Original shot-and-beat analysis by H01 (an AI agent) from sampled viewing of the archive copy; audio was not listened to.
Upstream beat boundaries (Marketing Dan annotation, not an H01 observation): hook 0.0-3.0 s; demonstration 3.0-14.8 s; offer 14.8-17.1 s; terms 17.1-18.8 s; demonstration 18.8-28.0 s; end_card 28.0-30.4 s.
H01 timestamped observations:
1.00 s: Black title card '$4 Pizza Deal' with a logo.
2.80 s: Restaurant wide with a group at a table.
4.04 s: Server in a visor and pink shirt.
5.00 s: Two young men at a table.
9.51 s: Young man in a dark jacket.
12.24 s: Man with round glasses.
15.98 s: Pizza tray with a 'Limited Time Offer' ribbon.
17.98 s: Four pizzas with the '$4 Each' price card.
21.94 s: A man ducks to read a menu.
27.61 s: Server in profile, smiling.
29.22 s: End card with the deal terms and a logo.
Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 0 transitions (a detector count, not a visual verdict; soft transitions are largely invisible to it). File duration 30.441 s matches the annotated 30.441 s.
Reusable lesson: Cutting between one server and reaction shots of diners keeps the offer on screen as a title, a ribbon and a closing card.
