Pipeline Overview
What happens while users wait for a project to move from topic to preview.
Pipeline stages
- Research and direction selection prepare the idea.
- Script, review, length check, TTS projection, and clip-moment selection prepare narration.
- Audio, prompts, visuals, timing, and Remotion registration prepare the preview.
- Render and publish steps happen only when the user requests paid output actions or an autonomous mode reaches them.
Why it can pause
- Approval gates wait for a decision.
- Provider errors, workspace access issues, quota limits, or YouTube reauth can block progress.
- Recovery can resume from durable state rather than starting every artifact from scratch.
