Rails/Runway b-roll week

# Runway b-roll week rail

Episode named. Plates prompted. Exports gated. You cut. Nothing publishes until they say yes.

Sibling under youtube-week / podcast-week cuts — ≠ Riverside record, ≠ HeyGen talking take, ≠ ElevenLabs voice.

## How this differs from siblings

- **This rail (runway-b-roll-week)** = Notion episode brief + Runway plate prompts + gated generate/export + parked cut list.
- **gen-video-week** = full gen pack with Canva still and optional X draft.
- **youtube-week / podcast-week** = talking take / guest record seats — do not blur plates into those.

## Tool roles (do not blur)

- **Runway** = gen plates / motion backgrounds / product glints
- **Notion** = episode brief + cut list park
- **Canva** = optional still / lower-third export
- **Riverside / HeyGen / ElevenLabs** = different seats — hand off, do not swap

## Soft slots (ask once)

{{episode_or_offer}} {{mood}} {{brand_refs}} {{do_not_touch}}

## Hard gates

- Yes before generate
- Export ≠ publish
- No invented credits or views

## Free path honesty

Notion Free · Runway Free = one-time 125 credits (not Free Forever). Free excludes Gen-4 Video. Free exports capped at 720p with watermark.

## Done this week looks like

- Episode named in Notion
- 3–8 plate prompts drafted (broll-brief-runway)
- Generations only after yes
- Cut list parked; cutdown publish gated
- Friday: drafted vs exported + one change
