Assemble a two-host fake-podcast skit ad from a config — per-line lipsync clips hard-concatenated in script order, scaled/padded to 1080×1920, WHITE bottom-center captions (up to 5 words per cue, broken on sentence punctuation, word-wrapped to stay in-frame, held at least 0.9s) built from each line's OWN ElevenLabs char-level timestamps (offset by cumulative clip start, never Whisper), and closed on a Playwright/PIL brand end card composited from the real wordmark — never AI-rendered text. This is the FREE deterministic assembly stage (concat + white captions + end card + crf28 encode); the per-line VOs, photoreal gpt-image-2 base stills, expression variants, and lipsync clips come from create-vo-elevenlabs / create-image-gpt-image-fal / create-video-fal. Use for the podcast-skit format.

render-podcast-skit

Assemble a two-host fake-podcast skit ad from a config: a skeptic and a believer at an absurd themed podcast desk do a snappy back-and-forth about the product (the set is deliberately unrelated — that is the joke). Each line is its own lipsync clip so the edit can cut on the dialogue beat (~1.8s avg); this capability is the FREE, deterministic assembly that concatenates those clips, renders the WHITE captions, and appends the brand end card.

scripts/config.example.json is the worked example (Ladder run-02 "Laundromat 2am", ~49s 1080×1920 9:16, ~22 lines); scripts/PIPELINE.md maps every config block to its source step and scripts/README.md documents the free assembly.

Run

This is the FREE, deterministic assembly stage — it spends nothing. The paid inputs are separate capabilities: one ElevenLabs with-timestamps VO per line (one voice per host) via create-vo-elevenlabs; two photoreal base stills at the themed desk plus ~10 expression variants (mouths NEUTRAL/CLOSED, gpt-image-2 quality=high, not nano-banana) via create-image-gpt-image-fal; and one lipsync clip per (still, VO) pair via create-video-fal. Given the per-line clips + their VO timestamps + the brand wordmark SVG, render-podcast-skit walks the scenes in script order, builds the global caption timeline, renders the WHITE captions, hard-concats the clips, auto-appends the end card, and final-encodes crf28 → the master. Re-cuts reuse the existing VOs / stills / clips and cost $0.

Contract (the free assembly)

Dialogue-carried, no music bed by default. The per-line VO is the audio; a podcast skit needs no music (an optional low ambience is a taste call, off by default).
One line = one scene = one hard cut, in script order. Hard-concat the per-line clips in order (scale/pad to 1080×1920, re-encode) — no dissolves.
Captions from the VO's OWN char-level timestamps, not Whisper (script-window). Build a global words.json by offsetting each line's char-level word timings by the cumulative clip start, group into ≤5-word cues broken on sentence-final punctuation, and render WHITE #FFFFFF bottom-center captions (black outline), word-wrapped to stay in-frame and held ≥0.9s — PIL PNG overlays when the host ffmpeg lacks libass (common), else ASS. (Yellow 3-word karaoke was the old style, rejected in testing.) Whisper on the rendered clips mistimes; the VO timestamps are ground truth.
End card via Playwright/PIL from the real wordmark — never AI-render brand text. The lockup is a deterministic HTML → PNG → 2.5s mp4 from the brand's real wordmark SVG (black bg, brand wordmark, CTA pill, URL), auto-appended after the last line. A diffusion model garbles a wordmark.
FFmpeg composite, deterministic, FREE. Concat the clips, overlay the WHITE caption PNGs (or burn ASS via libass), append the end-card mp4, and final-encode -preset slow -crf 28 + aac 96k → a 1080×1920 h264+aac master (~6MB for ~28s; the old -crf 20 produced ~16MB). No paid calls, no keys.

create-image-gpt-image-fal

gooseworks-ai/goose-skills

Generate a single photoreal or designed image with OpenAI gpt-image via fal.ai. Supports gpt-image-1 (default, fixed sizes — the FAL fallback for Higgsfield's `gpt_image_2`) and gpt-image-2 (`openai/gpt-image-2`, custom output sizes up to 3840px). Routes to text-to-image or the edit variant depending on whether a reference image is provided. Use for photoreal character anchors, scene keyframes, and designed sheets (e.g. storyboards) where precise layout and legible text matter.

render-cartoon-music-video

gooseworks-ai/goose-skills

Assemble a cartoon / animated / hand-crafted music-video ad from a config — a sung song carries the whole narrative while N per-bar i2v clips (one recurring animated character, one look pack) are each cut to their BAR window from librosa beat-tracking and hard-concatenated on the bar, VEED-whisper white bold-sans captions in the BOTTOM third (Alignment 2, above the logo bug, no pill) burned from the song's word timings re-spelled against the locked lyrics, a persistent brand logo bug held over the body (suppressed on the end card), and closed on a solid-brand-color PIL end card with the song still playing under it — never AI-rendered text. This is the FREE deterministic assembly stage (cut-to-bar + hard concat + logo bug + captions + end card + song mux); the song, character, keyframes, and clips come from create-music-elevenlabs / create-image-fal / create-video-fal. Use for the cartoon-music-video format.

render-cosmic-mythology-voiceover

gooseworks-ai/goose-skills

Assemble a cosmic-mythology-voiceover reel from a config — a warm spoken voiceover carries the whole narrative while N curated cosmic stills are weighted beat-synced across the delivered VO duration (cut_dur = VO_dur times weight over the weight sum, so emotional beats hold longer), Ken-Burns-zoomed per still (scale 2x, center crop, zoompan, fade-in first and fade-out last), ffmpeg-concatenated, the VO composited under the picture (libx264 crf18 plus aac), the ONE on-screen hook line faded on over the open with a drawtext alpha window, and Whisper/VEED captions burned along the bottom — never in-world text on a still. This is the FREE deterministic assembly stage (weighted sequence plus Ken-Burns plus concat plus VO composite plus hook overlay plus caption burn); the VO and the stills come from create-vo-elevenlabs and create-image-fal. Use for the cosmic-mythology-voiceover format.

render-creator-pip-listicle

gooseworks-ai/goose-skills

Assemble a creator picture-in-picture product-listicle ad from a config — the creator stays FULL-FRAME the whole beat (voice plus lips generated together per beat, no separate VO, no cut to a full-frame product shot), and on each product beat three persistent overlays ride on top for the WHOLE beat — a title pill top-center, the DEMO in a rounded PiP window top-right (the brand's real UGC clip MUTED, or for a no-UGC brand the product's own autocropped UI still / screen-recording sized to fill the window), and a bottom product card (rounded thumbnail plus 'N · CATEGORY' small-caps plus product NAME in a serif face). Hook plus CTA beats are the creator full-frame with the title pill only. Assembly builds ONE full-1080x1920 transparent overlay PNG per beat, overlays it on the creator clip (cover-scaled to 1080x1920) for the whole beat keeping the native audio, concats all beats, then burns captions LAST as timed PIL PNG overlays (this ffmpeg has no libass) timed deterministically from the known per-beat script.

render-food-product-sizzle

gooseworks-ai/goose-skills

Assemble a wordless macro-tabletop food-product sizzle ad from a config — normalize fps and SAR across ~4 photorealistic macro clips (hands tearing, flat lay, bite, box hero), concat them, apply a global anti-AI grain pass (eq plus hqdn3d plus noise), composite the audio (a non-diegetic acoustic music bed plus a couple of short diegetic SFX like a snap and a tear placed at measured cue points, loudnorm), composite a STATIC end card entirely in PIL (real logo PNG plus real product PNG plus a serif heritage headline plus a CTA — never AI-rendered text), and burn optional serif stat-callout pills at beats. This is the FREE deterministic assembly stage (normalized concat plus grain plus music and SFX mix plus PIL end card plus callouts); the macro keyframes, i2v clips, and music bed come from create-image-fal, create-video-fal, and create-music-elevenlabs. Use for the food-product-sizzle format.

render-split-screen-creator

gooseworks-ai/goose-skills

Assemble a split-screen creator ad from a config — a two-zone vertical composite where a supplied AI-creator lip-sync take fills the BOTTOM ~48% while real 16:9 product/demo clips run uncropped in the TOP ~52%, each top clip contain-fit with a darkened blurred cover-scale fill of the same clip (never black bars), a 3px brand-color divider between the zones, the creator slice cover-fit per the per-scene VO timing, scenes hard-concatenated with the body audio being the concatenated creator VO slices, an end card held on the last sharp frame ~3s, then the ASSEMBLED cut transcribed with local Whisper (not the raw VO — concat drops inter-scene silence) and word-level captions burned in the chosen style. This is the FREE deterministic assembly + caption stage (two-zone composite + blurred fill + divider + hard-concat + end card + captions); the VO comes from create-vo-elevenlabs, the anchor from create-image-gpt-image-fal, and the whole-VO lip-sync from a paid VEED Fabric 1.0 take (a no-atom upstream input).
