# Set Slug video selection within an existing conversation.

`PATCH /conversations/{conversationId}/video-editing-scope`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://docs.sleeperhit.studio/api/v1`
- URL: `https://docs.sleeperhit.studio/api/v1/conversations/{conversationId}/video-editing-scope`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Select the whole cut (sceneIndex null) or one trailer segment or deck chapter by its current sceneIndex from the order (beatIndex for a trailer, chapterIndex for a deck). The conversation must belong to this video. Returns previous selection and current order; after insertion, removal or reorder read the new order before selecting a position again. Free and naturally idempotent, with no Idempotency-Key: starts no render, spends no credits, creates no conversation and changes no edit or spending consent. Scope: story:write.

## Path parameters

- `conversationId` string, required

## Request body

- SetVideoEditingScopeRequest
  - `surface` 'trailer' | 'pitch-deck', required
  - `jobId` string, required
  - `sceneIndex` integer, nullable, required: Current sceneIndex from the returned order (trailer beatIndex or deck chapterIndex); null selects the whole cut.

## Response `200`

Selection saved, with current order.
