What are content cards, and why not write the script on one page?

A Bardiyah script is written as ordered cards, each card a section of the video: an opening, a point, a close. A card needs a body; the title is optional. New cards are added at the end of the order and can be dragged into place. The reason is that a video is built section by section, and moving a card is easier and safer than cutting and pasting a paragraph inside a long page.

What one card is

Every card needs a body. Its title is optional, and earns its place once you have enough cards that you want to know what is in each without reading it.

A new card is added at the end of the order, and you move it from there.

Why cards rather than one page

A video is not continuous prose; it is a sequence of sections, each doing a job. When those sections are separate cards:

  • Reordering is dragging a card, not cutting a paragraph and repairing what broke around it.
  • Reviewing one section does not lose your place in the rest.
  • The shape of the video is visible before you read a word.

When the script came from an idea

If you converted an idea into this script, the idea's text is already its first card. You do not start from nothing: the opening section exists and you build from it.

Reordering

Drag a card to its new position; the new order for every card is saved immediately.
