# @BHvideoguide launch — 4 decisions (5-minute read)

The loop has done everything safe: launch kit, sharpened content plan, legal/FTC framework, a reusable one-command video builder, and Video #1 rendered. **Everything left needs one of your calls.** Answer any/all — reply in chat is fine.

| # | Decision | Options | What it unblocks the moment you answer |
|---|----------|---------|----------------------------------------|
| 1 | **Narration voice** | (a) your cloned voice · (b) premium neural TTS (~$5–22/mo, *spend*) · (c) keep Daniel (en_GB, $0) | I finalize Video #1's audio + set the voice for all future renders. (a) needs a 1-min voice sample from you; (b) needs spend approval. |
| 2 | **Footage / format** | (a) make typography the $0 signature look (post now) · (b) license stock BH b-roll (~$15–50/mo, *spend*) · (c) shoot original | Determines whether pillar videos (#2–12) render as typography now, or wait for footage. |
| 3 | **Post Video #1?** | approve v2 (Daniel) / hold for voice / revise | I prep the actual TikTok post (still your final tap). |
| 4 | **TikTok posting API** | prep app now / later | I register the app + reuse the DW `tiktok` skill; you do a one-time OAuth. Enables scheduled posting. |

## Recommended path (fastest to live, lowest cost)
**1(c) keep Daniel → 2(a) typography signature → 3 approve v2 → 4 later.** Gets the channel posting this week at $0, establishes a distinctive look, and defers spend until it's earning attention. Upgrade voice/footage once there's traction.

## What's ready right now
- `assets/renders/BHvideoguide_video1_brand-intro.mp4` — Video #1 v2 (Daniel), 22.2s, posting-quality.
- `scripts/build_video.py` + `specs/*.json` — any of the 12 videos is one command once voice/format are set.
- `05-editorial-legal-framework.md` — FTC/defamation rules in force for any video naming a business.

## Loop status
**PAUSED** (per Cycle 2 + Cycle 3 adversarial verdicts — all remaining work is gated). It resumes the instant you answer a decision above, and will not produce more drafts until then.
