Cafe Recap Edit

Thariq-style local loop: write the edit as JSON, let ffmpeg execute. Media never leaves your Mac.

Flow

  1. Drop event media into the staging folders
  2. Sort takes / photos (stage-media.sh)
  3. Catalog + optional Whisper
  4. Heuristic planner → work/final-edit.json
  5. ffmpeg cuts + concat + grade
  6. Media QC report
  7. Human watch — reject Keynote energy

Local only

This tool does not upload video to Vercel. Copy the CLI and run inside aileena-new/ on a Mac with ffmpeg.

  • Always use the final timelapse under takes/timelapse/
  • Prefer girls/ smiles/ community stills when picking photos
  • Default grade: de-yellow + lift (project.json → output.grade)

Mac CLI

cd aileena-new
pnpm install
bash scripts/video-edit/stage-media.sh          # preview sort
bash scripts/video-edit/stage-media.sh --go     # copy into takes/photos
pnpm video:recap                                # catalog → plan → ffmpeg → verify
open scripts/video-edit/out/cafe-cursor-shanghai-recap.mp4
