## Usage Scenarios

### Scenario 1

**User Input:** "I have a 60-second product demo script for a new coffee maker. Plan the B-roll shot list."

**Expected Output:** Timestamped shot list: 0:00-0:05 hero shot of product, 0:05-0:12 close-up water reservoir filling, 0:12-0:20 overhead pour, 0:20-0:35 steam/brewing macro, 0:35-0:50 lifestyle kitchen scene, 0:50-1:00 end-card with branding. Each shot includes framing notes and estimated clip duration.

### Scenario 2

**User Input:** "I shot 40 B-roll clips. Rate each by relevance to the script and pick the best 12 for a tight 45-second TikTok cut."

**Expected Output:** Relevance-ranked clip list. Top 12 selected with in/out timecodes. Gaps identified where coverage is thin—suggests 2 re-shoots.

### Scenario 3

**User Input:** "Convert my YouTube long-form B-roll plan into vertical 9:16 format for Shorts and Reels."

**Expected Output:** Reformatted shot list with cropping guidance, safe-zone notes, and alternative angle suggestions for shots that don't work in vertical.


### Scenario 4: 拍B-roll没素材
**User input:** "做视频（抖音/小红书/B站）需要补空镜但不知道怎么拍，每次用网上的素材又怕侵权。怎么自己拍出好看的B-roll？"
**Expected output:** 零基础B-roll拍摄指南——日常场景：手冲咖啡（俯拍水流变焦到液体）、键盘打字（侧拍手指+屏幕反光）、窗外风景（延时+变焦从远到近）；技巧：手机拍B-roll的"慢动作+特写"组合法（0.5x慢动作拍任何流体运动+特写拍材质纹理）；工具：在剪映搜"空镜素材"有很多可商用的免费素材包；拍摄清单：每次拍视频前写一份10-15个镜头的小卡片（环境广角3个+过程特写5个+结果收尾2个+人物状态5个）。关键：拍比选重要，自己拍的素材可以反复用在不同视频里。

## Safety & Limitations

B-roll planning is creative guidance. Users are responsible for footage rights (stock licensing, location releases, etc.). Does not provide or source actual footage.
