Calm points
A note never talks over the story.
Wick never puts a family note in the middle of a scene. It used to wait for the credits. Now it also knows the moments inside a film where the picture changes and nobody is speaking, and the film waits on that cut while the note is read.
- MeasuredEvery shot, fade and the end credits by Amazon Rekognition’s video segment detection; the quiet stretches by ffmpeg, against each film’s own loudness.
- Chosen by ruleA cut inside a quiet stretch, or the end of a fade. Never in the first 60 seconds, never in the last 60 before the credits, never two within 90 seconds.
- Described, not decidedThe sentence under each one is written by a model on Amazon Bedrock looking at the two frames. It chooses nothing.
