Managing raw video footage and its associated metadata across multiple projects can be chaotic. This Skill provides a structured way to organize video assets, track their analysis status, and prepare them for AI-driven editing.

Video library organization involves creating a structured directory with library.yaml metadata files, transcripts, and rough cuts. This Skill backs up your entire libraries directory to a timestamped ZIP file, preserving all metadata and project state while excluding video files, enabling disaster recovery and environment transfers.
Library backups include library.yaml configuration files, transcript data, and rough cut files organized by project. Video files themselves are excluded to keep backup size manageable; only metadata and project structure are preserved for restoration or migration to another environment.
Yes. Backups contain the complete libraries directory structure with all metadata, transcripts, and rough cuts. Restore by extracting the ZIP to your target environment; video files must be relinked or re-imported separately since they're excluded from backups.
Backing up requires Ruby runtime, write access to project directories, and the backup script located at .claude/skills/backup-library/backup_libraries.rb. Your libraries directory must contain library.yaml and associated metadata files to back up.
Backup frequency depends on your project velocity and risk tolerance. Run backups before major edits, after completing analysis passes, or on a regular schedule for active projects. Timestamped backups let you maintain multiple recovery points without manual versioning.
Yes. The backup script integrates into automation workflows and project management pipelines. Schedule it to run before video analysis kickoffs, after metadata updates, or as part of disaster recovery procedures to maintain consistent library snapshots.
