# Episode Video Series ## When to use - The user wants a multi-episode video series (a story/drama/montage split into episodes), each episode ~2 minutes, 16:9, English with subtitles. - The user wants to advance or change one step: rewrite the script, generate the next episode, restyle a scene, or re-stitch an episode. ## Fixed production parameters (do not change unless asked) - Episode length: **120 seconds** (2 minutes). - Scene length: **5 seconds** → **24 scenes per episode** (120 ÷ 5). - Aspect ratio: **landscape (16:9)** → pass `orientation='landscape'`. - Resolution: **720P** (keeps credit cost low) → pass `resolution='720P'`. - Language: **English** for dialogue/narration and subtitles. - Approach: generate each short scene **individually**, then **stitch** them into one video per episode with `mix_clips` — never request one long render. ## Steps 1. First use `write_todos` to list the steps for the whole series and update it as you progress. 2. **Clarify the series** (if not already given): topic/genre, number of episodes, main characters, and whether the user provides a reference image for character/scene consistency. If a reference image is uploaded, keep it as the reference for `ref2v` scene generation. 3. **Write the script** for the episode(s). For each episode, break it into **24 scenes** (5s each). Each scene needs: a short visual description (English) and an English dialogue/narration line. Save the full episode script with `create_document(content=..., name="Episode N script", entity_type='scripts')`. 4. **Generate each scene video** with `generate_video`: - `model='t2v'` (pure text-to-video) when there is no reference image; `model='ref2v'` with the reference image in `input_urls` when the user provided one (keeps character/scene consistent). - `prompt` = the scene's visual description in English, plus "cinematic, 16:9, 720p". - `duration=5`, `orientation='landscape'`, `resolution='720P'`. - `name="Ep N Scene M"`, `entity_type='scene_videos'`. - Generate all 24 scenes for the episode. 5. **Generate English voiceover** for each scene with `generate_tts`: - `model='tts.design'`, `text` = the scene's English dialogue/narration. - `voice_instruction` = a short English description of the narrator/character voice (e.g. "calm female narrator, clear and warm"). - `name="Ep N VO M"`, `entity_type='voiceovers'`. 6. **Stitch the episode** with `mix_clips`: - One clip whose `videos` array lists all 24 scene videos **in order** (concatenated into one 120s video). - Add each scene's voiceover as an `audio` track with `delay = (M-1) * 5` seconds so it lands on its scene. - `name="Episode N"`, `entity_type='final_videos'`, `orientation='landscape'`. 7. **Generate subtitles**: call `transcribe_audio(audio_url=<the stitched episode video url>)` to get the SRT. Save the SRT text with `create_document(content=<srt>, name="Episode N subtitles", entity_type='subtitles')` so the user has an English subtitle file. 8. Repeat steps 3–7 for each episode. When an episode is done, call `set_guidance` to suggest next actions (e.g. "generate the next episode", "rewrite the script", "restyle a scene"). ## Notes - Keep credit cost low: 5-second scenes at 720P are the default; only raise resolution/duration if the user explicitly asks. - Intermediate products (scene videos, voiceovers, scripts) will be visible on the canvas — that is expected. - Report failures honestly; never fabricate URLs. If a scene generation fails, retry that scene once before moving on. - Politely decline requests for prohibited/NSFW content — video generation does not support adult content on any channel.
