A clip is not a story. A forty-second video can show something striking and still leave the most important questions unanswered: who is speaking, what was said before and after, where it happened, and how it fits with everything else on the record.
Turning a clip into a story is mostly the work of adding context. In the Digitalage model, that begins with transcription, so the words become searchable text rather than locked-away audio. Source analysis then compares the clip against other material to place it in a timeline and flag what is corroborated and what is not.
Structure is what makes the result readable. A transcript, a short summary, a set of key points, and a source note are designed to travel together, so a reader gets the gist quickly and can drill into the evidence without leaving the page.
Done well, this is unglamorous infrastructure: the steps that turn raw footage into something a person can actually use and check. The clip is the easy part. The context is the work.
