Usage

通过 PATH 调用 wrapper，无需拼接脚本路径。

下载图片

pexels-footage \
  --type image \
  --terms "sunset ocean,mountain landscape,forest path" \
  --aspect 16:9 \
  --output-dir ./assets/images \
  [--max-clips 15]

下载视频

pexels-footage \
  --type video \
  --terms "sunset ocean" \
  --aspect 9:16 \
  --output-dir ./video_assets/footage \
  --min-duration 5 \
  --max-duration 30

重要：视频下载一次只允许下载一个（脚本已强制 --max-clips=1），不允许批量下载。下载时应根据 content-check 报告的时长缺口，通过 --min-duration 和 --max-duration 精确匹配所需时长，不要下载远超需求的素材。
