+# Unicode APIs by language
+
+## Python
+
+```python
+import unicodedata, regex          # pip install regex (the stdlib re has no \X or \p{Script})
+s = unicodedata.normalize("NFC", s)
+key = unicodedata.normalize("NFKC", s).casefold()
+
+graphemes = regex.findall(r"\X", s)
+def truncate(s, n):                # n user-visible characters
+    return "".join(regex.findall(r"\X", s)[:n])
+
+is_bengali = bool(regex.search(r"\p{Script=Bengali}", s))
+words = regex.findall(r"[\p{L}\p{M}\p{N}]+", s)   # keeps vowel signs and virama with their letters
+```
+
+PyICU (`pip install PyICU`, needs the ICU C library):
+
+```python
+import icu
+coll = icu.Collator.createInstance(icu.Locale("bn"))
+coll.setStrength(icu.Collator.SECONDARY)
+names.sort(key=coll.getSortKey)
+
+bi = icu.BreakIterator.createWordInstance(icu.Locale("th"))
+bi.setText(text)
+u = icu.UnicodeString(text)                         # offsets below are UTF-16 code units
+bounds = list(bi)                                   # end offsets of each segment
+start, tokens = 0, []
+for end in bounds:
+    tokens.append(str(u[start:end])); start = end
+```
+
+Note: PyICU offsets are UTF-16 code units; for text outside the BMP (emoji, some CJK extension characters) slice `icu.UnicodeString(text)` with the offsets and convert each piece with `str()`, instead of slicing the Python string.
+
+`unicodedata` follows the Unicode version of the Python release (`unicodedata.unidata_version`); grapheme rules in the `regex` package follow its own bundled version.
+
+## JavaScript (Node 16+ and modern browsers)
+
+```js
+s = s.normalize('NFC');
+const key = s.normalize('NFKC').toLowerCase();       // JS has no full case fold; toLowerCase is close but not identical
+
+const graphemes = [...new Intl.Segmenter(undefined, { granularity: 'grapheme' }).segment(s)].map(x => x.segment);
+const words = [...new Intl.Segmenter('th', { granularity: 'word' }).segment(text)]
+  .filter(x => x.isWordLike).map(x => x.segment);
+
+const coll = new Intl.Collator('bn', { sensitivity: 'base' });   // base | accent | case | variant
+names.sort(coll.compare);
+coll.compare(a, b) === 0;                                         // collation-equal
+
+/\p{Script=Devanagari}/u.test(s);
+/\p{Script_Extensions=Arabic}/u.test(s);
+```
+
+`s.length` counts UTF-16 code units; `[...s].length` counts code points; neither counts graphemes.
+
+## Java
+
+```java
+String nfc = java.text.Normalizer.normalize(s, java.text.Normalizer.Form.NFC);
+java.text.Collator coll = java.text.Collator.getInstance(java.util.Locale.forLanguageTag("bn"));
+coll.setStrength(java.text.Collator.SECONDARY);
+java.text.BreakIterator words = java.text.BreakIterator.getWordInstance(java.util.Locale.forLanguageTag("th"));
+```
+
+ICU4J (`com.ibm.icu`) has more complete and up-to-date segmentation, collation and `SpoofChecker` than `java.text`; prefer it for non-trivial work.
+
+## Go and Rust
+
+- Go: `golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm`, `golang.org/x/text/collate`, `github.com/rivo/uniseg` for graphemes.
+- Rust: `unicode-normalization`, `unicode-segmentation` (graphemes and words, no dictionary segmentation for Thai), `icu` (ICU4X) for collation and dictionary-based segmentation.
+
+## PostgreSQL
+
+```sql
+CREATE COLLATION bn_icu (provider = icu, locale = 'bn-BD');
+CREATE COLLATION ci_ai (provider = icu, locale = 'und-u-ks-level1', deterministic = false);  -- case- and accent-insensitive equality
+SELECT name FROM people ORDER BY name COLLATE bn_icu;
+CREATE INDEX people_name_bn ON people (name COLLATE bn_icu);
+SELECT normalize(name, NFC) FROM people;          -- PostgreSQL 13+, needs a UTF8 database
+```
+
+Nondeterministic collations do not support `LIKE` in older PostgreSQL versions; check the docs for the installed version.
+
+## Elasticsearch / OpenSearch
+
+The `analysis-icu` plugin provides `icu_normalizer`, `icu_folding`, `icu_tokenizer` (dictionary-based for Thai, Lao, Khmer, Burmese, CJK) and `icu_collation_keyword`.

+# Script-specific pitfalls
+
+Check each against real samples from the user's data; spelling conventions vary by country and publisher.
+
+## Bengali (Beng)
+
+- Conjuncts are formed with virama (hasanta, U+09CD): `ক` + `্` + `ষ` = `ক্ষ`. Never strip U+09CD as "punctuation".
+- Khanda ta: the atomic U+09CE `ৎ` and the older sequence `ত` + `্` + ZWJ may both appear in legacy data; normalization does not unify them. Decide on a search folding with the user.
+- Ya-phala and ra-phala are virama sequences; the reph form also comes from virama ordering. Text that renders "wrong" is usually a font or shaping problem, not bad data.
+- Two-part vowel signs (`ো` U+09CB, `ৌ` U+09CC) have canonical decompositions into `ে` + `া` / `ে` + `ৗ`; NFC composes them, so normalize before comparing.
+- Bengali digits ০-৯ (U+09E6 to U+09EF) are `\p{Nd}`; `int()` in Python accepts them, many other parsers do not.
+- The same script writes Assamese, which uses `ৰ` (U+09F0) and `ৱ` (U+09F1).
+
+## Devanagari (Deva)
+
+- Nukta letters U+0958 to U+095F (for example `क़`) are composition exclusions: NFC turns them into base + nukta (U+093C) and never back. Compare after normalization.
+- ZWJ and ZWNJ after virama select half forms or explicit virama; they carry meaning in Marathi and Nepali spelling.
+- Danda `।` (U+0964) and double danda `॥` (U+0965) are sentence punctuation; sentence splitters must know them.
+
+## Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam
+
+- Malayalam chillu letters (U+0D7A to U+0D7F) and the older virama plus ZWJ sequences can both appear; plan a folding for search.
+- Tamil `ஸ்ரீ` (shri) is several code points; count it as graphemes, not code points.
+
+## Arabic, Persian, Urdu (Arab)
+
+- Right-to-left; see the bidi section of `SKILL.md`.
+- Tatweel (U+0640) is decorative elongation; remove it in search keys.
+- Harakat (short-vowel marks, U+064B to U+0652) are usually optional; strip for search keys only.
+- Alef variants (`أ إ آ ا`), teh marbuta (`ة`) vs heh (`ه`), alef maksura (`ى`) vs yeh (`ي`): common search foldings, but each loses distinctions. Persian uses `ی` (U+06CC) and `ک` (U+06A9) where Arabic uses `ي` and `ك`; fold these for cross-input search.
+- Arabic presentation forms (U+FB50 to U+FDFF, U+FE70 to U+FEFF) come from bad PDF extraction; NFKC maps them back to base letters.
+- Arabic-Indic digits (U+0660 to U+0669) and Extended Arabic-Indic digits (U+06F0 to U+06F9) differ; parse both.
+
+## Hebrew (Hebr)
+
+- Niqqud (vowel points) and cantillation marks are combining marks; strip for search keys only.
+
+## Thai, Lao, Khmer, Burmese
+
+- No spaces between words; use dictionary-based segmentation (ICU word break).
+- Thai has no case and uses combining vowel and tone marks above and below; grapheme clustering keeps them with the consonant.
+- Burmese text may be in the non-standard Zawgyi encoding rather than Unicode; it uses the same code points with different meanings. Detect it (for example with Google's myanmar-tools detector) before processing and convert with ICU's Zawgyi transliterator.
+
+## Chinese, Japanese, Korean
+
+- Full-width forms (`ＡＢＣ１２３`) and half-width katakana fold with NFKC.
+- Han unification: the same code point renders differently in Chinese and Japanese fonts; set `lang` on HTML so the right font is used.
+- Traditional and Simplified Chinese are different characters; conversion needs a dictionary (for example OpenCC), not normalization.
+- Japanese search usually needs a morphological analyzer or n-grams; Korean Hangul syllables decompose under NFD into jamo, so normalize both sides to NFC.
+- Text beyond the BMP (CJK Extension B onwards, emoji) is two UTF-16 code units; JavaScript `length` and Java `String.length()` count it as 2.

Use when someone hands you interviews, B-roll or screen footage and wants a finished video, asks to tighten a rough cut, wants subtitles and levels fixed before delivery, or needs a timeline assembled or rendered from a script.

+# Video editing
+
+Edit like an editor, not like a transcoder: decide what the piece says, choose the moments that say it, then make the cuts invisible. Keep every decision in an edit decision list (EDL) so the cut can be re-rendered, reviewed and changed. Single FFmpeg command recipes live in the `ffmpeg-media-processing` skill; this skill is about the edit.
+
+## 0. Brief first
+
+Before touching footage, get answers (ask the user for any that are missing):
+
+1. **Purpose and audience**: what should a viewer know or feel at the end?
+2. **Target length** and **delivery**: platform, aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16, 1:1), resolution, frame rate, captions burned in or as a sidecar file.
+3. **Reference**: a link or file whose pacing or look the user wants matched.
+4. **Must-haves and no-gos**: quotes that must stay, people or logos that must not appear, music licence.
+
+Never use music, footage or fonts the user has not confirmed they have rights to.
+
+## 1. Ingest and log
+
+1. Copy the camera originals to a read-only `source/` folder. Never edit or re-encode originals in place.
+2. Probe every clip: `ffprobe -v error -show_entries stream=codec_name,width,height,r_frame_rate,sample_rate,channels -show_entries format=duration -of json <clip>`. Flag mixed frame rates (for example 23.976 and 29.97) and variable frame rate phone footage now; they cause drift later.
+3. For VFR or long-GOP clips that will be cut a lot, make constant-frame-rate intermediates (`references/ffmpeg-edit-recipes.md`, "Proxies and intermediates").
+4. Transcribe speech (with the user's approval of the tool) to timestamped text. Spoken footage is edited from the transcript.
+5. Write a log, one row per clip: file, duration, content, usable ranges, quality notes (focus, noise, wind), best moments. Format in `references/edl-and-logging.md`.
+
+## 2. Selects and paper edit
+
+1. Mark selects: in and out timecodes of every moment worth keeping, with a one-line reason.
+2. Build a **paper edit**: the story order as a list of selects, before any rendering. Structure: hook (first 3 to 5 seconds), context, body in clear beats, payoff, call to action if any.
+3. Estimate running time from the list. If it is more than about 20% over target, cut whole beats now rather than trimming everything.
+4. **Stop and show the user the paper edit** for anything longer than a minute or with interview content. Changing a list is cheap; re-cutting is not.
+
+## 3. Rough cut
+
+Assemble the selects in order from the EDL with straight cuts and no polish. Render a low-resolution review copy with burned-in timecode (recipe in `references/ffmpeg-edit-recipes.md`) so feedback can cite exact times.
+
+Check: does it make sense with no music, titles or effects? If not, fix structure before moving on.
+
+## 4. Fine cut
+
+Work through these in order:
+
+1. **Trim**: remove ums, false starts, repeated points and dead air at clip heads and tails. Cut on the breath, not mid-word; leave 2 to 6 frames of room after the last syllable.
+2. **Pacing**: vary shot length; hold on what matters, move fast through what does not. Cut on action or a look; avoid jump cuts in an interview unless the style calls for them, otherwise cover them with B-roll.
+3. **J and L cuts**: let audio lead (J) or trail (L) the picture across a cut so speech flows.
+4. **B-roll**: cover edits and illustrate what is being said; never let B-roll contradict the words.
+5. **Match a reference**: measure the reference before imitating it (`references/ffmpeg-edit-recipes.md`, "Measure a reference"): average shot length, cuts per minute, text style, music level. Report the numbers next to yours.
+
+## 5. Sound
+
+1. Dialogue is king. Clean it first (noise reduction, high-pass around 80 Hz for voice), then set music under it.
+2. Duck music under speech by roughly 10 to 20 dB.
+3. Normalise the final mix to the delivery spec with a two-pass loudness measurement (`references/ffmpeg-edit-recipes.md`, "Loudness"). Common targets: EBU R128 broadcast -23 LUFS integrated; many streaming and social platforms normalise near -14 LUFS; keep true peak at or below -1 dBTP. Confirm the user's platform spec rather than assuming.
+4. Listen to every cut for pops; add short audio crossfades (a few frames) at each edit.
+
+## 6. Colour
+
+1. Correct before you grade: white balance, exposure, contrast, so shots of the same scene match.
+2. Then apply one look consistently. A LUT designed for a camera log profile goes on log footage only.
+3. Check skin tones and that nothing is clipped. Do not grade on an uncalibrated laptop screen and call it final; tell the user.
+
+## 7. Captions and subtitles
+
+1. Start from the transcript, corrected by hand against the final cut, not the raw footage.
+2. Write SRT or WebVTT timed to the final timeline. Rules of thumb (check the platform's style guide): at most 2 lines, about 42 characters per line, reading speed around 17 to 20 characters per second, minimum about 1 second on screen, break lines at phrase boundaries.
+3. Sidecar files keep captions accessible and editable; burn in only when the platform needs it (many social feeds autoplay muted). See `references/ffmpeg-edit-recipes.md`, "Subtitles".
+4. Re-time captions after every picture change.
+
+## 8. Conform and render
+
+- **FFmpeg path**: generate the render from the EDL (trim and concat, then the audio chain, then subtitles). Recipes in `references/ffmpeg-edit-recipes.md`.
+- **DaVinci Resolve path**: build the timeline, import an EDL, FCPXML or AAF, set render settings and queue the job from Python. API calls in `references/resolve-scripting.md`.
+- Render a master (high bitrate or mezzanine codec) and derive delivery files from it; never re-encode a delivery file to make another.
+
+## 9. QC before delivery
+
+Watch the whole render once, start to finish, then check:
+
+- [ ] Duration, resolution, frame rate and aspect ratio match the brief (probe the file).
+- [ ] No black frames, flash frames or frozen frames at cut points (`blackdetect`, `freezedetect` in the recipes).
+- [ ] Audio in sync at the start, middle and end; loudness measured on the final file.
+- [ ] Captions match the words and timing; names spelled correctly.
+- [ ] Nothing from the no-go list appears.
+
+## Never
+
+- Never alter source files or delete footage the user has not approved deleting.
+- Never invent quotes or re-order an interviewee's words so the meaning changes. Flag any edit that compresses what someone said.
+- Never deliver without watching the final render.
+
+## Report back

+
+Constant frame rate, all-intra, easy to cut:

+```bash
+ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf "fps=25,scale=-2:1080" -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 1 -c:a pcm_s16le -ar 48000 inter.mov

+```
+
+## Trim one event frame-accurately
+
+Re-encode when cutting long-GOP sources; `-c copy` cuts on keyframes only.
+
+```bash
+ffmpeg -ss 75.20 -i source/A001_C003.mov -t 6.84 -c:v libx264 -crf 16 -preset slow -c:a pcm_s16le -ar 48000 seg001.mov
+```
+
+## Join events
+
+After all segments share codec, resolution, frame rate and audio layout:
+
+```bash
+printf "file '%s'\n" seg001.mov seg002.mov > list.txt
+ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i list.txt -c copy assembled.mov
+```
+
+For short cross-dissolves, use `xfade` (video) and `acrossfade` (audio) in a filter graph instead of the concat demuxer.
+
+## Burned-in timecode for review copies
+
+```bash
+ffmpeg -i assembled.mov -vf "drawtext=timecode='00\:00\:00\:00':rate=25:fontsize=36:fontcolor=white:box=1:boxcolor=black@0.5:x=20:y=h-th-20" -c:v libx264 -crf 26 -c:a aac review.mp4
+```
+
+Some builds need `fontfile=/path/to/font.ttf` in `drawtext`.
+
+## Measure a reference
+
+Shot boundaries (scene score above 0.3 is a common starting threshold; tune per footage):
+
+```bash
+ffmpeg -i reference.mp4 -vf "select='gt(scene,0.3)',showinfo" -f null - 2>&1 | grep -o "pts_time:[0-9.]*"
+```
+
+Cuts per minute = number of boundaries / duration in minutes. Average shot length = duration / (boundaries + 1). Measure loudness of the reference the same way as your mix (below).
+
+## Loudness (two-pass loudnorm)
+
+```bash
+# pass 1: measure

+# DaVinci Resolve scripting (Python)
+
+The authoritative reference is the README shipped with Resolve (Help > Documentation > Developer, `Scripting/README.txt`). Method names and supported export formats change between versions; check that file for the installed version before relying on a call below.
+
+## Setup
+
+- Resolve must be running. Scripting access (local or network) is set in Preferences > System > General > External scripting using.
+- External scripts need the environment the README describes, typically `RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API`, `RESOLVE_SCRIPT_LIB` and `PYTHONPATH` pointing at the bundled `Modules` folder.
+- Which features need the paid Studio edition varies by version; check the README and tell the user if a call fails for that reason.
+
+## Common calls
+
+```python
+import time
+import DaVinciResolveScript as dvr
+
+resolve = dvr.scriptapp("Resolve")
+pm = resolve.GetProjectManager()
+project = pm.GetCurrentProject() or pm.CreateProject("my_cut")
+media_pool = project.GetMediaPool()
+
+clips = media_pool.ImportMedia(["/abs/source/A001_C003.mov", "/abs/source/B012.mov"])
+timeline = media_pool.CreateEmptyTimeline("my_cut_v1")
+project.SetCurrentTimeline(timeline)
+
+# Append sub-clips by source frame range
+media_pool.AppendToTimeline([
+    {"mediaPoolItem": clips[0], "startFrame": 1880, "endFrame": 2051},
+    {"mediaPoolItem": clips[1], "startFrame": 75, "endFrame": 162},
+])
+
+# Or import a whole timeline from an EDL / FCPXML / AAF
+media_pool.ImportTimelineFromFile("/abs/edl/my_cut_v3.fcpxml")
+
+# Export the timeline for review or hand-off
+timeline.Export("/abs/out/my_cut_v3.edl", resolve.EXPORT_EDL, resolve.EXPORT_NONE)
+
+# Render
+resolve.OpenPage("deliver")
+project.LoadRenderPreset("H.264 Master")  # a preset that exists on this machine
+project.SetRenderSettings({"TargetDir": "/abs/out", "CustomName": "my_cut_v3"})
+job_id = project.AddRenderJob()
+project.StartRendering(job_id)
+while project.IsRenderingInProgress():
+    time.sleep(2)
+```
+
+## Rules
+
+- Check every return value: most calls return `None` or `False` on failure without raising.
+- Use absolute paths.
+- Never delete media pool items, timelines or projects the script did not create.
+- Save the project (`pm.SaveProject()`) before and after a scripted change.
