 ## Your Task
-Select one or more videos from the provided options that:
-1. **Cover the ENTIRE TTS script** - Every single word, sentence, and punctuation from the original TTS script MUST be included in your tts_script_segment fields. No words can be omitted or skipped.
-2. **Best match the content and tone** of the TTS script
-3. **Maintain narrative coherence** when combined
-4. **Synchronize product visuals with product mentions** - When the TTS script mentions the product name or refers to the product, the corresponding product showcase video MUST be displayed at that exact moment
-5. **Match video durations with script segments** - Ensure each video's duration reasonably matches its corresponding script segment length
-6. **Provide alternate video options when needed** - If primary video duration doesn't match well, suggest alternate videos from the same content category that could be merged, trimmed, or used as replacements
-7. **Use each video only once** - NEVER select the same video multiple times (no duplicates allowed) - this applies to both primary and alternate videos
-8. **Total exactly 10-12 seconds** in duration (strict requirement)
-9. **Maintain chronological order** - Videos must be arranged in the sequence they should appear, matching the flow of the TTS script from beginning to end
+Select one or more videos (with alternates) from the provided options that:
+1. **Best match the content and tone** of the TTS script
+2. **Maintain narrative coherence** when combined
+3. **Synchronize product visuals with product mentions** - When the TTS script mentions the product name or refers to the product, the corresponding product showcase video MUST be displayed at that exact moment
+4. **Use each video only once across primary AND alternate selections** - NEVER select the same video multiple times (no duplicates allowed in either primary or alternate choices)
+5. **Total exactly 10-12 seconds** in duration for primary selections (strict requirement)
+6. **Maintain chronological order** - Videos must be arranged in the sequence they should appear, matching the flow of the TTS script from beginning to end

 ## Selection Criteria (in order of priority)
 
-### 0. Complete Script Coverage (Absolute Requirement)
-- **CRITICAL**: EVERY word from the original TTS script MUST appear in exactly one tts_script_segment
-- When you combine all tts_script_segment fields from your output, they must form the complete original TTS script word-for-word
-- No words can be missing, skipped, or omitted
-- No words can appear twice (no overlapping segments)
-- Maintain the exact chronological order of words from the original script
-- This is non-negotiable - incomplete coverage will result in a failed output
-
-### 1. No Duplicate Videos (Absolute Requirement)
-- **CRITICAL**: Each video can only be selected ONCE in the entire output (applies to both primary and alternate videos)
+### 0. No Duplicate Videos (Absolute Requirement)
+- **CRITICAL**: Each video can only be selected ONCE across the ENTIRE output (including both primary and alternate selections)
 - Even if a video seems perfect for multiple segments, you MUST find alternative videos for subsequent segments
-- Track which videos you've already selected and exclude them from further consideration
-- A video used as primary in one segment cannot be used as alternate in another segment, and vice versa
+- Track which videos you've already selected and exclude them from further consideration for both primary and alternate positions
 - This rule has NO exceptions - duplicate videos will result in a failed output
 
-### 2. Product Mention Synchronization (Critical Priority)
+### 1. Product Mention Synchronization (Critical Priority)
 - **WHENEVER** the TTS script explicitly mentions the product name (e.g., "Somira Massager") or refers to "the product," "this massager," etc., you MUST select the product showcase video
 - The product video should appear at the EXACT moment when the product is mentioned in the script
 - This is a non-negotiable requirement for maintaining visual-audio coherence
 - If the product is mentioned multiple times, prioritize the FIRST mention for the product showcase video, and use demonstration/usage videos for subsequent mentions
+- The alternate video for product mentions should also be product-focused (e.g., different angle, different showcase style)
 
-### 3. Duration Matching (Critical Priority)
-- Select videos whose duration reasonably matches the script segment length
-- Consider average speaking pace (approximately 2-3 words per second for normal speech)
-- If primary video duration doesn't match well (significantly longer or shorter than needed), provide an alternate video option
-- Balance content relevance with duration appropriateness
-
-### 4. Content Relevance (Highest Priority)
+### 2. Content Relevance (Highest Priority)
 - Choose videos that directly illustrate or support the key message of the TTS script
 - Match specific actions mentioned in the script (e.g., "putting on," "turning on," "using") with videos showing those actions
 - Prioritize literal matches over metaphorical ones when available
 - Ensure visual content doesn't contradict the spoken words
-- When providing alternates, maintain similar content relevance
+- Alternate videos should maintain similar content relevance but may have different angles or styles
 
-### 5. Narrative Flow & Chronological Order
+### 3. Narrative Flow & Chronological Order
 - Videos MUST be arranged in chronological order matching the TTS script sequence
 - If selecting multiple videos, ensure smooth transitions
 - Maintain logical progression that follows the script's structure from start to finish
 - Avoid jarring cuts or mismatched visual sequences
+- Alternate videos should maintain the same chronological position and narrative flow
 
-### 6. Timing Optimization
-- The combined duration MUST be between 10-12 seconds
+### 4. Timing Optimization
+- The combined duration of PRIMARY selections MUST be between 10-12 seconds
+- Alternate videos should have similar durations to their primary counterparts (±2 seconds is acceptable)
 - Prefer combinations that naturally fit the script's pacing
-- Consider adjusting segment boundaries to achieve better duration matches
-- Alternate videos can help achieve better timing when primary videos don't fit well
+- Consider trimming longer videos to fit within the time constraint
+- If a single video works perfectly but is slightly short/long, note this clearly
 
-### 7. Alignment Score
+### 5. Alignment Score
 - Pay close attention to the "Video Alignment with TTS Script" field
 - Use the recommended keywords and scenarios mentioned in this field
 - Higher relevance to mentioned scenarios indicates better matches
 - Balance alignment recommendations with duration requirements
+- Alternate videos should have slightly lower but still strong alignment scores
 
-## Alternate Video Selection Strategy
-
-### When to Provide Alternate Videos:
-1. **Duration Mismatch**:
-   - Primary video is significantly longer or shorter than the script segment suggests
-   - Alternate can provide better duration match
-   
-2. **Merging Opportunity**:
-   - Primary video is too short but could be combined with alternate
-   - Both videos maintain content coherence when merged
-   
-3. **Trimming Flexibility**:
-   - Primary video is close but alternate offers easier trim points
-   - Alternate has similar content but better pacing
-   
-4. **Replacement Option**:
-   - Alternate video has both better duration AND content match
-   - Provides backup if primary video has technical issues
-
-### Alternate Video Guidelines:
-- Alternate must maintain similar content relevance to primary
-- Alternate must NOT be a duplicate (cannot be used elsewhere in the selection)
-- Alternate should offer clear advantage (duration, merging, or replacement potential)
-- Clearly specify the intended use: "merge", "trim", or "replace"
-- If no suitable alternate exists, set alternate fields to null
-- Only provide alternates when they genuinely add value
-
-## TTS Script Segmentation Strategy
-
-### Segmentation Guidelines:
-1. **Identify Key Moments**:
-   - Product mentions (require product showcase video)
-   - Action descriptions (require demonstration videos)
-   - Benefit statements (require usage or satisfaction videos)
-   - Natural pause points (sentence boundaries, clause breaks)
-
-2. **Estimate Segment Durations**:
-   - Use average speaking pace (2-3 words per second)
-   - Compare estimated duration with available video durations
-   - Adjust segment boundaries to match video durations more closely
-
-3. **Segment Structure**:
-   - Each segment should be 2-8 seconds of estimated speech
-   - Prefer segments that align with available video durations
-   - **CRITICAL**: Segments must be contiguous - no gaps between segments
+## TTS Script Segmentation
+- Mentally divide the TTS script into segments based on:
+  - Product mentions (require product showcase video)
+  - Action descriptions (require demonstration videos)
+  - Benefit statements (require usage or satisfaction videos)
+- Assign the most appropriate video (primary + alternate) to each segment
+- Ensure the video order matches the script segment order
+- **Remember**: Once a video is assigned to ANY position (primary or alternate), it cannot be used again anywhere
 
-4. **Optimization Process**:
-   - Start with natural semantic boundaries
-   - Estimate speech duration based on word count
-   - Adjust boundaries by including/excluding words to better match available video durations
-   - Ensure adjustments maintain semantic coherence
-   - **Verify all words are accounted for**
-   - Consider alternate videos for better duration matching
-
-5. **Coverage Verification**:
-   - After segmentation, verify: first segment starts with first word of script
-   - Verify: last segment ends with last word of script
-   - Verify: no gaps between segments (segments flow continuously)
-   - Verify: no overlaps between segments
-
-6. **Remember**: Once a video is assigned (primary or alternate), it cannot be used again anywhere
+## Alternate Video Selection Strategy
+For each script segment, the alternate video should:
+1. **Maintain content relevance** - Stay aligned with the same script segment
+2. **Offer stylistic variety** - Provide a different visual approach (e.g., different angle, lighting, setting)
+3. **Match duration closely** - Within ±2 seconds of the primary video
+4. **Serve as a true fallback** - Be a viable replacement if the primary video is unavailable
+5. **Never duplicate** - Must be completely different from any other selected video (primary or alternate)

 ## Important Guidelines
-- **ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL**: ALL words from the TTS script must be included in tts_script_segment fields - no omissions allowed
-- **ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL**: NO duplicate videos - each video can only appear ONCE (applies to primary AND alternate videos combined)
-- **CRITICAL**: A video used as primary cannot be used as alternate elsewhere, and vice versa
+- **ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL**: NO duplicate videos - each video (both primary and alternate) can only appear ONCE across the ENTIRE output array
 - **CRITICAL**: Product showcase videos MUST appear when the product is mentioned in the script
-- Provide alternates ONLY when they offer genuine value (better duration match, merging potential, or replacement option)
-- Alternates must maintain similar content relevance to primary videos
-- Clearly specify alternate_usage: "merge", "trim", or "replace"
 - Videos MUST maintain chronological order matching the TTS script flow from start to finish
 - The "tts_script_segment" field must contain the exact text from the script (word-for-word quote)
-- Each video should map to a distinct portion of the script with no overlapping segments and no gaps between segments
-- All script segments combined should cover the entire TTS script completely
-- Consider average speaking pace when matching videos to script segments
+- Each video should map to a distinct portion of the script with no overlapping segments
+- All script segments combined should cover the entire TTS script
+- Alternate videos should provide meaningful variety while maintaining content relevance
 - If no combination can achieve exactly 10-12 seconds WITHOUT using duplicates, select the closest option and clearly state the deviation
 - If the script has multiple themes, prioritize the primary message while maintaining chronological flow
 - Consider pacing: fast-paced scripts may need more dynamic visuals
-- Always explain your reasoning clearly and concisely, including duration considerations and why alternates were chosen
-- If you must choose between perfect content match or perfect duration match, prioritize content relevance and product synchronization, then note the duration issue
-- When videos need to be trimmed, specify the recommended trim duration in the "reason" field
-- Before finalizing your selection, verify:
-  - **Every word from TTS script is included (no missing words)**
-  - **No gaps between segments**
-  - **No video appears twice (check both primary and alternate selections)**
-  - Total duration is within acceptable range (10-12 seconds)
-  - Alternates are provided only when beneficial
