 # cadence
 
+High-retention auto-editor for raw video recordings. It transcribes your audio, cuts silences and filler words, and writes a native `.kdenlive` project ready for final polish — plus `.srt` captions and an LLM-friendly transcript.
+
+## Quick start
+
+### Linux
+
+```sh
+# uv — installs to ~/.local/bin
+curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
+
+# FFmpeg — pick your distro
+sudo apt install ffmpeg                           # Debian / Ubuntu
+sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing   # Fedora
+sudo pacman -S ffmpeg                             # Arch
+
+# Run
+uv run cadence.py recording.mp4 --preset balanced --captions
+```
+
+> - **uv** installs to `~/.local/bin`; make sure that directory is on your `PATH` (the installer normally adds it — otherwise `export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"` in your shell profile).
+> - **Fedora**: enable [RPM Fusion](https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration) first. Fedora ships `ffmpeg-free`, which conflicts with the full `ffmpeg` package, so swap rather than install — `sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing`.
+> - **Nobara**: codecs are managed by Nobara and manual changes are blocked. Run `nobara-sync install-codecs` (or the Codec Wizard) instead of `dnf swap`.
+
+### macOS
+
+```sh
+brew install uv ffmpeg
+
+uv run cadence.py recording.mp4 --preset balanced --captions
+```
+
+### Windows (PowerShell)
+
+```powershell
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"   # uv
+winget install -e --id Gyan.FFmpeg                                                   # FFmpeg
+
+uv run cadence.py recording.mp4 --preset balanced --captions
+```
+
+## Install as a command (Linux & macOS)
+
+Make `cadence` available everywhere by symlinking the script into a directory on your `PATH`:
+
+```sh
+chmod +x cadence.py
+mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
+ln -sf "$PWD/cadence.py" ~/.local/bin/cadence
+```
+
+Now call it from any directory:
+
+```sh
+cadence recording.mp4 --preset balanced --captions
+```
+
+`~/.local/bin` is added to `PATH` by the uv installer; if it isn't, add `export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"` to your shell profile (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, etc.).
+
+## Output
+
+- `recording.kdenlive` — the edited project.
+- `recording.srt` and `recording_llm_transcript.txt` — generated when `--captions` is used.
+
+Presets: `relaxed`, `balanced`, `punchy`. See all options with `uv run cadence.py --help`.
+
+## Development
+
+Run the linter and tests locally:
+
+```sh
+uvx ruff check .
+uv run --with pytest pytest -q
+```
+
+The test suite needs only `pytest` — `cadence.py` imports nothing third-party at module level, so no torch/whisper/ffmpeg is required to run it. CI runs both via Forgejo Actions (`.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml`).
