# Finish and Package a Video

Use the connected LazyReel MCP server. Begin read-only and separate findings from fixes.

## Final pass

1. Inspect the project, timeline, sample frames, captions, visual layers, and audio coverage.
2. Review the opening, pacing, visual continuity, crop, caption readability, brand consistency, music, SFX, fades, voice clarity, and ending.
3. Report prioritized findings. Ask before changing anything unless the user already requested fixes.
4. Apply approved corrections as one reviewable plan and verify the affected boundaries again.

## Export and package

1. Read export capabilities and current entitlement.
2. Propose resolution, frame rate, quality, aspect, caption treatment, and destination for each requested variant.
3. Export only to a user-approved destination. Track the job until LazyReel reports success or a clear failure.
4. Prepare titles, descriptions, chapters, tags, thumbnail concepts, and platform copy from the final project, not from an earlier draft.
5. Keep claims accurate. Do not invent direct posting support; use `prepare_external_publish` only to assemble approved assets and metadata for handoff.

Never call an export complete based only on job creation. Verify the finished job and report the actual output details LazyReel provides.

Suggested first request: “Review this finished edit for pacing, visual coverage, caption readability, audio gaps, and accidental music restarts. Give me findings first and do not change anything.”
