Highlighted projects

Project	Stack	What it proves
AI dataset video curation	ffmpeg · PySceneDetect · aHash	Raw footage into a versioned, deduplicated, normalised training set.
Shotcut MLT project generator	Python · MLT XML	Programmatic .mlt projects with producers, playlists and dynamic text.
OpenShot + OpenTimelineIO	Python · OSP · OTIO	Cross-NLE interchange so the same cut opens in OpenShot or any OTIO tool.
Lightworks EDL export	CMX-3600 · 33pt .cube LUT	Finishing hand-off to Lightworks / Resolve with a matching editorial LUT.
Auto-captioning + burn-in	Whisper (optional) · SRT · ffmpeg	Accessible captions with broadcast-safe margins for social and research decks.

Reproducibility

pip install opencv-python scenedetect opentimelineio matplotlib numpy
python3 scripts/python/run_all.py    # builds every artefact from nothing

Nine stages produce the .mlt, .osp, .otio, .edl, .cube and a final 1080p30 demo cut. Whisper is optional and gated on WHISPER=1 so CI stays offline.

Tech stack

• Editing NLEs — Shotcut (MLT), OpenShot (OSP), Lightworks, Kdenlive · pvpython-style programmatic project authoring.
• Interchange — OpenTimelineIO 0.17, CMX-3600 EDL, AAF, FCP7 XML, XMEML.
• Grading & LUTs — 33-point .cube 3D LUTs, Rec.709 → editorial, scopes (waveform, parade, vectorscope).
• Audio — ffmpeg loudnorm EBU R128, -23 LUFS integrated, -2 dBTP true-peak, LRA ≤ 7.
• Captions — WebVTT / SRT / TTML, Whisper v3 for drafts, broadcast-safe 5 % title / 10 % action-safe margins.

---

Editorial style

• Palette — teal #2E7A7B + amber #D9A441 on ink #0F1A1F / paper #FBFAF7.
• Type — Inter (UI) + JetBrains Mono (code, netlists, timecode).
• Determinism — every generator is seeded; PNG, CSV and project-file bytes are stable across CI runs.
• Licensing — every tool in the pipeline is FOSS. No commercial SDK in the dependency tree.

About the author

Senior video production professional with editorial, motion and technical supervisor experience. Comfortable owning a project from raw footage ingest through finishing, captioning and delivery — with a bias for reproducible, code-driven pipelines over manual NLE sessions.

Open to remote and contract engagements. This repository is the living portfolio companion to my CV.
