SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Editorial discipline that ensures edits serve the story, not the generator, delivering ship-ready cuts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Story-first spine: define a single guiding spine sentence that every cut supports.
  • Five-pass rewrite loop: perform iterative passes (Story, Pacing, Transition, Polish, Cold Watch) to refine structure, rhythm, and cadence.
  • Beat-keyed editing guidance: align cuts to narration beats, dialogue timing, and musical cues to maximize coherence.
  • Use Case: a producer uses this skill to cut a rough timeline into a tight, story-driven sequence that can be refined without chasing prompts.

Quick Start

Read this discipline before editing to ensure spine-driven cuts and a five-pass rewrite loop.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep timeline edits story-first instead of chasing prompts?▼

A five-pass rewrite loop refines rough timelines through Story, Pacing, Transition, Polish, and Cold Watch passes. This iterative process adjusts structure, rhythm, and cadence to produce a tight, story-driven sequence.

How do I align cuts to narration beats and dialogue timing?▼

Beat-keyed editing guidance aligns cuts to narration beats, dialogue timing, and musical cues to maximize coherence. This ensures your timeline assembly maintains proper beat alignment throughout the sequence.

What is the best way to prune a rough timeline into a tight sequence?▼

The best way to prune a rough timeline is applying ruthless editorial discipline to preserve story integrity. Define a story-first spine, then use a five-pass rewrite loop to iteratively refine pacing and structure into a tight sequence.

Can I generate missing material during timeline post-production?▼

Yes, you can generate missing material during timeline post-production. The editorial workflow includes prompts for generating needed content when material is missing, ensuring the story spine remains intact without halting the edit.

When should I not use a story-first spine for editorial rewrites?▼

You should not use a story-first spine approach when your edit does not require narrative coherence or beat alignment. This editorial discipline is designed for post-production workflows needing structural refinement, pacing adjustments, and rewrite iterations.
