69
- - **WHY:** Too many scenes = impractical to produce. Each scene needs sourcing.
70
- - **COMBINE shots** for similar content instead of creating new scenes every 5 seconds.
71
- - **SMART SOURCING PROTOCOL:**
72
- - **For SPECIFIC Evidence** (graphs, tweets, documents, interviews):
73
- - Use `google_web_search` to find the EXACT URLs
74
- - Tag as: `[Source: URL]`
75
- - **For GENERIC B-Roll** (city skylines, hands typing, crowds):
76
- - Do NOT waste time searching - these are easily available
77
- - Tag as: `[MANUAL]` - Human will source from stock libraries
78
- - **For STOCK FOOTAGE** (professional cinematography, aerial shots):
79
- - Tag as: `[STOCK-MANUAL]` - Scavenger will check free sources first
80
- - Pexels/Pixabay/Unsplash have free alternatives
81
-
82
- - **For NEWS ARTICLE SCREENSHOTS (INTELLIGENT CAPTURE):**
83
- - **DO NOT use hardcoded phrases like "PM Modi said"**
84
- - **INTELLIGENTLY identify** what's important based on the TOPIC:
85
-
86
- **Step 1: Understand the Topic Context**
87
- - Read the narrative_script.md and truth_dossier.md
88
- - Identify: What is this video about?
89
- - Bus accident? → Capture: casualty numbers, rescue details, victim stories
90
- - Money laundering? → Capture: ED raid details, amounts, accused names
91
- - Electoral bonds? → Capture: donation amounts, company names, quid pro quo evidence
92
- - Politician scandal? → Capture: allegations, responses, court proceedings
93
-
94
- **Step 2: Identify KEY INFORMATION from the Article**
95
- - For each news article URL, ask yourself:
96
- - What is the MOST IMPORTANT paragraph for the viewer?
97
- - What PROVES the point we're making in the script?
98
- - What would make the viewer say "wow, this is real evidence"?
99
-
100
- **Examples by Topic:**
101
- | Topic | What to Capture |
102
- |-------|-----------------|
103
- | Bus Accident | "10 passengers died", "driver was unlicensed", "no fire safety" |
104
- | Money Laundering | "₹500 crore seized", "ED arrested CFO", "shell company network" |
105
- | Electoral Bonds | "donated ₹100 crore after raid", "company got contract worth ₹2000 crore" |
106
- | Law & Order | "court said", "FIR registered", "police investigation found" |
107
- | Victim Story | Names, ages, what happened to them, their quotes |
108
-
109
- **Step 3: Use article_screenshotter.py with the RELEVANT text:**
110
- ```
111
- python {video_nut_root}/tools/downloaders/article_screenshotter.py --url "{ARTICLE_URL}" --quote "{RELEVANT_TEXT_FROM_ARTICLE}" --output "{output}/quote.png"
112
- ```
113
- - The tool will find that text on the page and highlight it in yellow
114
- - **The quote parameter should be the MOST IMPORTANT line from that article for your video**
115
-
116
- **Step 4: Tag in manifest:**
117
- - Tag as: `[Source: ARTICLE_URL] [Screenshot-Quote: "{relevant text}"]`
118
-
119
- - **For YouTube Video Clips (CRITICAL - Use Tools):**
120
- - **Step 1:** Search for relevant videos:
121
- ```
122
- python {video_nut_root}/tools/downloaders/youtube_search.py --query "{topic} interview" --max 5
123
- ```
124
- - **Step 2:** Verify content by checking transcript:
125
- ```
126
- python {video_nut_root}/tools/downloaders/caption_reader.py --url "{YOUTUBE_URL}" --search "{key quote}"
127
- ```
128
- - **Step 3:** Get exact clip timestamps:
129
- ```
130
- python {video_nut_root}/tools/downloaders/caption_reader.py --url "{YOUTUBE_URL}" --find-quote "{quote}" --json
131
- ```
132
- - Tag as: `[Source: YOUTUBE_URL] [Clip: 05:23-06:10]`
133
- - **ALWAYS include timestamp range for video clips!**
134
- - **Content Verification:** Ensure that the visual content matches the narrative requirements.
135
- 4. **TIMING ANNOTATIONS:**
136
- - Add estimated duration for each visual shot:
137
- - `[0:00 - 0:05]` Scene 1 - Hook visual
138
- - `[0:05 - 0:12]` Scene 2 - Context visual
139
- - This helps the human editor sync visuals with voice_script.md
140
- 5. **SAVE TWO FILES:**
141
- - **`{output_folder}/master_script.md`** - Combined Narration + Visual Directions (reference document)
142
- - Format: `[NARRATION: "..."] [VISUAL: Description. [Source: URL or MANUAL]]`
143
- - **`{output_folder}/video_direction.md`** - VISUALS ONLY (for video editing)
144
- - Format:
145
- ```
146
- ## Scene 1: Hook [0:00 - 0:05]
147
- **Visual:** Cracker explosion at night wedding
148
- **Source:** [MANUAL] - Stock footage
149
- **Mood:** Opulent, excessive, wasteful
150
- ---
151
- ## Scene 2: Contrast [0:05 - 0:12]
152
- **Visual:** Poverty in same constituency
153
- **Source:** https://example.com/poverty-image
154
- **Mood:** Stark, sad, human struggle
155
- ```
156
- - **NO NARRATION in video_direction.md** - Only timing, visuals, sources, and mood.

94
+ **Step 2: Identify KEY INFORMATION from the Article**
95
+ - For each news article URL, ask yourself:
96
+ - What is the MOST IMPORTANT paragraph for the viewer?
97
+ - What PROVES the point we're making in the script?
98
+ - What would make the viewer say "wow, this is real evidence"?
99
+
100
+ **Examples by Topic:**
101
+ | Topic | What to Capture |
102
+ |-------|-----------------|
103
+ | Bus Accident | "10 passengers died", "driver was unlicensed", "no fire safety" |
104
+ | Money Laundering | "₹500 crore seized", "ED arrested CFO", "shell company network" |
105
+ | Electoral Bonds | "donated ₹100 crore after raid", "company got contract worth ₹2000 crore" |
106
+ | Law & Order | "court said", "FIR registered", "police investigation found" |
107
+ | Victim Story | Names, ages, what happened to them, their quotes |
108
+
109
+ **Step 3: Use article_screenshotter.py with the RELEVANT text:**
110
+ ```
111
+ python {video_nut_root}/tools/downloaders/article_screenshotter.py --url "{ARTICLE_URL}" --quote "{RELEVANT_TEXT_FROM_ARTICLE}" --output "{output}/quote.png"
112
+ ```
113
+ - The tool will find that text on the page and highlight it in yellow
114
+ - **The quote parameter should be the MOST IMPORTANT line from that article for your video**
115
+
116
+ **Step 4: Tag in manifest:**
117
+ - Tag as: `[Source: ARTICLE_URL] [Screenshot-Quote: "{relevant text}"]`
118
+
119
+ - **For YouTube Video Clips (CRITICAL - Use Tools):**
120
+ - **Step 1:** Search for relevant videos:
121
+ ```
122
+ python {video_nut_root}/tools/downloaders/youtube_search.py --query "{topic} interview" --max 5
123
+ ```
124
+ - **Step 2:** Verify content by checking transcript:
125
+ ```
126
+ python {video_nut_root}/tools/downloaders/caption_reader.py --url "{YOUTUBE_URL}" --search "{key quote}"
127
+ ```
128
+ - **Step 3:** Get exact clip timestamps:
129
+ ```
130
+ python {video_nut_root}/tools/downloaders/caption_reader.py --url "{YOUTUBE_URL}" --find-quote "{quote}" --json
131
+ ```
132
+ - Tag as: `[Source: YOUTUBE_URL] [Clip: 05:23-06:10]`
133
+ - **ALWAYS include timestamp range for video clips!**
134
+ - **Content Verification:** Ensure that the visual content matches the narrative requirements.
135
+ 4. **TIMING ANNOTATIONS:**
136
+ - Add estimated duration for each visual shot:
137
+ - `[0:00 - 0:05]` Scene 1 - Hook visual
138
+ - `[0:05 - 0:12]` Scene 2 - Context visual
139
+ - This helps the human editor sync visuals with voice_script.md
140
+ 5. **SAVE TWO FILES:**
141
+ - **`{output_folder}/master_script.md`** - Combined Narration + Visual Directions (reference document)
142
+ - Format: `[NARRATION: "..."] [VISUAL: Description. [Source: URL or MANUAL]]`
143
+ - **`{output_folder}/video_direction.md`** - VISUALS ONLY (for video editing)
144
+ - Format:
145
+ ```
146
+ ## Scene 1: Hook [0:00 - 0:05]
147
+ **Visual:** Cracker explosion at night wedding
148
+ **Source:** [MANUAL] - Stock footage
149
+ **Mood:** Opulent, excessive, wasteful
150
+ ---
151
+ ## Scene 2: Contrast [0:05 - 0:12]
152
+ **Visual:** Poverty in same constituency
153
+ **Source:** https://example.com/poverty-image
154
+ **Mood:** Stark, sad, human struggle
155
+ ```
156
+ - **NO NARRATION in video_direction.md** - Only timing, visuals, sources, and mood.

169
+ <self-review>
170
+ After completing your visual script, BEFORE allowing user to proceed:
171
+
172
+ 1. **SELF-REVIEW**: Ask yourself:
173
+ - Are all evidence scenes sourced with real URLs?
174
+ - Did I find video clips with timestamps (not just screenshots)?
175
+ - Is there enough visual variety (scene changes every 5-7 seconds)?
176
+ - Are any URLs potentially broken or unreliable?
177
+ - Did I include YouTube interview clips for credibility?
178
+ - Are there scenes I couldn't find good sources for?
179
+
180

185
+ 2. No video clips found for {topic} - only screenshots
186
+ 3. Could we find an interview with {person}?
187
+ 4. Scene {Y} URL might be unreliable - need backup
188

189

190

191

192

193
+ 10. Missing timestamp for YouTube clip in Scene {Z}
