Problem → solution
One link.
One usable file.
A successful transfer was not enough if the result still needed manual codec checks and conversion before it could enter an editing timeline.
Resolve and verify
Controlled format fallbacks, output checks and FFprobe validation prevent half-finished results.
Prepare the MP4
Unexpected media is normalised to a predictable H.264, AAC and 1080p editing format.
Technical notes Open details
Failure handling
The workflow checks runtime availability, rejects unsuitable input, tries controlled format variants and confirms that the final file exists and is non-empty.
Responsible scope
