skill-tiktok-video-pipeline v2

Full end-to-end pipeline for TikTok product ads. Takes a product_id + script_text and outputs a publish-ready vertical short-form video with captions, optional logo watermark, and background music.

Requirements

• GEMINI_API_KEY env var (for Veo generation)
• ffmpeg on PATH
• uv on PATH (for Python scripts)
• veo3-video-gen skill installed at skills/veo3-video-gen/

Usage

node scripts/generate.js 
  --product-id rain_cloud 
  --script-text "Stop dry air!|Ultrasonic mist|Whisper-quiet|Get yours today" 
  --lang EN

With logo and custom audio

node scripts/generate.js 
  --product-id hydro_bottle 
  --script-text "Hydrogen water|Boosts energy|Pure & clean|Shop now" 
  --lang EN 
  --logo /path/to/brand_logo.png 
  --audio /path/to/bgm.mp3

Arabic (AR) captions

node scripts/generate.js 
  --product-id mini_cam 
  --script-text "صوّر كل لحظة|دقة عالية|خفيف وصغير|اطلب الآن" 
  --lang AR

Dry-run (no API calls, generates dummy video for testing overlay)

node scripts/generate.js 
  --product-id test 
  --script-text "Line 1|Line 2|Line 3" 
  --dry-run

Caption Format

Captions are split by | and timed evenly across the video duration.

Example: "Hook line!|Feature 1|Feature 2|CTA here" → 4 pills, each shown for ~2s on an 8s video.

Pill style: dark semi-transparent box, white text, centered at 75% height.

Default Audio

Place a royalty-free BGM file at assets/bgm_default.mp3 in this skill folder to auto-mix audio in all runs. If no audio is found, the video is output without BGM.

Pipeline Steps Detail

Step 1  Veo 3 generates a 9:16 base MP4           ~60–120s
Step 2  Python overlays timed caption pills         ~5s
Step 3  ffmpeg mixes BGM at 20% volume              ~5s
