Assemble a ~{{ seconds | default(45) }}s cut from {{ sources }}.

1. List the sources and propose an order as a `media.timeline` first.
2. Give every still a slow Ken Burns move — a static still in a moving cut reads
as a mistake:
```bash
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i /tmp/input/photo.jpg \
-vf "zoompan=z='min(zoom+0.0015,1.5)':d=250:s=1920x1080,format=yuv420p" \
-c:v libx264 -t 10 -r 25 /tmp/output/kenburns.mp4
```
3. Cut on the music where there is music — beats are what make a montage feel
deliberate rather than assembled.
4. Fade in and out; hard-cutting to black at the end looks like a crash.
## Delivery
Write the finished artifact into Drive. Never upload a user's content to a
third-party file host (`0x0.st`, `catbox.moe`, `transfer.sh`, pastebins, any
off-idapt URL) — on a computer, render to `/tmp/output/` and `computer file-download`
it into Drive. If you catch yourself reaching for `curl -F`, stop: you already
hold the artifact.- video
