## What this skill does

- Builds one timeline from multiple clips with explicit order and cut points.
- Preserves source pixels between edits and applies only requested transitions and audio rules.

## How to use

Provide clips, order or narrative goal, runtime, ratio, transitions and audio policy.

#### Example

```text
Combine these three authorized clips in upload order; trim dead starts, use straight cuts, normalize to 16:9, keep audio.
```

## Workflow

1. Probe each clip for duration, frame rate, dimensions, audio and rotation.
2. Create an edit decision list with in/out points, order, transitions and audio treatment.
3. Assemble deterministically; generative models may create inserts but never replace requested clips.
4. Review export for order, cut frames, sync, aspect, black frames, peaks and duration.
