BlitzReels Carousels

Build a carousel project and export individual slide images. Do not assume platform ranking behavior or hardcode a generation model or price.

Workflow

1. Confirm platform, aspect ratio, slide count, source material, and whether text should be baked into the slides.
2. Draft one purpose per slide: hook, ordered value, and final action when relevant.
3. Create a project with project_type: "carousel" and current platform-safe metadata.
4. Load the current carousel-generation schema from OpenAPI.
5. Choose the build path.
   • Use one-call generation for prompted, solid, gradient, or mixed backgrounds.
   • Use media import plus timeline placement when every image already exists and manual control is needed.
6. If generation returns a job ID, poll it to a terminal state before preview or export.
7. Read timeline context and render representative slides. Check order, crop, text wrapping, contrast, and safe areas.
8. Fix the project, then export a ZIP of slide images unless the user explicitly requests a video.
9. Poll the export and verify the archive format and slide count.
