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

Execute — do the immediate task
+Bring all dialog clips to a consistent perceived level and deliver the timeline normalized so talk is steady throughout the piece. Target -16 LUFS integrated for documentary and -14 LUFS for branded content, with peaks below -1 dBFS. Run a short pass for uncontrolled peaks and fix any clips that clip before export — deadline is Friday 10:00 AM.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I hand this timeline to QA, make the normalization transparent: surface the final LUFS value at the top of the sequence, list any clips that needed more than 6 dB of gain, and highlight sections where normalization pushed noise up. Suggest clips where ADR or manual riding would be preferable to bulk gain changes.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+Auto‑normalize raised the room hiss in a quiet interview
I ran automatic normalization on the interview and the overall loudness is now correct, but in quiet sections the room hiss got louder and sounds brittle. I can lower gain there manually, apply a de‑noise, or leave it since the client wants an energetic sound. I don’t know which preserves voice quality best under tomorrow’s delivery. What should I do now?

Become — change the pattern
+Relying on global normalization and then chasing noise problems
On multiple jobs I normalize everything at the end and then spend hours fixing hiss and unwanted artifacts that normalization amplified. Which change in my process — a pre‑normalize pass, a noise audit, or different LUFS targets per scene — would save me time and keep quality predictable?

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.
