# trailer-bridge — paid skill pack

> **Status:** scaffold — first 2 recipes shipping with v0.2.

This pack extends the free `film-editing` skill with **genre-specific trailer recipes**. Each recipe knows the pacing, structural beats, and emotional arc that audiences expect from a particular genre, and emits a parameterized cutlist Claude can drop straight into Premiere.

## Why a paid pack

The free skill encodes universal principles (Murch's Rule of Six). This pack encodes **specific working knowledge** that takes years to acquire:
- Pacing math per genre (action averages 1.8s/cut, drama 5.2s/cut)
- Standard 60/90/120-sec trailer structures
- Color grade presets (LUTs) that match festival expectations
- Genre-specific opening-hook patterns

## Recipes

| Recipe | Use for | Example structure |
|---|---|---|
| `action-trailer.md` | Genre features, sports, conflict-driven docs | Hook → Stakes → Build → 1st climax → False resolution → 2nd climax → Title |
| `drama-trailer.md` | Character pieces, art-house | Quote → Conflict → Reveal → Reaction → Title |
| `comedy-trailer.md` | Comedies, satire | Setup joke → Punchline → Bigger setup → Bigger punchline → Title |
| `horror-trailer.md` | Horror, thriller-with-genre-elements | Calm → Disturbance → False jump → Reveal → Title sting |
| `documentary-teaser.md` | Doc shorts, festival pieces | Question → Voices → World → Stakes → Open question → Title |
| `thriller-trailer.md` | Thrillers, neo-noir | Hook → Riddle → Tension build → Cliffhanger → Title |
| `romance-trailer.md` | Romance, coming-of-age | Meet → Connect → Conflict → Choice → Title |

## Tools

- `tools/trailer_assembly.py` — input: folder of selects + recipe name + target length → output: ready Premiere sequence cutlist (JSON) + JSX commands to apply.
- `tools/beat_detector.py` — analyzes audio for "trailer beats" (drops, swells, stings) — auto-aligns cuts to musical beats.

## Color presets (LUTs)

Three classic festival/streamer trailer looks:
- `teal_orange.cube` — modern blockbuster
- `desaturated_high_contrast.cube` — A24-style indie
- `golden_warm.cube` — character drama / romance

## How a user uses it

```
You:    "Use trailer-bridge for a 75-sec action trailer from these 24 selects.
        Apply teal_orange LUT. Skip the false-resolution beat — too short."
