Quick pipeline:
1) Transcribe episode (Otter/Rev).
2) Use ChatGPT to extract 60–90s moments and draft hook + body + CTA (3 lines).
3) Tweak tone/timestamps.
4) Generate narration in ElevenLabs → WAV.
5) Assemble clip (waveform, subtitles, 1–2 B-roll shots).
6) Batch render with presets below.
Export presets (examples):
- TikTok/Reels: 9:16, 1080x1920, H.264, 6 Mbps, AAC 192 kbps, 30 fps, ≤90s
- Instagram feed: 1:1, 1080x1080, 4 Mbps, AAC 128 kbps
- YouTube Shorts: same as TikTok
- X/LinkedIn: 16:9, 1280x720, 5 Mbps, AAC 128 kbps
