Media can come from your project, a captured website, an upload, or a generated asset. Put anything required for the final result inside the project so preview and rendering use the same file. Each step adds one attribute on the left and shows the result on the right. The last one swaps the file entirely — everything else about the scene stays put.

​
Start with the role, not the effect

More layers do not automatically make a stronger video. If two assets do the same job, keep the clearer one.

​
Bring it into the project

In the browser editor, open Assets, choose Import media, or drop files into the panel. Preview the file before placing it on the timeline. You can also ask the agent to capture a website, prepare supplied footage, generate a derivative, or copy an approved file into the project. Use names such as pricing-page-scroll.mp4 or customer-logo.svg. Clear names make later revisions much easier for both people and agents.

​
Prepare only what the result needs

  • Trim or crop a source when the unused material slows down review.
  • Remove a background when the subject must sit over a designed scene.
  • Grade footage when sources visibly disagree or the story needs a deliberate look.
  • Generate captions from the real speech, then correct words and timing before styling them.
  • Keep narration clear above music and use effects only for specific events.
The original and prepared file should remain easy to distinguish.

​
Remember confirmed preferences

The media-use skill records confirmed choices in .media/preferences.json. Concurrent records preserve each choice, including confirmations that promote a preference to your personal defaults after use in two projects. Add .media/*.lock to the project’s .gitignore, while keeping preferences.json committed. If recording reports “Settings are locked…”, confirm that no HyperFrames process is recording preferences before deleting the named lock file and retrying. A locked personal tier leaves the project record intact and postpones personal promotion until a later record.

​
Check the final timeline

Watch once from beginning to end and check:
  • the first and last frame of every video clip;
  • crop and resolution at the intended output size;
  • caption timing against the spoken words;
  • voice clarity on ordinary headphones and laptop speakers;
  • missing files, temporary URLs, and late-loading media.

​
Reuse an approved recipe

Ask the agent to save an approved video’s design and storyboard as a named recipe for later projects. Saving the same name again creates a new version and archives the previous project version. If the new version has no BRIEF.md, importing that recipe into another project does not restore the older brief. The earlier brief remains available in the archived version.
