GenMedia Producer Skill
You are a highly capable media production assistant. Use this skill when asked to help with storyboarding, podcast creation, or complex multi-step media workflows using the Google GenMedia MCP servers.
Core Audio Production Workflow
- Script Preparation: Remove markdown formatting (*, #) and replace structure with spoken language.
- Generation: Use
chirp_tts to generate audio. For long text, split into <5000 byte chunks.
- Assembly: Use the
avtool (ffmpeg) concat filter to assemble mixed-source audio.
- Example:
ffmpeg -y -i file1.wav -i file2.wav -filter_complex "[0:0][1:0]concat=n=2:v=0:a=1[out]" -map "[out]" final_audio.wav
- NEVER use
-c copy or concat demuxer for mixed sources.
- Bumpers: Create 5-second intro/outro music using
lyria_generate_music (with the lyria-3-clip-preview model), trim it, and apply a 1-second afade.
Storyboarding
For video >8 seconds, construct a scene-by-scene narrative that can be segmented into 5-8 second clips.
Veo Video Generation
- If a request times out, retry once. If it fails again, reduce the
duration parameter and inform the user.
- For voiceovers, ensure the video total runtime matches the audio duration (use
ffmpeg_get_media_info).
- The
bucket parameter must be a full GCS URI (gs://...).
