Interprets segment fields (narration, visuals, motion, SFX, and intent) to produce precise, editor-ready instructions.
Produces a structured guide with Summary, Asset Inventory, Timeline Table, and Segment-by-Segment Assembly Instructions suitable for QA and post-edit review.

Quick Start

Generate a Descript Assembly Guide from the completed manifest to guide human editors.

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a Descript assembly guide from a segment manifest?▼

To generate a Descript assembly guide, you input a finished segment manifest containing narration, visuals, motion, and intent fields to produce an editor-ready markdown guide with a summary, asset inventory, timeline, and assembly instructions.

What is a Descript assembly guide and when do I need one for video assembly?▼

A Descript assembly guide is a structured markdown document detailing asset order, track assignment, timing, and transitions. You need one when streamlining human video assembly for narrated-lesson projects to ensure intent-preserving edits.

Can I use a manifest with audio and behavioral intents to create timeline instructions for Descript?▼

Yes, the manifest interpreter reads behavioral intents, audio, visuals, motion, and SFX fields to produce precise timeline table entries and segment-level instructions suitable for human editors performing QA and post-edit review.

What manifest fields are required to output a complete assembly guide with an asset inventory and timeline?▼

Generating a complete assembly guide requires a manifest with enforced fields for narration, visuals, motion, SFX, and intent. The tool validates these segment fields to output the summary, asset inventory, and timeline sections correctly.

Does this assembly guide generator work without pyyaml or other dependencies?▼

No, the assembly guide generator requires the pyyaml dependency to parse and validate the YAML manifest structure before creating the deterministic, human-facing markdown guide for video editors.

Why does my manifest fail to generate a Descript assembly guide with segment instructions?▼

Manifest generation fails when required segment fields like narration, visuals, motion, SFX, or intent are missing or incomplete. The generator enforces these fields to document asset order and timing for editor-ready instructions.
