+## Start with sound
+
+Browsers block audible autoplay unless the viewer has already interacted with
+the page. For a sound-first experience, keep the branded generation intro
+visible and let the player's start control provide that interaction:
+
+```tsx
+<VideoPlayer
+  {...video.playerProps}
+  playbackMode="autoplay-after-interaction"
+/>
+```
+
+The generation cover immediately includes a centered **Play with sound**
+button. A click starts the soundtrack and holds that branded cover as a
+three-second generation intro while planning continues. Once both the intro
+and the first validated scene are ready, the generated timeline begins from
+time zero. The generation intro remains visible indefinitely if the viewer has
+not clicked yet, even when the complete generated video is already ready. The
+server keeps the generated first scene on screen for at least three more
+seconds when the duration budget permits. After that first successful sound start,
+replacement streams on the same mounted player autoplay the same generation
+intro with sound and fall back to a start control if the browser blocks them.
+
+When `VideoInput.opening` is supplied, its asset-free gradient `media` scene
+replaces the generic generation cover as soon as it is available. It remains
+as the static start poster until the viewer clicks, then begins the actual
+timeline with sound; there is no additional generic pre-roll before it.
+
+Use `playbackMode="manual"` to require the button on every run,
+`playbackMode="muted-autoplay"` for browser-safe muted autoplay, or
+`playbackMode="autoplay-with-sound"` to try audible autoplay immediately. The
+lower-level `autoPlay` and `startMuted` props remain available when no playback
+mode is set.

 ## Media providers
 
-VanillaSky is provider-independent. Resolve image or video searches in your

-it does not call a stock-media provider or turn `mediaKeyword` into a URL.
+VanillaSky is provider-independent. When `resolveMedia` is configured, the
+built-in planner may emit a bounded semantic query for later media-capable
+scenes. The SDK calls the application-owned resolver on the server, replaces
+the query with the approved URL, type, and optional poster, then validates the
+scene before emitting it. Without the callback, media intent stays hidden from
+the planner. The first accepted generated scene remains asset-free.
+
+```ts
+import { createVideoHandler } from "@vanillaskyai/video/server";
+
+createVideoHandler({
+  authorize: checkSession,
+  streamText: planWithYourModel,
+  resolveMedia: async (query, { preferredType, signal }) => {
+    const asset = await searchYourApprovedCatalog({ query, preferredType, signal });
+    return asset
+      ? { url: asset.url, type: asset.type, posterUrl: asset.posterUrl }
+      : null;
+  },
+});
+```
+
+The resolver query is 2–80 characters and at most eight words. Return `null`
+when no licensed, safe, relevant asset exists; media-capable templates fall
+back to the brand gradient when their schema permits it. The browser never
+receives `mediaKeyword`, provider keys, or raw provider metadata.
 
 `allowMediaUrl` is an authorization hook for applications with their own custom
 stream adapter. It validates a final URL; it does not search for, fetch, or
 resolve media. The default 0.1 path needs no callback because every planner URL
 must already be present in `suppliedMedia`.

+## Planning effort and reasoning modes
+
+Planning is a structured emit against a trusted catalog, not a reasoning task.
+Where a provider exposes a reasoning or effort control, a host that wants a
+video to start quickly should turn extended reasoning off and keep effort low
+to moderate. The default matters: several current models reason by default, and
+that reasoning happens before the first plan part is emitted, so it is added
+directly to time to first generated scene.
+
+With the Vercel AI SDK and a current Anthropic model, that is one option object:
+
+```ts
+streamText: ({ systemPrompt, userPrompt, signal }) => streamText({
+  model,
+  system: systemPrompt,
+  prompt: userPrompt,
+  abortSignal: signal,
+  providerOptions: {
+    anthropic: { thinking: { type: "disabled" }, effort: "medium" },
+  },
+}),
+```
+
+Measured on one grounded chat answer with the 28 built-in templates, leaving
+the Anthropic default in place cost roughly twenty seconds before the first
+scene; disabling reasoning brought the same plan to a few seconds. Other
+providers expose equivalent controls under their own names. Treat the exact
+values as host-owned tuning: the lowest effort setting is the fastest, but a
+weaker plan misses schema limits more often, which shows up as rejected scenes
+in `onComplete`. Compare `timeToFirstSceneMs` and `rejectedSceneCount` across
+settings before fixing one.
+
+VanillaSky never sets these controls. Provider selection, sampling parameters,
+and credentials stay with the application.
