Script anchoring
Editing decisions are attached to words in the script rather than to timestamps in a file. Cut a take, re-voice a line or swap a presenter and the captions, b-roll and effects move with the words.

Why it matters
It is the difference between a template you can re-run and an edit you rebuild. Every re-run of the same reference format stays consistent because the relationships are semantic, not positional.
Where it shows up in Hypit
In Hypit, during={script.selection.name} binds a track item to a selection, so timing resolves from the script at render time.

FAQ
Is script anchoring specific to Hypit?
The idea is general to video workflows; the way it is expressed here follows how Hypit models projects, so the term maps to something you can actually edit.
Where can I see it in practice?
The quickstart walks through a full clone, and the clone-format pages show the same concept used in a real structure.
Do I need the paid API for this?
No. The agent tooling is free and open source; the managed API is optional.
