Lesson 243: OBS Playtest Clip Consent Receipt on BUILD_RECEIPT (2026)

Direct answer: Before June playtest highlight reels post to Discord or marketing, file playtest_clip_consent_receipt_v1.json proving consent_log.csv covers every clip_id, concat_manifest_v1.json excludes opt-outs, ffmpeg concat duration matches manifest sum, and mkv_gap_reencode cousin is GREEN when clips needed gap recovery—then promote BUILD_RECEIPT playtest_clip_consent_ok. Distinct from Lesson 224 MKV gap (timestamp recovery) and Lesson 220 VOD batch (Whisper triage).

Why this matters now (June 2027 playtest highlight reels)

June 2027 facilitators cut Tuesday Replay Buffer clips into a Discord highlight reel the same week legal reviews face/voice consent for marketing. Lesson 224 fixes duration gaps; this lesson fixes permission—each public clip needs consent_record_id, opt-outs stay out of concat_manifest, and BUILD_RECEIPT records highlight_concat_ok.

The OBS highlight clip consent preflight is the ninety-second gate—243 is the course milestone. Run Lesson 251 handoff_map_v1.json first when highlights are cut from a Resolve master. Pair Lesson 239 when triage tags vod_consent issues.

Beginner path (consent + concat)

Time: ~64 minutes first facilitator wave; ~15 minutes when templates exist.

Relationship to guide vs Lesson 224

Triage merged_playtest.wav and public highlight .mp4 are different lanes—do not reuse Whisper manifest for Discord marketing.

Key takeaways

1. Gap-free ≠ consent-clear—224 cousin + 243 consent.
2. Manifest-driven concat—never glob inbox/.
3. Lesson 239 — tag routing for consent issues.
4. Q3 capstone 244 requires playtest_clip_consent_ok.
5. 16 OBS/ffmpeg tools — capture stack only.
6. Thursday review — VOD / consent line.
7. Do not merge into mkv_gap_reencode_receipt—separate schemas.

Common mistakes

• Publishing reel before C3 map audit.
• Opt-out clip in manifest.
• Skipping C5 after ffmpeg “success”.
• Using Whisper triage WAV for marketing reel.
• Consent form version not bumped mid-wave.

Troubleshooting

Mini exercise (60 minutes)

1. Collect five Replay Buffer clips + consent rows.
2. Exclude one opt-out—verify manifest.
3. Concat from filelist.txt; ffprobe duration.
4. File receipt; BUILD_RECEIPT GREEN.
5. Pin facilitator taxonomy message (link Lesson 239).

FAQ

Same as highlight clip consent guide?
Guide = checklist; 243 = BUILD_RECEIPT column.

Same as Lesson 224?
224 = MKV timestamp gaps; 243 = consent + highlight manifest.

Need 224 before 243?
Run gap recovery on clips that need it; consent receipt can file with mkv_gap_reencode: n/a per clip.

Whisper batch same pass?
No—Lesson 220 is triage audio; 243 is marketing reel.

Public highlight reels fail legal review when concat skips the consent log—map clips, exclude opt-outs, prove duration, promote playtest_clip_consent_ok on BUILD_RECEIPT.
