The four heights
The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task
+I need the review markers in the timeline updated before tomorrow’s client cut. Add a green marker at 00:12:08 with the note “tighten pacing here — remove 2 frames”; add a yellow marker at 00:34:22 labeled “color check — faces too warm”; and move the existing red marker from 00:45:10 to 00:45:06. Confirm each marker has the correct color, timestamp, and text, then export the marker list as a CSV and attach it to the Friday handoff email to Priya in post and Thomas the producer.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I send the rough cut to the client, make the timeline easy to review by surfacing markers. Put a summary marker track at the top with five-word labels for every scene change, flag anything longer than 12 seconds with a yellow marker, and mark all technical issues (sync, noise, dropped frames) in red. Export a one-page marker summary that starts with the two biggest risks a reviewer will notice: audio hiss at 00:03:40 and a jump cut at 00:18:12.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+The producer flagged a miss in the color notes at 2pm.
I just finished adding markers for the producer’s notes and exported the marker list; Priya says the color correction marker is missing from Scene 4 and the client review is at 9am tomorrow. I’m worried we’ll miss that correction in the final render but I don’t know if the colorist can finish another quick pass tonight. What’s the safest next step to ensure the client sees the corrected color without delaying the review, and how should I communicate options to Priya and the colorist?

Become — change the pattern
+We lose time redoing markers after handoff.
Over the last six projects we keep redoing markers at handoff — producers add notes in email, editors re-enter them in the timeline, and clients complain reviews feel inconsistent. I want one habit change that stops the rework and speeds approvals. Which single change to how we create and share markers before internal review will prevent repeated edits and who must enforce it?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
