The Blueprint on a live teardown - Coinbase 'Break The Cycle' (80 scenes at 79.8/minute).
How it is sampled
Frame sampling adapts to the video’s length, so fast-cut teasers and long-form videos both get sensible coverage:
When the system detects montage-grade cut density, it samples denser still, so a 20-second teaser cutting every half-second does not lose half its shots.

What to do with it
- Treat the shot mix as evidence. If the reference runs 60% tight talking-head and 30% product screen, write your scenes into those slots.
- Read
scenes_per_minuteagainst your own edit. A 3x pacing gap often explains a retention gap better than the script does. - Use
text_overlay_frequencyto decide your caption strategy. At 30% or higher, text is structural, not decorative. - Hand
color_mood_boardto whoever grades or generates your visuals. It keeps your new work in a related visual family without borrowing the original footage.
