# video-editing
Short-form editing and reel analysis with local tools (ffmpeg, yt-dlp, whisper).
Resolve supporting files relative to this skill directory and read only what the
task needs:
- [references/editing/editing.md](references/editing/editing.md) for any cut,
trim, loudness pass, or caption burn-in. It routes to the smaller references.
- [references/reel.md](references/reel.md) with `scripts/reel.sh` to inspect a
reel's real audio, transcript, and frames.
Source footage is read-only. Cuts go to a `_cuts/` directory beside the source.
Keep draft, export, upload, scheduled, and published states distinct, and ask
before anything leaves the machine.
