Video Chapters and Highlights

Transcribe a video, generate chapter markers, and extract one approved highlight clip.

Required Aident Actions

• <action-tag>direct:fal:fal_speech_to_text</action-tag> (required inputs: inspect the current schema): Run an active Fal speech-to-text model. Defaults to fal-ai/speech-to-text/turbo. Call fal_list_speech_to_text_models before selecting another model to inspect current pricing, required fields, defaults, and model...
• <action-tag>direct:fal:fal_list_media_analysis_models</action-tag> (required inputs: inspect the current schema): List active Fal image and video understanding models with current platform-key pricing, descriptions, required inputs, defaults, choices, documentation links, and pagination cursors. Use this before fal_analyze_media...

Use Aident Loadout to read the current Action schema before constructing inputs. Check the required integration connection in Aident Vault. If an Action is billable or mutating, run Aident preflight, show the affecteAction · Analyze Mediait user confirmation before execution.

Workflow

1. Confirm the requested outcome, source material, destination, audience, constraints, and acceptance criteria.
2. Apply the source-derived guidance below to create a concrete plan. Resolve ambiguity before inAction · Trim Mp4Actions whose documented effect directly advances the requested outcome. Do not invoke every listed Action by default.
3. Inspect the current schema and prepare the minimum valid input for each selected Action.
4. Preflight each selected Action. Execute it only after any required confirmation, in dependency order, and carry returned IDs or asset URLs into later steps.
5. Verify the returned IDs, URLs, statuses, or artifacts against the acceptance criteria. Report partial completion precisely and do not repeat paid or mutating calls blindly.

Source-Derived Guidance

• Collect the video asset, destination format, minimum chapter spacing, and highlight-selection criteria.
• Use direct:fal:fal_speech_to_text to obtain the time-aligned spoken content.
• Use direct:fal:fal_list_media_analysis_models to select a current model that explicitly supports video input.
• Use direct:fal:fal_analyze_media to confirm visual transitions and refine chapter boundaries.
• Return ordered chapter markers with accurate timestamps and descriptive titles for review.
• After the user approves one range, use cli:ffmpeg:trim_mp4 to create the highlight and verify its start, duration, encoding, and playback.

Execution Boundaries

• Treat upstream provider-specific commands as background knowledge only. Execute the workflow through the exact Aident Actions above.
• Never request raw credentials in chat. Use Aident Vault connection flows for required accounts.
• Preserve user-provided wording, brand constraints, rights restrictions, and target identifiers. Do not invent authorization.
• Pass assets by Aident asset ID or supported URL fields. Do not expose caller-local filesystem paths to hosted Actions.
• Stop when a required integration is disconnected, preflight rejects the input, the target is ambiguous, or the user declines a required confirmation.

Output

Return the execution plan, selected Action names, confirmed targets, Aident result identifiers or asset URLs, verification evidence, and any remaining blocked step.
