1. Frame the production goal
Capture audience, message, deliverables, formats, references, timing, and constraints. The brief becomes durable production state rather than a prompt that disappears after generation.
2. Research and plan
Agents can gather context, propose a concept, structure a script, and build a shot plan. Capability and provider selection happens after the intended result is clear.
3. Generate and compare
Create takes with the selected model path, keep lineage to inputs, and compare outputs before promoting a take into the edit.
4. Edit and finish
Assemble picture, motion, titles, captions, effects, color, dialogue, music, sound design, and loudness in the production editor.
5. Review, deliver, and recover
Review time-based outputs, address notes through semantic commands, produce the delivery target, and retain receipts and rollback evidence.
