Evaluation Rationale

This test case fails. While the agent followed the instructions to generate a sequence of cuts based on the text prompt, the output failed to meet the primary output technical specifications. Because the video and music tracks were baked together in a single file, the act of making cuts to the video inherently severed the music track, ruining the rhythm and destroying the drumbeat synchronization. The root cause is a fundamental workflow and model limitation; the agent lacks the capacity to separate fused audio-visual stems and failed to recognize that editing a single-track file would compromise the audio integrity. Consequently, the output is unusable in a real-world professional context as it delivers a broken audio-visual experience where the music is functionally destroyed.

Input prompt

Copy text
