name: render-brand-identity-reveal
description: Render a 'brand identity reveal' video from a config — a single poster frame in a real, softly-lit space (real wall, soft-focus plant in the corner, dappled leaf shadow, illuminated poster) whose artwork HARD-CUTS through ~10 on-brand poster mockups (hero product, IG post, hanging banners, sticker sheet, logo lockup, poster, two lifestyle stills, packaging, big icon) then holds on a brand end card. The environment plate is one create-image-fal generation; the mockups are real-DOM HTML frame-stepped via Playwright, perspective-composited into the detected frame quad with the plate's real leaf-shadow multiplied back onto each poster (reads as behind glass), sequenced by FFmpeg. Deterministic assembly, FREE (the plate comes from create-image-fal, the bed from create-music-elevenlabs), music bed only and approved brand copy only. Use for the brand-identity-reveal format.

render-brand-identity-reveal
Render the 'brand identity reveal' format from a config. The signature is a single fixed
poster frame in a REAL, softly-lit space (the illuminated poster-frame look of a shop, café,
cinema or metro — the setting and wall are chosen per video): a real wall, a real soft-focus plant in the lower-left corner, dappled
leaf shadow. The artwork INSIDE the frame HARD-CUTS (no crossfade) through 11 beats — 10
on-brand poster mockups + a brand END CARD held ~3s. Music bed only, NO voiceover; copy is
baked into each mockup, never overlaid as captions.
This capability is the FREE assembly only. The paid parts are separate generic
capabilities the recipe names — create-image-fal (the one-shot environment plate) and
create-music-elevenlabs (the bed). Never re-implement them here.
Choices
The calling recipe asks the user these before any paid step; this capability only reads them
from config. The worked example (Touchland) values are examples, never defaults.
- setting — where the frame hangs →
config.plate.setting (demo: premium boutique interior).
- wall_style — the wall it is mounted on →
config.plate.wall_style (demo: sage subway tile).
- music — the bed's genre/mood →
config.music.direction (demo: upbeat playful pop).
Three layers
- Environment plate (PAID,
create-image-fal, flux-pro ultra, 9:16) — an empty lit
poster frame in a real space, high-res so the camera can be pushed closer by cropping.
Pick a wall color that makes the brand's poster colors POP (complement of the dominant hue).
- Mockups (FREE) — real-DOM HTML/CSS (
scene.html), one poster per beat, built from the
brand's real assets + approved copy, frame-stepped via Playwright (render_art.py, bare
mode, device_scale_factor 2).
- Composite (FREE) —
measure_frame.py detects the blank poster interior quad;
composite.py perspective-warps each poster into it AND multiplies the plate's real
leaf-shadow/light back onto the poster (so it reads as behind glass) + a glass sheen;
build_video.sh sequences the frames with the music bed.
Inputs
config.json — copy scripts/config.example.json (the Touchland worked example) and edit
(canvas, plate prompt + setting + wall_style from the user's choices, camera crop, per-beat durations, end-card copy). Schema + per-file working-dir
layout are documented in scripts/PIPELINE.md.
- The brand's REAL product/packaging/lifestyle stills, wordmark, and icon (recreate the icon
as an SVG
<mask> if the only source has an occluding element). Approved copy only.
Workflow (free assembly)
CAP=skills/ads/capabilities/render-brand-identity-reveal
RUN=<project>/working # holds scene.html + assets/ + the create-image-fal plate in bg/
python3 $CAP/scripts/recrop.py 0.72 0.13 # camera distance (bigger frac = bigger frame); src = first bg/plate_*.png
python3 $CAP/scripts/measure_frame.py # detect the blank poster interior quad
python3 $CAP/scripts/render_art.py # render each poster standalone (Playwright, dsf 2)
python3 $CAP/scripts/composite.py # warp into frame + shadow multiply + sheen
bash $CAP/scripts/build_video.sh $RUN/concat.txt $RUN/music.mp3 out.mp4 13.05 1.0
Then watch the master (music-only, every poster legible, shadow falls across the art, end
card holds). See scripts/PIPELINE.md for adapting scene.html per brand.
Rules
- Approved brand copy ONLY — never invent claims, customers, results, or testimonials.
- Toggle beats with OPACITY, not
display (a per-state display:flex silently overrides a
display:none toggle and paints one state over all others).
- Camera distance = re-crop the high-res plate (
recrop.py), don't regenerate.
- The realism trick = MULTIPLY the plate's real shadow/light back onto each composited poster.
- Music bed only, no VO. Close on the brand end card.
Failure Modes
- Every rendered frame identical → a per-beat
display: rule beat the visibility toggle; use
opacity.
- Playwright
evaluate(fn, arg) didn't switch state in a loop → bake the beat index into the
JS string and return the applied state to assert it.
- Composited poster looks pasted-on → you skipped the shadow multiply (shadow_strength ~0.85).
- Studio product won't cut out (white cap == seamless bg) → present as a photo-tile, don't
corner-flood-fill.
- Playwright missing under node → use the python playwright + cached chromium.
