Muapi Director

Turn ONE topic, talking-head video, or photo into a finished Vox-style paper-collage explainer / ad video on the MuAPI platform (api.muapi.ai) + local ffmpeg — script, collage keyframes, motion, voice-over, music, captions, all automated. Three input modalities: a topic (B-roll), a talking-head video (A-roll mode), or a single photo of a person/product anchored into the collage (C-roll mode).

MuAPI Director

Turn a topic, talking-head video, or photo into a finished Vox-style paper-collage video: a bold, punchy, narrated explainer/ad where each beat is a torn-paper collage poster that comes alive, with voice-over, music and captions. Powered by MuAPI (MUAPI_API_KEY) + local ffmpeg.

Input Modalities

B-roll (topic → film): Pass a topic (e.g. "A brief history of Silicon Valley"). It drafts a script, builds keyframe posters, animates them, synthesizes narration/BGM, and assembles the video.
A-roll (talking-head video → collage): Pass a presenter talking-head recording. It runs ASR, segments the transcript, and re-styles the video into paper-collage graphics while preserving facial features, lip-sync, and gestures frame-for-frame.
C-roll (one photo → collage): Pass a selfie or product shot. The subject is cut out as an unedited photographic sticker, anchored into generated collage posters per beat, and animated.

Prerequisites

MUAPI_API_KEY set in your environment (get one from https://muapi.ai).
ffmpeg + ffprobe installed on system path.
Python 3 with Pillow (pip install pillow).
