# Propose live video edit

> Propose a change to a live YouTube video. Never edits on its own: proposes Sigma's `update_published_video` exactly as a Sigma turn would, recorded on a Sigma thread, and answers its signed `approval`. Send that to POST /v1/sigma/approvals to apply it; the change is recorded with the video's numbers from before it. The workspace's cost threshold may apply it without a click (`approval.autoApproved`), as after a turn. Free.

  description: >-
    The priced, versioned public API. Every call authenticates with a workspace
    API key (`Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…`), names the project it files its
    output under, and reports what it cost. `GET /v1/capabilities` answers what
    this deployment can serve right now and at what price; anything it reports
    as unavailable answers 503 `capability_unavailable` rather than 404.
