Premiere / OBS marker types

Reference for tagging streams in Premiere and writing editDesc chapters.
Companion to prompts.txt (editDesc cleanup rules).

Deliverable vs internal

Category	In YouTube chapters / editDesc?
Descriptive location & activity markers	Yes
Deliverable tangent pairs (tag in / tag out)	Yes
Pipeline stamps (gamign, env, raw SEG)	No
FUNI, FUNI(INT), funi, INT:, LORE:	No
AFK / UNAFK	Usually yes (viewer-facing breaks)
starting soon / preramble / postramble / goodbye (renamed from Start, BEGIN, last env, END)	Yes (stream bookends)
Raw BEGIN / END / AFK / UNAFK	Yes (or folded into longer chapter titles)

---

OBS pipeline stamps (purple)

Hotkey stamps from the streaming layout. Not chapter titles — they mark OBS scene/layout switches and get stripped from editDesc (see prompts.txt).

Marker	Purpose
gamign	Gaming layout / game capture active (intentional typo).
env	Environment / desktop / non-game layout. The last env of the stream (desktop at wrap-up) is usually relabeled postramble in editDesc — same timestamp, different chapter title.
SEG	Orange OBS chapter stamp for “new topic segment.” Often replaced in post with a descriptive deliverable label, or converted to INT: if the tangent is editor-only.

These align to OBS marker times, not transcript guesses. When adding deliverable chapters, use the marker timestamp, not speech alone.

---

Internal editor notes

Never front-facing. Strip from editDesc.

Prefix	Purpose
INT:	Internal note to editor — excluded from delivery. White in Premiere. Example: INT: desktop (alt-tab too fast to matter on VOD). Not the same as “interruption”; non-deliverable tangents get INT:, deliverable ones get descriptive tag in/out. Opsec pass: probe multiple frames around each gamign/env cluster (±5–15s); add INT: only when a desktop, browser, or other sensitive UI is actually visible — not automatically on every env stamp. OBS env layout (meme frame, chat overlay) without taskbar/browser is lower risk; full MapGenie/desktop tabs = high priority.
FUNI	“Clip that” — flag a moment to save for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Blue — OBS hotkey stamp during stream. May include a short label (e.g. FUNI cozy awoo).
FUNI(INT)	Was FUNI originally; relabeled FUNI(INT) manually when the clip note is internal/editor-only rather than a straight short. Stays blue (FUNI lineage). Strip from editDesc like other internal markers.
funi	Same purpose as FUNI, but lowercase and aquamarine — added manually in post (not an OBS marker). Example: funi ubear gift.
LORE:	Lore / callback note for editor or future reference, not a public chapter.

Stream structure — hard tags (yellow/tan)

Predefined stamps from the OBS/py pipeline. Yellow/tan in Premiere (4281049552 in 0csv_to_xml.py; muted tan-yellow in the UI). setColorByIndex(4) — not index 5 (that is white, used for INT:).

Raw marker	Purpose
Start	Pre-stream hold. Green (default color when no pproColor is set — from 0csv_to_xml.py).
BEGIN	Stream proper begins (hard tag).
AFK	Stepping away — break starts.
UNAFK	Back from break.
END	Stream over (hard tag).

editDesc rename conventions

Premiere keeps the raw stamp names; chapters use friendlier labels at the same timestamps:

Raw stamp	editDesc chapter title
Start	starting soon (always)
BEGIN	preramble, setup + rambling, or similar (often)
last env	postramble (often)
END	goodbye (always)

prompts.txt still strips raw env lines — you replace that slot with postramble when writing chapters. BEGIN / END / AFK / UNAFK stay as chapter lines (or get merged into longer titles like chatting + goodbye).

---

Deliverable content markers (descriptive)

Short labels: locations, bosses, setup beats, tangents worth skipping or revisiting. May be yours (live/post) or agent-added during visual tagging.

Red is only for agentic stamps — markers the agent adds during MCP/visual passes (Underworks, Wisp Thicket, etc.). Agent INT: / LORE: → white. Your own descriptive stamps → orange (same family as SEG). Do not recolor your existing markers to red; leave pipeline/FUNI/bookend colors alone.

Gameplay & exploration

Examples: Bellhart, far fields arena, goo beast defeated, first sinner fight.

Deliverable tangents — tag in / tag out

For skippable or revisit-worthy segments (gift popups, detours, downloads):

1. Tag in — descriptive name at segment start (e.g. Subnautica 2 gift).
2. Tag out — descriptive name where main content resumes (e.g. far fields arena after gift ends).

Both bounds are deliverable chapter candidates. Do not use gamign or env as tag-out labels.

Agentic stamping workflow (MCP)

Run on the active sequence in Premiere Pro with the CEP bridge panel connected (ws://127.0.0.1:9801). Do not auto-fill editDesc — markers and prtranscript/ sidecars only.

1. Premiere + MCP prep

1. Open the stream .prproj / sequence (e.g. 2026-06-18 slump.ts).
2. Open PremierPro MCP Bridge (CEP) — confirm connected on port 9801.
3. Rebuild MCP if transcript tools are missing: go build -o bin/server.exe ./cmd/server in AdobePremiereProMCP/go-orchestrator, then restart the premiere-pro MCP in Cursor.
4. Local mp4 for ffmpeg probes: {year}/{date} {stream}.mp4 (e.g. 2026/2026-06-18 slump.ts.mp4).

2. Export transcript (before visual pass)

Premiere 25 Text > Transcript is not readable via ExtendScript. Export through MCP:

Tool	premiere_export_sequence_transcript
output_path	editDesc/prtranscript/{stream}.prtranscript (absolute path)
format	prtranscript (default), json, or text

Pr 25 (preferred): open Window > UXP Plugins > PremierPro MCP UXP Bridge and confirm Connected on ws://127.0.0.1:9802. Source clips must already be transcribed in Text > Transcript.

Install once: scripts/install-uxp-panel-win.bat in the MCP repo. Enable UXP developer mode in Premiere preferences.

Fallback (no UXP / Pr 24): in Text panel, Create Captions, then call the same tool (reads caption tracks; speakers often Unknown).

Optional: premiere_export_captions → .srt / .vtt when a caption track exists.

Use the exported *_prtranscript.txt (or .prtranscript blocks) as segment seeds for the visual pass — not as chapter timestamps alone.

3. Baseline snapshot

premiere_get_sequence_markers → save editDesc/prtranscript/{stream}_markers_baseline.json.

4. Visual pass

1. Merge transcript seeds with existing marker labels.
2. ffmpeg probes: editDesc/prtranscript/_*_probe/ — opsec clusters (below) plus ~10‑min sweeps during gameplay.
3. premiere_capture_frame_base64 at seeds / map titles when mp4 is unavailable.
4. Write editDesc/prtranscript/{stream}_visual_tags.txt.

5. Add markers

• Red (1): new agent deliverable location/activity stamps only.
• White (5): agent-added INT: / LORE: only when opsec rules justify them.
• Never recolor or rename the user's existing markers.

6. After snapshot + save

Save editDesc/prtranscript/{stream}_markers_after.json. Ctrl+S the project (Synology paths may time out on premiere_save_project).

---

Opsec pass (agent)

For each gamign ↔ env cluster:

1. Export frames at the stamp and ±3s, ±8s, ±15s (ffmpeg on {year}/{stream}.mp4 → prtranscript/_*_probe/).
2. Inspect for taskbar, desktop wallpaper, browser tabs/URL bar, file paths, MapGenie, Discord DMs, etc.
3. Add INT: only when exposure is visible — label specifically (INT: desktop, INT: mapgenie, INT: mapcheck, …).
4. Do not pair every env with INT: desktop. In-game menus (inventory, pause, tasks, map) and OBS env layout (avatar + meme frame + chat) are not desktop exposure unless a real OS/browser window is on screen.
5. If nothing sensitive appears in the probe window, leave the cluster with no agent INT:.

---

editDesc workflow

• Chapters in editDesc/*.txt are semi-manual (JSyntax Workflows + cursor edit prompt).
• Agent tagging work targets Premiere markers; do not auto-fill editDesc with INT:, FUNI/funi, or pipeline stamps.
• Agent adds red markers only for its own new deliverable location/activity stamps; set white on agent-added INT: / LORE: only. Your descriptive stamps stay orange. Never bulk-recolor the user's markers.
• Transcription aids live in editDesc/prtranscript/ (per year): *_prtranscript.txt, *_visual_tags.txt, marker JSON snapshots, probe frames (_gap_probe/), etc. — not mixed with deliverable chapter .txt files.
• prompts.txt rules still apply: remove FUNI, INT, LORE, gamign, and env lines (treat lowercase funi the same as FUNI); normalize YouTube timestamps.

Premiere marker colors (0csv_to_xml.py)

Marker family	Color	setColorByIndex
Start	Green (default)	0
Agent-added deliverable tags (locations, tag in/out, bosses)	Red	1
gamign, env	Purple	2
SEG; your manual descriptive stamps	Orange	3
BEGIN, END, AFK, UNAFK	Yellow/tan	4
INT:	White	5
FUNI, FUNI(INT)	Blue	6
funi	Aquamarine / turquoise	7

When adding markers via MCP: new agent stamps → red = 1; agent INT: / LORE: → white = 5. Do not change colors on markers you did not add.

DRACONIANDISCOURSE S2 hybrid streams (Draconian Discourse + gaming)

Since S2, most live sessions use a hybrid timeline — not the old split where gaming VOD and DD were separate exports.

Deliverable	Timeline	Description file	Notes
Full stream VOD ({name}.ts)	Entire live recording — DD block then gaming block in one sequence	{year}/editDesc/{date} {name}.ts.txt	Keeps starting soon, AFK/UNAFK breaks, goodbye, and the gaming tail. Same Premiere project as the live recording. Markers cover both DD and gaming. This is why the full .ts exists: it is the complete VOD.
DD-only upload	Trimmed DD segment only (same channel, same thumb)	DRACONIANDISCOURSE/S2/E{n}/DD_S2E{n}.txt stylized manifest	Derivative cut — not a second full timeline. Cuts cold open (starting soon), AFK/UNAFK segments, and goodbye. Content usually begins at PRERAMBLE. Chapters = DD topic tokens only.
DD-only stream (rare)	DD only — no gaming tail	DD manifest only	When the whole session is discourse; no post-DD gamign block to stamp. Same trim rules as DD-only upload when exported.

Why two deliverables: the full {name}.ts preserves the whole stream arc (hold, breaks, sign-off, optional gaming). The DD-only version is a tighter podcast-style cut of the discourse block alone — no cold open, no AFK padding, no farewell — which is why those bookends live on the full VOD markers/editDesc, not in DD_S2E{n}.txt.

Stamping style (from DD S2 workflow)

Reference: 0STREAMUNIVERSE/DRACONIANDISCOURSE/.specstory/history (S2E2–S2E5 marker passes).

DD portion (before first post-discourse gamign / CONCLUSION boundary):

1. Topic tokens — short ALL_CAPS labels, often WORD_WORD (e.g. TRIP_RETROSPECTIVE, INTRO_HAWLEY, STEAM_HOOK, FUND_HYPOCRISY). Match the tone of DD_S2E{n}.txt manifest chapters.
2. Tie to OBS times — chapter rows in editDesc / DD manifest must use marker timestamps, not transcript guesses alone.
3. Preserve internal stamps — INT: / converted SEG, all FUNI, pipeline gamign/env: keep names and colors; strip from deliverable chapter lists only.
4. Broad topics — compress rapid-fire stamps within ~1 min into one label; don’t micro-chapter every tangent.
5. Bookends — on full {name}.ts: starting soon / PRERAMBLE / AFK/UNAFK / goodbye (last env → postramble in editDesc when applicable). On DD_S2E{n}.txt: omit starting soon, AFK breaks, and goodbye — manifest starts at discourse content (usually PRERAMBLE).

Gaming portion (after DD ends — first sustained gamign / silksong prep / equivalent):

1. Rename & condense purple (gamign/env), orange (SEG), and tan/yellow (BEGIN/END/AFK/UNAFK) stamps that remain after the DD cutoff — merge research toggles (gamign↔env ping-pong) into one deliverable label where possible.
2. Labels — lowercase descriptive gameplay names in {name}.ts.txt (silksong prep, lost lace); agent red only for new location/boss/activity stamps the user hasn’t set.
3. Transcript + frames — use *_prtranscript.json seeds plus ffmpeg probes (_floom_probe/, etc.) or premiere_capture_frame_base64 for boss titles, map names, opsec clusters.
4. Do not recolor or rename the user’s existing markers; agent adds red / white only.

Premiere hygiene (DD passes):

• Never premiere_delete_all_markers on hybrid sequences.
• To replace DD chapter rows: ExtendScript delete markers before cutoff time only, then add chapter markers; leave post-SEG / post-CONCLUSION gaming markers intact.
• Register undo (premiere_undo) before bulk rename/delete experiments.

Agent scope on hybrid *.ts sequences:

• Full {name}.ts.txt — semi-manual; agent does not auto-fill. Stamp Premiere + write prtranscript/ sidecars.
• DD_S2E{n}.txt — separate stylized manifest for the DD-only derivative; topic tokens only for the DD block.
• Gaming agent pass runs on the same active sequence, scoped to timestamps after the DD boundary (see editDesc CONCLUSION / first post-DD gamign).
