CHOOSE YOUR GATE
Review the right stage, not everything at once.
0. Raw Footage Gate — before editing
Fast brief-to-footage check. Goal is not a full QAQC report; it is a same-day two-state flag: READY FOR EDIT or RESHOOT NEEDED.
Backend v1 watches this folder and triggers on new uploads.
Backend target: Drive watcher → transcript/audio/frame pass → brief match → write READY FOR EDIT / RESHOOT NEEDED back to the SmartSuite Video Task before editors start.
Turnaround expectation
Best case2–5 min after upload for short clips with push/webhook + fast transcription.
Practical v15–12 min with 1–2 min Drive polling + queue.
Long clips10–25 min depending on duration, file size, and transcription queue.
Overnight batchNot recommended for shoot-day gap catching.
Run the raw-footage gate to produce a same-day edit/reshoot flag.
