video-edl-planner — Traditional AI Model
Video EDL Planner searches every legal cut position and every candidate 9:16 window inside a take, then keeps the one where the subject is genuinely visible — scored at delivery resolution, not guessed.

Inputs & Outputs
- TakesInputsegments
Candidate takes to plan inside — from Video Analysis, or any other source. Which moments to use is decided here, not by the planner.
- ConstraintsInputstringoptional
Optional Video Constraint Map output. Without it every shot is centred, because a window position chosen with nothing measured is a guess.
- PlanOutputstring
An EDL document for the Video EDL node: the chosen cut, window and camera move per take, with what each scored
Parameters
- target_len_secfloatdefault 45range 15–120
How long the finished short may run. The plan comes in under this, and falls short of it when the takes cannot supply the footage.
Upper bound on the finished length in seconds. Together with tempo it sets the cut count: roughly length divided by the tempo's shot length. When the takes hold less footage than that, the plan keeps the tempo and comes out shorter, rather than stretching shots to fill the time.
- tempostringdefault A little fasteroptions: Original, A little faster, Much faster
How fast the short cuts. This changes the number of cuts as well as their length.
Cutting rhythm. Measured from two reference shorts at opposite ends: a mukbang one that alternates (17 cuts in 55s, median shot 2.7s) and a pet one that dwells (median 6.7s). 'Original' dwells, 'Much faster' alternates, 'A little faster' (default) sits between. A faster tempo also changes the camera: fast plans accent each cut with a punch, slow ones glide.
- emphasisstringdefault
Where the interesting part is, e.g. "0:55~3:20". Takes inside it get more of the running time.
Optional time range weighting, written the way a person would: "0:55~3:20", "55~200", or several separated by commas. Takes falling inside get a larger share of the length; a take straddling the edge lands in between. Anything unreadable is ignored rather than guessed at.
- step_secfloatdefault 0.25range 0.1–2advanced
How finely candidate cut positions are searched inside each take. Smaller finds better cuts and costs more arithmetic.
Spacing of candidate start times within a take. Every candidate is scored at every window position, so halving this doubles the search. 0.25s is what the reference optimiser used.
