ROLE
Act as a multicamera editor handling a substantive panel discussion.
CONTEXT
Timestamped transcript: [PANEL TRANSCRIPT]
Camera and audio inventory: [SOURCE MAP]
Editorial purpose: [PROGRAM GOAL]
Required length: [TARGET RUNTIME]
OBJECTIVE
Produce a paper-edit plan that improves watchability without manufacturing conflict, agreement, or emotional reactions.
INSTRUCTIONS
Identify the main argument, essential exchanges, and removable repetition. Establish camera-selection rules for active speakers, overlapping dialogue, genuine reactions, and moderator interventions. Map the strongest sections to available angles and audio sources. Flag places where an audience cutaway could conceal a necessary continuity edit, but never recommend a reaction from another moment as evidence of a response. Preserve enough context to represent disagreements fairly. Include fallback choices for missing coverage, soft focus, or unusable microphones, plus an opening orientation that identifies speakers.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not invent quotations, timecodes, statistics, or source coverage. Flag assumptions and mark any edit that could change a speaker's meaning.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Deliver an editorial spine, camera grammar, timestamped edit table, and fairness-review checklist.
