Builds the EDIT of a generated-video piece as a derived EDL: the script rewritten as a beat list FIRST, the picked keepers placed by derivation, the sound placed from picture markers, the script-fidelity gate before any finish, and every note applied as a parameter change to a NEW version file. Genre switch: ads, film, music video. Use when approved keepers need a cut, a cut note or a client round changes a cut, or an EDL must be checked against the script. Triggers — "build the EDL…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Video Edit — the EDL

The edit is a **derived document**: the client script is the single source of truth, the keepers are
the operator's picks, and every timeline number is computed from them by a builder. A typed time is a
defect waiting for the next re-version; a hand edit to a shipped EDL is a lost audit trail. The finisher
(`video-finish-qc`) reads nothing but this file, and the beat gate refuses a finish the script does not
sanction. Editorial notes are **cut notes first** — four re-cuts in an afternoon cost zero credits;
a regen is the last rung of the repair ladder, never the first.

**What varies.** The ad grammar's numbers — a hook inside 2 s, the closer 0.7 s into the turntable, the last line
0.5 s before the hit, the card at its own render length (2.5 s by default) — and its captions and card belong to one genre: film and music video carry their
own ([`references/GENRE-GRAMMAR.md`](references/GENRE-GRAMMAR.md)), and a brand's own spec overrides either. The
derivation, the gate and the new-file rule do not move — `video-production/references/WHAT-VARIES.md`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add konradre/video-production-skills/video-edit-edl@sha256:d80ca2d7e624473c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.cd92701, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
