# Create Vlog Script

Turn spoken ideas and available footage into a coherent, recordable story.

## Start with the story

- Transcribe and lightly polish voice notes without erasing the speaker's point of view.
- Establish a clear progression: lived memory or question, change or tension, concrete experience, reflection, and a personal resolution.
- Make transitions part of the narration on the following scene's slide. Do not isolate them into separate transition slides unless the user explicitly asks for title cards.
- Prefer one specific event or image over general claims. Let a personal observation lead into broader context rather than the reverse.

## Work from actual assets

- Inventory the supplied media folder and visually inspect representative frames before assigning a clip to narration. Do not infer a clip's subject from its filename.
- Rename original files only when the user asks, using concise, truthful, chronological names. Never label an ambiguous clip as a specific event or person without visual confirmation.
- Use real supplied photos, video previews, and article captures in a recording guide wherever possible. Use a clearly labeled placeholder only when an asset has not been supplied or cannot be used yet.
- Distinguish actual footage, screenshots, recreated graphics, and AI-generated concept images in both captions and narration. Never present a concept image as real data or documentary footage.
- For browser-unfriendly source media, use a verified preview or still in the guide and retain the original as the final editing source.

## Create a recording-slide guide

When the user wants to record narration, deliver an HTML slide guide rather than a document-only outline.

- Give each slide the likely final-video composition: a full-screen background or a clear media panel, narration large enough to read aloud, and a small on-screen editing cue.
- Support forward/back navigation by keyboard, click, and a visible slide counter. Include a full-screen shortcut.
- Put the full spoken text—including connective phrases—on the slide. The user should not need a separate script while recording.
- Place visual prompts near their corresponding narration: exact supplied asset, intended crop or hold, source article link, or an explicit placeholder.
- Keep the guide presentation-oriented: do not overload it with production notes that do not affect recording.

## Research and article captures

- For factual rule changes, history, or current sports information, use authoritative primary sources where possible.
- When an article is used as a visual, capture the headline and relevant explanatory body section—not navigation, ads, or unrelated promotion.
- Add a direct link in the slide guide and a short capture cue, such as where to pause or scroll. Confirm that the captured section supports the narration.

## Final recording review

Before handoff, inspect the slide order, narration, and asset-to-claim mapping.

- Verify that no asset is described as the wrong play, player, event, or outcome.
- Check transitions aloud: every slide should answer why the next slide follows.
- Remove duplicate ideas and move the strongest concise image or line to the ending.
- State only the user-facing result and link to the recording guide.
