Finishes generated or low-resolution video — upscale, film look, grain, watermark, delivery encode — in the order that survives platform recompression. Use when AI-generated footage (Seedance, Veo, Kling, Runway) needs to reach a deliverable; when choosing an upscaler or tier; when applying a Dehancer film look or a LUT; when deciding grain; or when a finished master looks mushy, bands, or loses its grain after upload. Triggers — "upscale this video", "which Topaz model", "Starlight or Rhea…

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 Finish

Taking generated video to a deliverable. **The order is the skill** — every rule below exists because
doing it in a different order destroys something you paid for.

```
upscale  →  grade (LUT + Dehancer)  →  grain  →  watermark  →  downscale  →  encode
```

Nothing in that chain commutes. Grade before the upscale and the reconstructor rebuilds your halation
as photographed detail. Grain at delivery resolution and the encoder discards it. Watermark before
the upscale and it gets sharpened into artefacts.

**Scope.** This skill is the per-clip technique and the order it must run in. A whole SPOT — its EDL, the
hero chain, the three-stage render, the finals and the deliverable QC — runs through `video-finish-qc`, which
applies the order below; come here for the tier, the grade, the grain, the watermark and the byte-cap decisions.

**What varies.** The tier names, rates and pixel thresholds are the Topaz and Dehancer versions measured in
[`references/EVIDENCE.md`](references/EVIDENCE.md); the delivery bitrate decides grain; the platform and the byte cap decide
the variant. The order is the one thing that does not move — `video-production/references/WHAT-VARIES.md`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add konradre/video-production-skills/video-finish@sha256:6f5c71e67f0da415

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.01026c1, 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.
