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; offering 3.0-7.6 s; proof 7.6-22.6 s; details 22.6-26.6 s; end_card 26.6-30.1 s. H01 timestamped observations: 0.12 s: Black start. 1.50 s: Title card 'DUNKIN' DONUTS MUFFINS' in orange and pink. 3.12 s: Two hands break a chocolate-chip muffin. 7.75 s: Older woman eating from a plate by a fireplace. 14.80 s: Older woman in a kitchen holding an empty muffin tin. 18.68 s: Two older women on a red settee with a muffin box. 22.77 s: Muffins in close-up. 24.61 s: Muffins in a blue-lined basket. 26.69 s: Woman in a conservatory with a muffin box and a teapot. 28.32 s: End tag 'It's worth the trip.' with the product logo. Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 5 transitions (a detector count, not a visual verdict; soft transitions are largely invisible to it). File duration 30.072 s matches the annotated 30.072 s. Reusable lesson: Older-character vignettes in different rooms are cut between food close-ups; the slogan sits on the last frame.
