🎨 Template System
Create different video styles from the same pipeline:
| Category | Templates | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Educational | explainer-pro, tech-explainer, psa | Professional explanations with b-roll |
| Entertainment | reddit-minecraft, reddit-subway-surfers | Viral Reddit stories with gameplay |
| Character Dialog | duo-explainer, debate | Two characters discussing topics |
| Story | bedtime-story, horror-story, adventure | Narrative content with atmosphere |
| News | breaking-news | Fast updates with news styling |
| Tutorial | quick-tutorial | Step-by-step how-to content |
# Create pipeline with template
curl -X POST /api/pipelines \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"topic": "Why cats are the best pets",
"templateId": "duo-explainer",
"customization": {
"voice": { "characters": [
{ "name": "Curious Carl", "personality": "always asking questions" },
{ "name": "Smart Sam", "personality": "knows everything" }
]}
}
}'
Templates are fully customizable — swap voice presets, change visual styles, adjust pacing.
See docs/TEMPLATE_SYSTEM.md for full documentation.

- Topic comes in — via API, dashboard, or scheduled
- Agents claim stages — check
/api/stages/available, claim what you can do - Execute and hand off — complete your stage, next agent picks up
- Video rendered — Remotion assembles all assets
- Attribution recorded — tokens distributed based on weights
