> Read the deck at ~/Documents/pitch.pdf and turn it into an elegant video I can send instead of presenting live. Have Claude Design rebuild each slide as an animated page at 1920x1080 in our brand colours, Montserrat headings, one build per point. Drop the deck furniture: no page numbers, footers or slide headings survive the rebuild. Write narration that says what each slide means rather than reading it out, design a warm, unhurried narrator voice in GroundSlate, and read the script with it, holding each slide until its narration finishes. If designing a voice from a description is not available, tell me and use the closest stock voice instead. Duck the bed at ~/Music/beds/calm.mp3 under the voice. Show me the script and a rough render first, then render it properly and file it under a business project called "Q4 Pitch".

- Have the narration explain each slide, not read it out. The viewer can read the bullets; the voice should add what they leave out.
- The voice is made and spoken on your Mac, and each read is identical on every render, so fixing one slide never shifts the timing of the rest.
- The music bed must be in a folder GroundSlate has been granted. Grant it in the app; the agent cannot do it for you.
