripts/<id>.json`. `--clips 0233` for one, `--force` to redo. It prints how many keyterms it loaded — a "none" line means you haven't drafted them.
4. **Readable take view** for analysis: `python tools/format_transcript.py P` → `P/work/analysis/takes-<id>.txt` (segments on >0.8s gaps, fillers tagged inline with timestamps).
5. **Author `cuts.json`** (see schema below) by reading `takes-*.txt`: mark every span as a keep or a categorized cut, add fluff suggestions and judgment-call flags.
6. **QA + review docs**:
`python tools/analyze_cut.py P [--style tight]` → `qa-report.md` (internal dead-air, clipped-tail risks, tiny fragments, fluff, hard entries at cut joins, **ghost speech** = untranscribed energy riding inside a keep, low-confidence kept tokens). Ghost/hard-entry checks exist because a transcript diff CANNOT see a mistimed token (clipped word onset) or an untranscribed false start ("and it—") that survives the cut — only energy-vs-token cross-checks catch them (a careful listen caught both before these checks existed).
`python tools/make_review.py P` → `review.md` (per-clip keep/cut table + estimated length per style).
7. **Editor proxy** (once): `python tools/make_proxy.py P` → `P/work/editor/{proxy.mp4, waveform.png, manifest.json}` (720p concat of raw clips + per-clip offsets).
8. **Previews** (render BOTH, user picks): `python tools/render_cuts.py P --style tight --mode preview` and `--style natural` → `P/output/preview-<style>.mp4` (720p h264_nvenc).
8.5. **Machine verification of the render (MANDATORY after every preview render, before
showing the user).** Extract the preview's WAV → `transcribe.py P --clips preview
--force` → `python tools/verify_cut.py P` → `verify-report.md`. A second ASR pass
over the RENDER, diffed against the intended kept tokens: EXTRA words = untranscribed
ghosts that rode along (false starts glued to word tails — invisible to the raw
transcript, and energy heuristics can't tell them from word releases); MISSING words
= clipped/dropped; plus interior-pause anomalies and low-confidence rendered tokens.
Born in testing: a mistimed ASR token clipped a word onset ('slash dot
env' → '...env') and a ghost 'and it—' survived to the render; a careful listen caught
both, now these tools do. Treat every finding as "listen here": explain each one or
fix it — don't declare the cut good while the report has unexplained lines.
9. **USER AUDIT** — this is a hard gate, same as the plan step. Open the editor: `python tools/editor/server.py P` → http://localhost:8765. User drags keep/cut edges, adds cuts (I/O + C), compares raw vs edited playback; Save rewrites cuts.json (backup to `work/analysis/backups/`, appended to `changes.log`); Render button re-runs a preview. Iterate until approved.
10. **Final master**: `python tools/render_cuts.py P --style <chosen> --mode final` → `P/output/master-<style>.mp4` (4K60 10-bit hevc_nvenc). Two MANDATORY post-render steps:
- **A/V duration gate:** `ffprobe -show_entries stream=duration` on v:0 vs a:0 — they MUST be equal. verify_cut's A/V budget GROWS along the timeline (±2s by mid-video) and masks a real accumulating drift; the equal-duration check is the definitive one. (See the drift note under Notes.)
- **Playable/handoff transcode:** the 10-bit HEVC master won't play in most players or the IDE preview, and the HEVC final stamps frames ~0.1% fast on 59.94fps footage. Produce an 8-bit H.264 that fixes both by re-timing to true CFR: `ffmpeg -r <src_fps> -i master-<style>.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 19 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac master-<style>-h264.mp4` — the source fps BEFORE `-i` re-stamps every frame (no frame loss) so v:0==a:0. This is the file the user reviews AND the comp-native source downstream steps use.
11. **Handoff spine — `edited-transcript.json`**: word times in the FINAL master timeline. Simplest robust path (what video-1 used): extract the master's WAV and `transcribe.py` it, then normalize to `{words:[{text,start,end}...]}` in ms. (A cuts.json time-remapper is the planned alternative.) This file is what `/make-tsx` reads to sync visuals to speech.
Do steps 1–4 and 7 once; loop 5→6→8→9 until the cut is approved; then 10–11.

}
```
- `cat` ∈ `retake | false_start | filler | long_pause | dead_air`. Times are raw seconds within that clip.
- **Keeps are never deleted.** A fluff span with `status:"auto_applied"` just *hides* the keeps it covers (undo = flip back to `"suggested"`). Reserve `auto_applied` for high-confidence fluff; leave the rest `"suggested"` (suggest-only — the renderer never drops suggested fluff).
- `flags` = judgment calls surfaced to the user with a `default`.
## Cut policy (how to decide)
Calibrated against a hand-made reference cut (the creator's own CapCut edit). **The target pacing = content-aggressive + pause-natural.** The big retention lever is cutting fluff and redundancy, NOT crushing silence — keep ~0.45–0.5s of natural breathing between runs. So:
- **Look for spoken editing instructions first — they outrank your judgment.** Creators talk to the
editor on camera. Grep every clip's transcript for `other take` / `another take` / `repeat this
section` / `remove this` / `not needed` before you decide anything. On video-1 these resolved most
of the hard calls: `"Other take."` means the run that FOLLOWS supersedes the ones before;
`"I will repeat this section"` killed an entire first pass at a beat; `"There is no app or UI"`
×3 followed by `"Remove this sentence. Not needed."` meant all four go. **Slates hide mid-segment**
— the take view splits on 0.8s gaps, so a slate spoken without a pause around it sits inside a
segment (`"...open source pro— another take. Okay, since this project is..."`) and needs a
word-level split. After authoring, assert no kept text still contains a slate phrase.
- **Always cut:** retakes/false starts (keep the winning take, cut the rest — note which supersedes which), stumbles, dead air, and clear fillers.
- **Doubled phrases: cut the FIRST one.** When a phrase is delivered twice back to back — `"And what and what makes it so powerful?"`, `"it holds— it holds your decisions"`, `"doesn't reflect, doesn't contradict, doesn't contradict with chapter 1"` — the creator wants the earlier one gone, *including when it sits mid-sentence inside an otherwise good take*. On video-1 the user gave 17 audit notes and every single one was "cut the first". Do this pass yourself before showing a preview: n-gram-scan the kept words for adjacent repeated runs and for tokens ending in an em-dash, then cut the first run at the quiet point between them. The only exception is scripted comedy (video-1's `"ready to get shocked— uh, sorry, I mean..."`), so check the script before cutting a stumble that the script also contains.
- **Suggest, don't auto-remove (usually):** fluff — preamble that delays the payoff, evaluative asides, restated ideas. Categorize each (`crit`) and let the user decide in review.
- **Pauses:** compress but don't flatten. The two styles both target natural breathing; `tight` lands mid-flow pauses punchy, `natural` gives more room. Section ends / spots after a removed retake get a **soft landing** (more tail) so they breathe.
- Default to rendering **both** `tight` and `natural` and letting the user pick.
This is the ground truth for the channel's pacing — content-aggressive on fluff, natural on pauses.
### Style params (in `styles`, general knobs — no per-video constants)
`internal_gap` (split keeps into speech-run atoms at pauses ≥ this) · `min_tail`/`max_tail` (snap-to-audio tail range after a word) · `head` (lead-in before an atom) · `margin` (dB over noise floor that counts as "decayed") · `soft_gap` (a following gap ≥ this = section end → soft landing) · `soft_max_tail`/`soft_margin` (the softer landing).
Reference values that matched the reference cut: tight `{internal_gap:0.4, min_tail:0.14, max_tail:0.4, head:0.11, soft_gap:1.2, soft_max_tail:0.6, soft_margin:3.0}`; natural bumps `min_tail:0.26, max_tail:0.45, head:0.19`.
