s3AccessKeyId: your-access-key
s3SecretAccessKey: your-secret-key
s3BucketName: your-bucket-name
s3PublicUrlBase: https://your-custom-domain.com  # Optional
```

## 📁 File Organization

Files are organized in your S3 bucket:
- `videos/` - Downloaded video files
- `audio/` - Extracted audio files
- `transcripts/` - Transcript text files
- `thumbnails/` - Thumbnail images

## 🔒 Security & Privacy
