render-creator-pip-listicle

Assemble a creator picture-in-picture product listicle ad from a config: an AI creator counts down N products in the brand's own voice, and the creator stays FULL-FRAME the whole time — there is NO cut to a full-frame product shot, ever. On each product beat, three persistent overlays ride on top of the full-frame creator for the WHOLE beat: (1) a title pill top-center (persistent, it carries the listicle title), (2) the DEMO in a rounded PiP window top-right — the brand's real UGC clip (MUTED), or for a no-UGC brand the product's own demo (a real screen-recording, or an autocropped high-res product-UI/dashboard still sized to fill the window), and (3) a product card pinned bottom (rounded thumbnail left + "N · CATEGORY" small-caps + product NAME in a serif face like Georgia). Hook + CTA beats are the creator full-frame with the title pill only (no PiP/card). The creator's voice + lips are generated together, natively per beat — there is no separate voiceover. This capability is the FREE, deterministic assembly — build the per-beat overlay PNG, cover-scale the creator clip + composite the overlay, concat all beats, and burn the captions.

scripts/config.example.json is the worked example (DIBS Beauty "5 products that replaced my whole makeup bag", ~46s 1080×1920 9:16, a hook + 5 product beats + a CTA); scripts/PIPELINE.md maps every config block to its source step and scripts/README.md documents the free assembly.
