# Video Stack - Overview

## Goals
- Polished explainer and ad videos, with 9:16 vertical shorts as the main format (16:9 masters when needed).
- Political **Voting Guide Series** (EDC GOP) kept separate from business explainers.
- Find the best stack per purpose by scored test runs (see [[Test Scorecards]]).

## Split workflow
- **Grok Bot** designs the workflow, templates, and prompts.
- The **Hermes "explainer" profile** on TonyB (`explainer chat`) does the production work on cheap inference (`gpt-6-luna`).
- Regis (Meta Muse agent) can be given the same brief for head-to-head comparisons.

## Stacks
- Business: [explainer-video-stack](https://gitea.vps1.afterthedemo.com/tonyjbala/explainer-video-stack) (GeoLocal, MiArc, Pocket Change type subjects)
- Political: [political-explainer-stack](https://gitea.vps1.afterthedemo.com/tonyjbala/political-explainer-stack) (templated brief/script, sourcing, "Paid for by" card)
- Older: [video-stack](https://gitea.vps1.afterthedemo.com/tonyjbala/video-stack) (first version, holds the original HERMES_PROMPT)
