# Video Workbench

Video Workbench is the production workspace for dimensional output: turning deep essays, models, and ideas into short public-facing video packages.

It is a sibling of Writing Workbench, not a subfolder of it.

## Position

```text
Knowledge Vault      = source archive, formal essays, human model documents, historical discussions
Writing Workbench    = deep article production workspace
Video Workbench      = dimensional video output production workspace
CCPE System          = AI cognitive asset engineering workspace
Delivery Systems     = deployable external agentic products
```

## Mission

This workspace manages the process of extracting one or two accessible points from deep essays or models and producing a video-ready package, usually under 10 minutes.

It preserves:

- series architecture
- episode scope
- angle proposals
- selected angle
- video outline
- global visual style
- storyboard logic
- shot-level deep production
- voiceover script
- image prompts
- generated image/audio assets
- editing notes
- publishing copy

## Boundaries

- Deep essays and human model documents remain in `knowledge-vault`.
- Deep article creation remains in `writing-workbench`.
- Actors, Skills, Model Cards, and Runtimes are maintained in `ccpe-system`.
- Manual editing and publishing remain human-controlled unless explicitly automated later.

## Starting A New Session

In a new Codex session opened on this project, use:

```md
Please read README.md, VIDEO_WORKBENCH.md, docs/context-handoff.md, and docs/ccpe-system-handoff.md first, then continue work on Video Workbench according to those conventions.
```
