Advanced video editing: the editing layer barely exists #1

Description

@metiu1

Right now the pipeline stitches clips together and that's about it. There is no real editing layer, and it shows in the output.

Things that are missing:

  • Transitions and proper cut timing (currently cuts are mechanical)
  • Cutting footage to the beat of the narration instead of fixed durations
  • Burned-in captions / subtitles
  • Zoom and pan (Ken Burns) on static footage
  • B-roll placement driven by what the script is actually saying

This is the single biggest quality gap in the project. If you have edited video before — even non-programmatically — your opinion on what makes automated edits look cheap is as valuable as the code.

Happy to discuss approach in the issue before anyone writes anything.
