lesson-cut

Cut a long recorded lesson, talk, tutorial or screencast down to a tight delivered video: a raw take of 30 to 90 minutes becomes a finished piece with every retake, repeated section, failed attempt, spoken "delete this" and stretch of dead air removed, captions burned in, and every check run before the render. Use this whenever a new take arrives to be edited ("here is the recording", "I'm exporting it now, edit it when it lands", a long .mov or .mp4 handed over), whenever a finished piece needs a re-cut, and whenever the job is to make a recording read as one clean take. Covers intake, transcription, the editorial read against the script, the cut list, captions, the pre-render gates, the render and the QC gate. Built for long landscape recordings, not short-form verticals: for a Reel or Short the CUTTING method transfers but the finishing does not, so read references/formats.md and start it with `lc init --profile reel-portrait`.
