Convert scripts into clip-by-clip production instructions.

## Process

### Step 1: Take Script Input

Accept complete script with: hook, body sections, CTA, target length.

### Step 2: Break Into 2-4 Second Elements

Each element is a discrete visual moment:
- No element shorter than 2 seconds
- No element longer than 4 seconds
- Multiple cuts within elements OK
- Match timing to VO/action

### Step 3: Specify Per Element

- What's on screen
- Camera angle/movement
- Framing (wide/medium/close)

**B-Roll Source**
- Stock footage keywords
- Existing footage reference

**Text Overlays**
- On-screen text
- Font/style notes
- Animation (none/fade/pop)

**AI Generation Prompts** (for Sora/Cling/HigsField)
- Full prompt for AI video generation
- Style references
- Movement description

### Step 4: Add Technical Notes

## AI Generation Tips (VISCAP)

**For Stock Replacement:**
- Use Sora 2 for simple UGC-style clips
- Text-to-video works for basic B-roll
- Include "shot on iPhone" in prompts for native feel

**For Impossible Shots:**
- Image-to-video with reference image
- JSON prompting for complex scenes
- Cling O1 Edit for product placement

**For Scientific/Product Animations:**
- AI excels at 3D scientific animations
- Product beauty shots work well
- Stylized/non-realistic clips for hooks

## Platform-Specific Notes

**TikTok/Reels:** Fast cuts (1.5-2s), vertical, native feel
**Facebook Feed:** Can be slower, square or vertical
**YouTube:** Can breathe more, horizontal OK
**Native Ads:** Minimal cuts, straightforward
