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

Execute — do the immediate task
+Add the classroom clip of the science demo to slide 7, starting at 00:00 and ending at 01:12, with playback set to click-to-play and a 16:9 crop centered on the student group. Put a caption below reading Demo: Chemical Reaction, Year 9. Check playback works on my laptop before I send the deck to IT for the school assembly on Friday.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I insert the demo video into the assembly slide, make it approval-friendly: surface the run-time at the top, mute system audio by default, include the exact start and end timestamps I want, and add a two-word caption so the reviewer immediately knows which scene is shown. Flag any technical issues that could block playback at assembly time.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+the video won’t play on the slide during rehearsal
I embedded the demo video on slide 7 and it played on my machine, but during rehearsal it failed to play on the school laptop. The assembly is tomorrow and IT is unavailable. What’s the most likely cause and the quickest workaround so I can present the clip reliably?

Become — change the pattern
+video embeds break on different machines repeatedly
Across several term assemblies the video I embed looks fine on my laptop but breaks on the production laptop, forcing last-minute fixes and stress. Where am I losing reliability and what consistent prep routine will prevent embed failures before each assembly?

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.
