Audited the shipped feature surface against the list. Seven subjects were missing, three of them
distinguishers:
- **Green/blue screen removal** — auto-detect + opt-in suggestion, and it keys alert clips too.
- **Video file layers** — clip decodes, audio joins the mixer, per-layer mute/level.
- **Edit the broadcast on air** — title/description/tags/visibility, same fields prefill Go Live.
- Global hotkeys (F1–F5 / F6 / F7 / F8 / F9, OS-level), layout autosave, record with no sign-in.
- Resilience as one subject: ingest pre-flight, reconnect, Back on air, crash-safe fragmented MP4.
Corrections: the transition row claimed Move, which is still queued — now says so. The after-surge
list gained Move and scene-linked audio (35) and dropped entries that have shipped (media file
picking) or that belong to ready rows (resilience). 32 ready subjects, 8 later.
New `youTubeTrainingVideos.md`: the feature list worth filming, split into "ready now" and
"after the surge lands" so nothing gets filmed before it exists, plus the format decisions
settled on 2026-11-01.
Format: 16:9 long-form is the library (search intent, walkthroughs, conversion); vertical Shorts
are trailers cut from the same pass. A 16:9 video cannot be a Short, so it is a per-video choice.
TikTok is a mirror of the verticals, never a strategy.
The numbers behind it: Shorts need 1,000 subs + 10M views in 90 days for YPP versus 4,000 watch
hours in a year; Shorts RPM is $0.02-0.08 per 1,000 against $3-8 for tutorials; and one $79 sale
nets ~$55.30, which is what 700k-2M Shorts views pay. Shorts are an install engine, not revenue.
Film first: privacy blur, auto-ducking, webcam blur.
