video-use Best Practices (Hebrew)
Verified91/100Hebrew override layer on top of browser-use/video-use. Two paths: (1) captions-only.sh, one command that takes a long video, transcribes via Scribe, and burns Hebrew captions on the original. Costs $1-3 regardless of video length, the cheap path for non-technical users with a webinar or lecture. (2) The full video-use cut workflow for editing raw footage into curated teasers, ~$25-300 depending on length. Also covers SUB_FORCE_STYLE override (Helvetica has no Hebrew glyphs), python-bidi pre-shape recipe (libass+SRT BiDi is silently broken on macOS), Scribe garbage-character sanitization (Devanagari and other non-Hebrew chars Scribe mixes into Hebrew transcripts), Hebrew filler-word lexicon, explicit fontsdir= for reliable font discovery, and frame-sampling self-eval protocol. Use for any Hebrew video that needs captions or editing with video-use. Do NOT use for non-Hebrew video-use sessions, Hebrew podcast audio-only post-production (use hebrew-podcast-postproduction), or generic FFmpeg work without video-use.

video-use ships with a strong English-first default: the bundled SUB_FORCE_STYLE uses Helvetica (no Hebrew glyphs, renders as boxes), 2-word UPPERCASE chunks (Hebrew has no uppercase), and ElevenLabs Scribe filler tagging is English-centric. This skill is the Hebrew-specific override layer on top of video-use 12 Hard Rules, none of the rules change, only the style values, font fallback chain, and filler list.

Edit the files in this folder into a 5-minute Hebrew launch video with burned-in Hebrew captions. Use video-use with sub-force-style-hebrew from references/.
My final video shows caption boxes. Run fc-list :lang=he, if missing install via scripts/install-hebrew-fonts.sh and re-render.
Read references/hebrew-filler-words.md and apply the list as a post-pass on my Scribe JSON. Add the timestamps to the cut-candidate set before building the EDL.
