What it does
pick.py draws a film plan weighted for format and energy so two films do not share the same moves; look comes from three personality words; copy arrives in fragments; timeline.ts drives picture, soundtrack and QA; true motion blur, BT.709, contact sheets, critic passes and a linter of hard bans against the generated look. Remotion by default or HyperFrames. Sound from the earshot kit (already in catalog).
Use when
- launch teasers that should not look templated
- brand films with measured sound sync
Not for
- quick social cuts
- talking-head edits
