| description | Render an 'Instagram-Live social-proof gallery' video from a config — ~5 real brand product stills each framed as an Instagram-LIVE card (IG gradient-ring avatar, username, verified check, red LIVE badge, viewer count, close X, a short claim-free live-comment feed, an empty 'Add a comment…' bar, and reaction hearts floating up the right edge), with a brand-approved benefit sentence building one phrase per slide and a clean logo endcard, rendered deterministically with PIL frames plus FFmpeg — FREE (the music bed comes from create-music-elevenlabs), products and wordmark stay crisp. Use for the ig-live-gallery format. |

render-ig-live-gallery
Render the ig-live-gallery format from a config. Each of the brand's REAL hero product
stills is presented as the "live video" inside an authentic Instagram-Live card — dark
gradient scrims top & bottom over the bright product, an IG gradient-ring avatar + username +
verified check + red LIVE badge + viewer count + close X across the top, a short live-comment
feed + an EMPTY "Add a comment…" bar + heart/share icons across the bottom, and pink/red
reaction hearts floating up the right edge. A benefit sentence builds one short phrase per
slide as the top overlay, and it closes on a clean brand logo card with the payoff line + CTA.
Deterministic and FREE — no generative image/video, no AI-rendered text. The paid music bed is
a separate capability (create-music-elevenlabs) muxed on afterward.
Run
python3 scripts/build.py --config config.json --assets <stills-dir> --out master-silent.mp4
python3 scripts/build.py --config config.json --assets <stills-dir> --stills <dir>
config.example.json is a full worked config (Glossier). Config shape:
username, verified, palette, slide_dur, endcard_dur, crossfadeslides[] — { image, phrase, viewers, comments: [[handle, text], …] } per productendcard — { logo, logo_is_white, payoff, handle, cta }music — { prompt, length_ms, trim_intro_sec } (consumed by create-music-elevenlabs)
Image paths in the config resolve against --assets.
Craft rules (baked into the renderer)
- Center each product on its TOP-HALF silhouette, never the full non-white bbox — the base
drop-shadow otherwise inflates the box and the product reads shifted sideways. The renderer
measures the top 50% of the silhouette with an
L<246 threshold (catches white-product edge
shading too) and centers that midpoint.
- Reaction hearts float up the right edge as a full column and may overlap the centered
product — that's fine; don't shrink them to a thin edge ribbon.
- Comments must be claim-free brand-descriptor vibe (2-3 words, generic handles, NO emoji —
PIL can't render color emoji); the comment INPUT bar stays empty. LIVE badge + viewer count +
hearts are ambient live-stream chrome, not proof claims.
- Endcard is the clean logo card (bg + wordmark + @handle + CTA + payoff), never a model face.
- Real product stills + real wordmark only. Music bed only, no VO.
Output
A silent WxH (default 1080x1920) H.264 master. Generate + mux the create-music-elevenlabs
bed with a short fade in/out + loudnorm (-map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0), then QC with watch.
