agent-media — AI UGC Video Production & Media Generation

Produce complete UGC videos and SaaS review videos from the terminal using the agent-media CLI.

MANDATORY RULES — READ BEFORE EVERY COMMAND

You MUST follow ALL of these rules. Violating any rule produces a broken, unwatchable video.

Rule 1: ALWAYS use --actor

Every UGC video MUST include --actor <slug>. Without an actor, there is no talking head and no lip sync — the video will just be a static image with voiceover. If the user hasn't specified an actor, ask them to pick one or default to a popular one like sofia or naomi. Run agent-media actor list to browse options.

Rule 2: ALWAYS count words — 2.5 words per second

Natural speech is 2.5 words/second. Scripts MUST match the target duration:

• 5s video → ~12 words max
• 10s video → ~25 words max
• 15s video → ~37 words max

If the user provides a script that is too long, YOU MUST rewrite it to fit. A 73-word script crammed into 15 seconds will sound robotic and lose lip sync. NEVER submit a script that exceeds the word limit.

Rule 3: SaaS reviews MUST have screenshots

For any SaaS/product review video, you MUST provide 1-3 product screenshots via --broll --broll-images. Without screenshots, the video has no product context — viewers see only a talking head with no evidence of the product.

--broll-images accepts both HTTP/HTTPS URLs and local file paths (local files are auto-uploaded). Images are semantically matched to the most relevant broll scene based on filename — so use descriptive filenames! Examples:

• --broll-images ./dashboard.png,./calendar-view.png (local files — descriptive names!)
• --broll-images https://example.com/pricing-page.png,https://example.com/editor.png (URLs)
• Mix of both works too

If the user provides a product URL but no screenshots, visit the site yourself and extract image URLs from the page.

Rule 4: SaaS reviews MUST have the product name

Ask the user: "What SaaS product should I review?" Do NOT proceed without it. The product name must appear in the script so it shows up in subtitles.

Rule 5: Always use --sync

Always append --sync to wait for the result and get the output URL.

Rule 6: Name screenshot files descriptively

Broll images are semantically matched to scenes by filename. Use descriptive names so the AI assigns the right image to the right scene:

• GOOD: dashboard.png, calendar-view.png, post-editor.png
• BAD: screenshot1.png, IMG_0042.png, image.png

When saving screenshots for --broll-images, rename them to describe what they show.

Prerequisites

The agent-media CLI must be installed and authenticated:

npm install -g agent-media-cli
agent-media login

Verify with agent-media whoami. If not logged in, run agent-media login and follow the OTP flow.

UGC Pipeline (Flagship Feature)

The UGC pipeline turns a script into a complete video with AI talking heads, B-roll, voiceover, and animated subtitles — one command.

Flow

Script → Scene splitting → TTS voiceover → AI talking heads + B-roll → Crossfade assembly → Animated subtitles → Background music → End screen CTA

Basic UGC

# ALWAYS include --actor for talking heads + lip sync
agent-media ugc "Ever wonder why some videos go viral? Here's the secret..." --actor sofia --sync

# From file
agent-media ugc ./script.txt --actor naomi --sync

# AI-generated script from a product description
agent-media ugc -g "A fitness tracker that monitors sleep quality" --actor marcus --sync

UGC with B-roll

# With B-roll cutaway scenes mixed in
agent-media ugc "Your script here..." --actor marcus --broll --sync

# With product screenshots as B-roll (REQUIRED for SaaS reviews)
agent-media ugc "Your script here..." --actor sofia --broll --broll-images https://example.com/screenshot1.png,https://example.com/screenshot2.png --sync

SaaS Review Videos

Generate a complete SaaS review video. ALL FOUR are required — do NOT skip any:

1. Product name in the script (so it appears in subtitles)
2. --actor (for talking head + lip sync)
3. --broll --broll-images with 1-3 product screenshot URLs
4. Script word count matching duration (2.5 words/sec)

Step-by-Step Flow (FOLLOW THIS EXACTLY)

1. Get product name — ask user if not provided. STOP if missing.
2. Get 1-3 screenshot URLs — ask user, or if they give a URL, visit the site and extract <img> URLs showing the product dashboard/UI. STOP if no screenshots.
3. Pick an actor — ask user or default to naomi or sofia. Run agent-media actor list if they want to browse.
4. Write the script — MUST be ~25 words for 10s or ~37 words for 15s. Mention the product name 2-3 times. Count the words before submitting.
5. Run the command with ALL required flags:

# CORRECT — descriptive filenames so images match the right scenes
agent-media ugc "Postiz is the best social media tool I've used. Postiz schedules across twenty-five platforms with AI. Try Postiz today." \
  --actor naomi --duration 10 --style hormozi --broll \
  --broll-images ./postiz-dashboard.png,./postiz-calendar.png --sync

# CORRECT — URLs with descriptive paths work too
agent-media ugc "Postiz is the best social media tool I've used. Postiz schedules across twenty-five platforms with AI. Try Postiz today." \
  --actor naomi --duration 10 --style hormozi --broll \
  --broll-images "https://postiz.com/dashboard-screenshot.png,https://postiz.com/scheduling-view.png" --sync

# WRONG — no actor, no screenshots, script too long
agent-media ugc "Here's how to schedule a post in Postiz step by step..." --sync
