Actions: the parts inside every Workflow

An Action is one reusable step. Media Mill includes 14 media and control Actions plus 10 editable AI Actions. Put them in order and you have a Workflow.

AI Actions you can edit

AI Actions run against the transcript, title and compatible earlier outputs. Edit their instructions or add your own. They do not inspect video scenes.

Output type matters

A Markdown-producing Action can feed a later AI Action. An Edit Plan can feed Cut. A timed transcript can feed Translate or Burn subtitles. Tags and titles update the item instead of writing files.
