# Save Local

> Move a rendered short into ./output/<source-video-name>/. Auto-creates the per-source folder. Use as the final step so all shorts from one source video land in one browseable folder.

# save-local

Final-stage delivery. Local filesystem only (no Drive, no cloud).

## Inputs
- `input`: rendered short path
- `source`: original source video path (used to derive folder name when `subdir` is omitted)
- `name` (optional): destination filename, defaults to `<input basename>`
- `subdir` (optional): destination folder under `OUTPUT_DIR`. When given, overrides the source-stem derivation — the pipeline passes a kebab slug of the source title so shorts land in `output/<title-slug>/` instead of the generic `source` stem.

## Output
Path to the saved file: `<OUTPUT_DIR>/<subdir-or-source-stem>/<name>`. Returns the path.

## How
1. Read `OUTPUT_DIR` from `.env` (default `./output`).
2. Folder = `subdir` if given, else `Path(source).stem`.
3. `mkdir -p <OUTPUT_DIR>/<stem>`.
4. Copy (not move — preserve the render in its working dir) the file in.
5. Print the absolute destination path so the user can open it.

## Status
Implemented — `save-local.sh`.
