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

Execute — do the immediate task
+Start a new project for the Kemp Promo April 21 edit. Name it ‘Kemp Promo April 21.prproj’, set the scratch disk to the external SSD labeled EDIT_WORK, save a Project Notes doc in Project > Metadata, and confirm auto-save every 10 minutes with five versions. Tell me when the project is ready for media import.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I create the new project, preset it so reviewers don't ask for trivial changes: choose a sensible autosave cadence, route renders to the external SSD, add a project metadata field for client notes, and prefill the sequence preset to 4K 23.976 so the editor doesn't need to change settings later.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I need to start a project but can’t decide the sequence preset.
I’m about to create the Kemp Promo April 21 project but I’m unsure which sequence preset to pick because footage includes 4K interview at 23.976 and some 1080 B-roll at 29.97. The producer insists on preserving camera frame rates. What sequence setting will minimize transcoding and timeline issues while keeping delivery flexible?

Become — change the pattern
+I keep recreating project settings each job and making tiny mistakes.
Over multiple projects I repeatedly misroute renders, lose autosaves, or pick inconsistent sequence presets, which costs time and risks corrupted exports. What checklist or naming convention should I adopt when creating new projects so I stop redoing settings and can hand a project to another editor without onboarding friction?

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.
