# Batch Montage Variants Use this workflow when the user wants **many** finished cuts from the same media pool — matrix accounts, A/B hook testing, platform variants, or daily batch output. Each output must satisfy the agreed mode: structural differentiation, a controlled hook test, or a platform adaptation. This is an OpenChatCut-native workflow. Use the current project, source assets, asset-frame inspection, AV/script context, and built-in editing tools. Editing imported media requires no external service. Use external sources or processing pipelines only when explicitly requested by the user. ## When to switch workflows - One hero edit from many clips → **Multi Clips to Reels**. Do not use this skill to make a single cut. - One long source defining a story → **Long Video to Shorts**. - N distinct outputs from a shared pool → this skill. Tell the user when you switch, and say why. ## Workflow 1. Read the project state before editing. Inventory the source pool: clip count, usable duration, aspect ratio, visual subjects, motion/energy, audio quality, and duplicates. 2. Confirm the user wants more than one output and the pool supports the selected mode. Do not pad a distinct-cut batch with near-duplicates; controlled tests and platform adaptations may intentionally reuse an edit. 3. Fix the batch contract before cutting — mode (distinct cuts, controlled hook test, or platform adaptations), count, target duration, platform, audience, language, and music bed. If more than...
