Quick repeatable pipeline:
1) Prompt ChatGPT to output scene-by-scene JSON: {id,start,end,text,notes}.
2) Batch-synthesize each segment via ElevenLabs API (use SSML for pauses; chunk long text).
3) Export WAV (48k), name files like 00_00_12-00_00_22_scene3.wav.
4) Import to your NLE, snap audio to timestamps, apply small fades and normalize.
Automate with a Python/Node script that calls both APIs and writes a timeline CSV for your editor.
