clean-cut

From the author

Step 1 of the AI Video Editor pipeline — turn raw talking-head footage into a clean master cut. Use when the user wants to "clean cut", "cut the raw footage", "remove filler / dead air / bad takes", "tighten the pacing", produce cuts.json, run the cut editor, or render a cleaned preview/master for a video-N project in this repo. Covers audio extraction, AssemblyAI transcription, authoring cuts.json (keeps/cuts/fluff categorized), the cut policy (content-aggressive, pause-natural ~0.5s), QA + review docs, the local cut-editor UI, tight/natural previews, the final 4K60 render, and producing edited-transcript.json as the handoff to /make-tsx. Not for building TSX overlays (that is /make-tsx) or the raw TSX authoring rules (that is vidtsx-2d-generator).
