QA Multi-Platform Social Media Publishing
How do you want to start?
Two doors. Same pipeline underneath. Come back here anytime to start something new.
Pipeline dashboard
Click a card to show those records below. The cards stay on this page.
Recent platform outputs
Normalized states hide scenario implementation details while preserving actionable status.
Ideas
Write or pick a brief, then add photos. Promotion happens after the photos are in — not from the type list on the idea.
Start with an idea
Choose an Idea Candidate already in the I1–I4 path, or enter a new one manually. Neither step promotes or starts production by itself.
Production
Open a draft, continue platform prep, or review promoted items.
Start with content
Name it, pick the media you have, then drop it in.
Video clips and finished video come later.
Audio / Voiceover
Post title
Post caption

Outputs
Configure production
Draft creative intent before the pipeline starts.
Production request drafts
Saved creative requests waiting for approval/promotion. Opening a draft does not interrupt photo uploads.
Promoted content items
Items that have entered the existing production pipeline.
Platform pipeline
Click an output row to watch the render, see the photo package, and read the caption. Studio state refreshes automatically while this page is open.
Creative review
Review and refine the current platform creative.
Rendered preview
Listen to the current mix, adjust below, then save for the next preview render.
Global creative controls
Shared defaults. Individual slides can override these values.
Review-time audio mix
Voiceover, normal music, and music-under-narration are independent controls. Voiceover starts at the existing 100% render level.
Ratio readiness
Platform mapping remains the ratio authority. Exact resized variants are optional. When one is not prepared, Studio can render from the source image using the selected crop/fill treatment.
Music library
Browse the current Airtable background-music catalogue and preview available tracks before production.
Operations
Per-profile daily ideas, library intake, manual publish queues, and oversized compression. This replaces Make clocks for I1, A0, PUB1–PUB3, and A1S.
Daily ideas
When a profile toggle is on, the Worker runs I1 once per Chicago day around 1:00 a.m. for that profile only.
Loading profiles…
Library intake
Opening this tab checks Airtable for assets that need classification or compression. Process intake only when you want A2 to scan the Drive folder.
Waiting to start…
Ready to schedule
Approved outputs that still need a post date. Set the time here instead of waiting for a reminder email.
Ready to publish
Due packages. Auto-publish still runs from Pipeline review. Use this when you posted by hand and need to mark them published.
Oversized library videos
Files over 100 MB. Compress starts A1S for that Drive file instead of a daily folder scan.
