skill-ugc-pipeline v1.2.0
Build your own MakeUGC pipeline. Direct API access — no $300/mo enterprise tier.
Default model: Aurora (fal-ai/creatify/aurora) — locked after A/B test. Aurora produces significantly more realistic lip sync and narration vs alternatives.
What's new in v1.2.0
- B-roll splicing — Kling 2.6 Pro image-to-video generates a cinematic product shot, spliced into the avatar video at a configurable timecode
- UGC filter — grain + handheld shake applied to avatar segments ONLY; product B-roll stays clean and cinematic
- Continuous audio across splice points (no audio gap)
Architecture
product info → [GPT-4o-mini] → script
→ [ElevenLabs] → audio.mp3
avatar image + audio → [fal.ai Aurora] → avatar.mp4
product image → [Kling 2.6 Pro] → broll.mp4
avatar + broll + ugc-filter → [ffmpeg] → final.mp4
audio.mp3 → [OpenAI Whisper] → captions overlay
Full Pipeline (6 steps)
1. Script GPT-4o-mini → spoken script
2. Voice ElevenLabs → audio.mp3
3. Avatar fal-ai/creatify/aurora → talking head MP4
4. B-roll Kling 2.6 Pro image-to-video → product shot
5. Splice ffmpeg: avatar(hook) + broll + avatar(resume) + continuous audio
6. Captions Whisper word-level → overlay.py → final MP4
7. UGC filter grain + handheld shake on avatar ONLY (product shot stays clean)
