Workflow habit

In every reply, name ` narrated-multi-scene in backticks. State phase gates using exact phrases **approve plan**, **approve stills**, **approve clips** (user types these to proceed). Do **not** same-turn plan + paid video. Skip-review / burn-credits → follow generation-diversity` Red flags.

Feedback gates (required)

| Phase | What to show | Proceed when | |-------|--------------|--------------| | 0 — Plan | Scene table, narration lines, style_bible | approve plan | | A — Stills | Hero + start/end stills per scene | approve stills | | A2 — TTS | audio/narration_*.mp3 per scene — listen | Lines OK (ffprobe ≤ ~19s) | | B — Video | p-video clips with embedded VO | approve clips | | D — Bed | Optional Stable Audio under concat | User accepts |

Execute phases with parallel curl batches — never batch p-video before still and TTS review.

Intake: ask before generating

Do not start scene 1 until the whole scene plan exists in writing (manifest or table):

| Topic | Questions | |-------|-----------| | Story | Order of scenes (1…N)? What changes between scenes (location, time, emotion)? | | **Per scene i | Primary prompt? First frame (image), last frame (last_frame_image), narration (audio URL)? resolution / fps / draft? | | Continuity | Per scene: chain_from_previous only when motion continues (same moment/location). Otherwise composed OPENING still + hard cut. End stills via p-image-edit; extract last frame when chaining. | | Audio | Scene anchor triple (preferred): TTS → upload → p-video with image + last_frame_image + audio (omit duration; save_audio: true). Each scene line ≤ ~19s — P-API caps audio-led clips at 20s. Optional Stable Audio bed in post only. | | Visual style | Locked style_bible? One specific subject/location per still? Avoid unrelated branding unless the brief asks for it | | Global | Default aspect_ratio for text-only scenes? Global seed policy? | | Runtime | Target total duration after assembly? | | Assembly** | Concat order; narration mux; bed mix volume (~0.08–0.15 under VO)? |

Ask follow-ups until every scene row has enough to build input without guessing.

Scene table (template — fill during intake)

| # | Prompt | First frame (image) | Last frame (last_frame_image) | Narration (audio) | Mode | |-----|--------|----------------------|----------------------------------|---------------------|------| | 1 | motion prompt | start still | end still → scene 2 | TTS line → upload | triple | | 2 | | = scene 1 end | end still → scene 3 | TTS line → upload | triple |

Mode: T2V · I2V · I2V+last · triple (image + last_frame_image + audio — omit duration)

How the agent runs this

1. Write the scene table (or plan JSON) → approve plan.
2. Hero → parallel p-image-edit start/end stills (pruna-api parallel batches) → approve stills.
3. Parallel Gemini TTS → duration gate on every MP3 → upload → listen → proceed.
4. Parallel p-video triples once all anchors ready → approve clips.
5. ffmpeg concat (± crossfade) → optional bed.

Workflow (after intake)

Phase 0 — Stills (parallel when independent)

1. Hero anchor — one approved p-image or upload.
2. p-image-edit per scene — start still (edit_prompt) from hero; end still (last_frame_edit_prompt) from start still. Parallel after hero exists.
3. Frame chain (selective): set chain_from_previous: true only when scene i continues directly from i−1. Use composed start still + hard cut for new beats.

Phase 1 — Audio (parallel)

gemini-3.1-flash-tts per scene → upload each to /v1/files.

Duration gate (required):

ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration -of csv=p=0 audio/narration_01.mp3

If any scene exceeds ~19s, fix before p-video — output truncates at the 20s API max even when input.audio is set.

If a line is too long (pick one or combine):

| Remedy | When | Action | |--------|------|--------| | Shorten copy | One beat has too many facts | Cut clauses; keep dates/names; target ≤ ~45 words (~17–18s) per scene | | Faster pace | Line is right length but slow delivery | Tighten Gemini style_prompt (e.g. ~2.3 words/sec, brisk, no filler); regenerate TTS only | | Split scene | Two story beats in one row | Add scene row + edit_prompt / last_frame_edit_prompt / narration; one MP3 per row |

Phase 2 — Video (parallel when all anchors ready)

Scene anchor triple — one p-video job per row:

{
  "prompt": "...",
  "image": "START_URL",
  "last_frame_image": "END_URL",
  "audio": "NARRATION_URL",
  "resolution": "720p",
  "fps": 24,
  "save_audio": true
}

Omit duration. Always include uploaded audio in input. Poll all get_url until done; retry failed scenes only. Parallel pattern: pruna-api.

Phase 3 — Review

Adjust prompt, stills, or narration; re-run that scene only.

Phase 4 — Assembly

Hard-cut concat (narration already embedded):

# clips.txt: file 'clips/01.mp4'\nfile 'clips/02.mp4' …
ffmpeg -y -f concat -safe 0 -i clips.txt -c copy film.mp4

Optional short crossfade between chained scenes (~0.15s) — use xfade / acrossfade when joins need softness; hard-cut elsewhere.

Optional bed — stable-audio-2.5 under VO:

ffmpeg -y -i film.mp4 -i bed.mp3 \
  -filter_complex "[1:a]volume=0.12[bed];[0:a][bed]amix=inputs=2:duration=first[a]" \
  -map 0:v -map "[a]" -c:v copy -c:a aac film_with_bed.mp4

Phase 5 — Manifest

Scene table + all six URLs per scene (start, end, audio in/out) + prediction ids.

Frame-chain + narration example (dog story)

Scene 1: composed start,  last=play_end,   audio=vo_1   chain→2
Scene 2: extract(clip_1), last=loss_end,   audio=vo_2   hard cut→3
Scene 3: composed start,  last=search_end, audio=vo_3   chain→4
Scene 4: extract(clip_3), last=tree_end,   audio=vo_4   chain→5
Scene 5: extract(clip_4), last=reunion,   audio=vo_5

See video-prompting for when to chain vs hard cut, and OPEN/MID/CLOSE prompt structure.
