• No outbound sent; this is the draft artifact only

1) Send this message to your editor (copy/paste)

Subject: Weekly brief — week of Feb 9 (deliverables + deadlines)

Hey — here’s the weekly brief.

A) Deliverables (this week)

1. Vlog v1 (week of 2026-02-09)

• Goal: one vlog cut (v1) ready for review
• Length target: ___ (e.g., 6–10 min)
• Style refs: ___ (links)
• Must include: hook in first 5–10 seconds + clear ending CTA

2. Shorts draft (week of 2026-02-09)

• Goal: a first batch of shorts cut for review
• Count target: ___ (e.g., 5–10)
• Each short: 15–45s; hard hook; captions; punchy pacing
• Platform-safe framing: 9:16, safe margins, loudness consistent

B) Backlog (only if time remains after A)

• “EDIT and post cali videos” (prep cuts / selects)
• “EDIT LIL SURF VIDEO”
• “Edit DTHANG VIDEO”

C) Deadlines (hard)

• Wed (EOD ET): First pass on Shorts batch (at least ___ shorts)
• Fri (EOD ET): Vlog v1 cut

If those dates don’t work, send two alternative dates tonight.

D) Definition of Done (DOD)

• Captions burned in (or caption file provided) + spelling pass
• Audio: no clipping; voice/dialogue intelligible
• Color: consistent; no accidental overexposure
• Music: no copyright landmines; keep it clean
• Export settings:
  • Shorts: 1080x1920, H.264, 20–30 Mbps, AAC 320k
  • Vlog: 1920x1080, H.264, 20–30 Mbps, AAC 320k

E) File naming + delivery

• Folder: ENVO/Week-2026-02-09/
• Shorts: short-YYYYMMDD-01-title.mp4
• Vlog: vlog-2026-02-09-v1.mp4
• Include project file if possible (Premiere/Resolve) or a clean timeline export

F) Review loop

• Upload drafts to ___ (Drive/Frame.io/Dropbox)
• I’ll return notes within 24h
• You apply notes and deliver v2 within 24h

Thanks.

2) Inputs needed from Envo (2-minute unblock checklist)

Reply to your editor / fill these in once and you’re done:

1. Footage location(s): ___ (Drive folder / card dump)
2. Brand kit / fonts / captions style: ___
3. Platform priority this week (rank): YouTube / IG / TikTok / Snap
4. Vlog angle (one sentence): ___
5. CTA: follow / course / community / other

3) Internal note (why this is the minimum viable system)

This keeps the editor lane “contained”:

• one weekly brief
• two hard deadlines
• a DOD so you aren’t re-litigating basics
• a predictable review loop

If you want, next iteration is a one-page “Weekly Edit Brief” template in second-brain/brain/templates/ (but I did not touch templates in this tick).
