**What it is (usual use):** 30–120s finished pieces—trailers, explainers, or scene excerpts—optimized for events and social channels.
# How we’ll adapt it (AI-augmented) - One-click pipeline from **Episode Brief → VO script → animatic → captioned short**, with human approvals at each gate. - Auto-generate **multilingual captions**, alt text, and source cards; bake in on-screen **citations** for scientific claims. - Maintain a **re-usable asset bank** (music cues, UI overlays, mission maps) so shorts stay stylistically coherent. - When real data drops, the system proposes **patch edits** (numbers, labels, VO lines) to keep published shorts current.
