Explaining
Explaining
5 topics × 10 subjects video-explainer arc. Janet narrates animated cards + D3.js / Cytoscape.js graphics over a Remotion → HeyGen → DaVinci Resolve pipeline. Scripts only here; rendering downstream.
Stage 1–6 pipeline
Script (here) → Claude Design bundle → Remotion B-roll → HeyGen narration → DaVinci Resolve composition → S3 publish.
Script
Stage 1 — Script. Janet narration with per-beat timing, card cues, and graphic specs, authored here as scripts/<topic>/<n.m>-<slug>/long/script.md. Every claim is anchored to a repo file; the public-messaging floor applies (concede-and-preempt legal voice, synthetic Doe v. Acme demos only). 19/50 subjects scripted.
Claude Design
Stage 2 — Claude Design bundle. Per-video design.md prompts drive the G1–G7 card + B-roll component set under artifacts/<slug>/. Reads brand tokens from rendering/ — no hex literals in rendering code. 19/50 subjects have a design bundle.
HeyGen
Stage 4 — HeyGen narration. Janet (locked Avatar-V voice) reads each beat as a 9:16 take with mandatory silence handles. Fires only after the Stage-3 b-roll gate lifts (b-roll-first, 2026-07-11). 11/50 subjects have recorded takes on disk.
Remotion
Stage 3 — Remotion B-roll. React + brand-token compositions (plus a Blender plate lane where declared) render to ProRes 4444 cue clips anchored to markers.csv word boundaries. Under the b-roll-first gate the full comp set is authored and visually quality-gated before any narration take fires.
DaVinci Resolve
Stage 5 — DaVinci Resolve composition. Off-Resolve PIP decoration, segmented caption bake, and loudness normalization compose the take, B-roll, and captions into a finished master, driven by the per-episode phase{0..9}_*.py scripts over the resolving/ wrapper. 10/50 subjects have rendered cuts.
S3 / CloudFront
Stage 6 — Publish. Finished masters upload to s3://qagents-videos/<topic>/ and serve immutably from videos.quantapix.com via CloudFront. explaining/ is NOT_YET_LIVE as a status surface — its runtime is the downstream CDN.
