Collage B-roll Explainers

Compress a ~5-second voiceover line into one sharp visual idea, then turn it into a premium editorial paper-collage assembly animation.

Default pipeline:

1. Design the visual metaphor only, then wait for the user to confirm
2. Generate the final still frame only, then wait for the user to confirm
3. Automatically generate the video with first/last-frame references and run QA
4. Optionally generate a fitted voiceover and mux it in

The two confirmation gates are part of the workflow, not overhead. They let the user spend their attention on aesthetics and direction, and prevent a wrong metaphor or a wrong still from burning video-generation cost.

Runtime requirements

• MaxFusion MCP connected and authenticated (https://mcp.maxfusion.ai/mcp). All image, video, and speech generation runs through it. If it is not connected, stop and walk the user through connecting before doing anything else.
• Local file access and ffmpeg (e.g. Claude Code): frame preparation, video QA, silent delivery, and voiceover fitting download assets and process them locally. A sandboxed agent (no local downloads) can still run all three gates and display results in the MaxFusion widget, but must tell the user that frame preparation falls back to prompt-only color matching and that frame-by-frame self-QA, audio stripping, and voiceover fitting were skipped — the user should judge the clip by eye and mute it in their editor.
