WINDOWS CREATIVE KIT — 9 September 2026
Owner of operating context: Akash. Builder owns draft video production.

Open START-HERE.html for the complete guide. Media previews and the library directory require internet; Drive requires existing access.

This supplement does not include credentials, accounts, Voicebox app/model, FFmpeg, Python, fonts, all raw media or authority to launch ads. Install steps and exact PowerShell command are in sections B and E.

Use native Windows Python/FFmpeg for the supplement. Older Ops Manager WSL scripts are a separate environment. Do not import macOS paths or Akash's local voice profile UUID.

Audio A/B/C are already treated: do not apply tempo changes again. Their matching scripts, word-level SRT and caption cards are in audio/. For new narration, regenerate word timings from the final treated audio.

The portable renderer uses an explicit licensed font, a pre-edited silent 1080x1920 base and matching-length audio. It does not choose a crop, force a loop or validate footage rights. Original Mac font was Avenir Next; the Windows Arial Bold example changes appearance and needs review.

Install: py -3.12 -m venv .venv
Install: .\.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install Pillow
Run from this folder:
.\.venv\Scripts\python.exe tools\build_video.py --video "work\base.mp4" --audio "audio\option-b.wav" --cards "audio\option-b.cards.json" --words "audio\option-b.words.srt" --banner "Foundation Problems?" --font "C:\Windows\Fonts\arialbd.ttf" --caption-y 0.68 --out "outputs\FR-practice-b.mp4"

Create work/ and outputs/ first. Run ffmpeg -version and ffprobe -version first.

The author tested rendering on macOS with an explicit font. Native Windows execution on the builder's PC is not yet verified. Passing full decode is technical only; review all frames, audio, captions, source marks and offer before paid use.

The private September 7 Ops Manager bundle is separate. Do not upload its database connection or credentials files with this supplement.
