CATS | PUNK VISUALIZER
Artist / supplied audio: veronkidonki
Audio source: the user-uploaded Cats.mp3
Video: 1280 x 720, 24 fps, H.264 video + AAC stereo audio
Source recording duration: 4 minutes 33.192 seconds

WEB PLAYBACK COPY
The website uses an optimized H.264 encode at the original 1280 x 720 / 24 fps.
The complete edit is preserved, and its AAC audio stream is copied unchanged
from the finished visualizer. The downloadable source project remains separate.

EDIT AND TIMING NOTES
The original supplied recording is included from beginning to end, without new
speech, rearrangement, or changes to its lyrics. AAC is an audio re-encode, not
a bit-for-bit copy of the MP3.

The spectrum and waveform are calculated from the actual recording. Scene changes
use approximate keyword/topic cue points, including limited automated recognition
anchors. They are NOT manually verified, frame-accurate lyric synchronization.
The editable cue sheet is included in the project folder.

Images have been transformed into high-contrast, two-tone photographic stencils
and placed into a distressed-paper collage. They are intentionally grainy rather
than restored or photorealistically altered. Additional subjects use original,
labelled illustrative graphics, not invented archival photographs. In particular,
the Four Seasons / Total Landscaping image is a graphic, not a venue photograph.

SOURCE PHOTOGRAPHS
The source pages below identify these photographs as public domain under the
listed U.S. government-work provisions. The images are archival illustrations;
these photographs do not document every event discussed in the soundtrack.
The public-domain status of photos does not determine rights in the soundtrack.

RENDER RECOVERY
The prior single-process render was terminated by an execution timeout at about
1 minute 50 seconds. This version renders independent 16-second checkpoints,
verifies their frame counts, joins their video streams without re-encoding them,
and then muxes the full audio into the final MP4. The MP4 includes fast-start
metadata for playback before a complete download.
