Captions, brand, intro/outro — done before the post-show debrief.

Producers don't want a raw cut. They want a clip with burned-in captions, their brand mark in the corner, and a three-second sting that matches the rest of the channel.

When we shipped clip generation last quarter, the very next thing every customer asked for was the same thing in a different costume: "can you make it post-ready?" Not "give us editing tools." Just: arrive finished.

The polish layer is structured as a ladder. Captions on every plan — accessibility table stakes, never a paywall. Brand kit on PRO and above — your logo, your colours, an enforced look that the editor cannot break. Intro and outro templates on the higher tiers — templates compose with the brand kit, so the look flows through automatically.

A clip should leave the system finished. That is the point.

We deliberately did not build a multi-track editor inside the product. The customers who need that are better served by Premiere or DaVinci. The polish layer drops a clean MP4 into a watch folder; the rest of the pipeline takes it from there.
