render-editorial-motion-podcast

render-editorial-motion-podcast is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. It costs 171 tokens per session (1,370 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for assembling short vertical podcast video ads from a configuration file, audio, illustrations, captions, and an end card. It uses static images with predictable zooms and cuts instead of generated video motion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating 9:16 podcast clips with timed illustration beats, audio, hard cuts, burned-in captions, and a PIL-generated end card.
Why use it?
It turns separately prepared audio and artwork into a timed video while avoiding visual drift caused by generated animation or crossfades.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

render-editorial-motion-podcast scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

render-editorial-motion-podcast

Assemble an editorial-motion podcast-clip ad from a config: a real clipped podcast audio line carries the whole narrative and every visual beat is timed to the sentence it describes, in a bold flat 2-tone editorial-illustration look ("a New Yorker spot-illustration that moves"). The motion is not generative video but deterministic ffmpeg ken-burns on static keyframes, so it reads as a printed page that moves. This capability is that FREE, deterministic assembly — the ffmpeg motion, hard-concat, audio mux, caption burn, and PIL end card.

scripts/config.example.json is the worked example (Klarify "Rat Park", ~40.8s 1080×1920 9:16, 6 beats); 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 on the motion layer. The paid inputs are separate: the real podcast MP3 is clipped from source (free ffmpeg) with its Whisper word timings, and one editorial-illustration keyframe per beat (chained ref images so cage/character geometry holds) comes from create-image-fal (Nano Banana). Given the clipped audio + words.json + the per-beat keyframes + the real brand wordmark PNG, render-editorial-motion-podcast renders each keyframe as a ken-burns segment, hard-concats on the beat, muxes the real audio, burns the mid-sentence captions, and composites the PIL end card → the master. Re-cuts reuse the existing audio / keyframes and cost $0.

Contract (the free assembly)

  • A spoken narration carries the whole spot — no generated SONG. Mux the provided narration MP3 (-map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0) — a real clipped podcast line (preferred) OR an approved generated VO (create-vo-elevenlabs). Never a sung/generated track. (Clip-vs-generate is the recipe's STEP-0 intake decision — if no source episode is supplied, ASK the user.)
  • NO generative i2v — deterministic ffmpeg ken-burns only. Animate each static keyframe with zoompan (push-in / pull-back, 1.0→~1.06×, 24fps); Seedance/Kling are photoreal-trained and invent naturalistic middle states that collapse the 2-tone look. Never -loop 1 with zoompan d=N (it balloons the duration); feed a single image and clamp with -t + trim.
  • Hard cuts on the beat — no crossfades. Crossfades ghost two drifting cages through each other; hard-concat each beat's segments and split long beats into micro-cuts (target 8–10 distinct visual moments). Each beat's visual STARTS within ~0.5s of its spoken line.
  • Captions from Whisper word-timestamps, ON only mid-sentence. Burn frosted-subtle captions while the speaker talks; leave silent/reflective beats and the end card uncaptioned. THREE mandatory rules (each bit us in prod — bake them in):
    1. NON-OVERLAP — clamp every line to END before the next STARTS (end = min(last_word_end + ~0.15, next_start - 0.03)). Two boxes must never stack at the same spot; an end-tail bleeding into the next window is the #1 caption bug.
    2. SAFE AREA — captions sit in the lower third, so the keyframe's subject must stay in the upper ~75% (see the recipe's look_pack.caption_safe_area). If a finished keyframe's subject intrudes into the caption band, deterministically shift the subject UP into the empty top space (PIL: paste up ~0.24H onto a canvas pre-filled with the exact paper color from a clean corner) — never let the box sit on the subject.
    3. BURN ENGINE — prefer libass (ass/subtitles filter), but check ffmpeg -filters first: many builds (Homebrew) lack libass/drawtext. If absent, use the deterministic overlay fallback — render each line as a transparent PNG (frosted rounded box + white text, PIL) and composite via the ffmpeg overlay filter with timed enable='between(t,st,en)' windows. Same look, no libass.
  • End card via PIL from the real wordmark PNG — never AI-render brand text. The lockup is composited deterministically (stretched-gradient bg + feathered mascot crop + wordmark + tagline with a system font); a diffusion model garbles a wordmark ("therapits"). The video runs a ~1.5s silent hold past the audio on the end card (fade first/last 0.3s).
  • FFmpeg composite, deterministic, FREE. Ken-burns each keyframe, hard-concat, mux the real audio, burn the captions, hold on the end card → a 1080×1920 h264+aac master. No paid calls.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
