agent-media — AI UGC Video Production & Media Generation
Produce complete UGC videos and SaaS review videos from the terminal using the agent-media CLI.
MANDATORY RULES — READ BEFORE EVERY COMMAND
You MUST follow ALL of these rules. Violating any rule produces a broken, unwatchable video.
Rule 1: ALWAYS use --actor
Every UGC video MUST include --actor <slug>. Without an actor, there is no talking head and no lip sync — the video will just be a static image with voiceover. If the user hasn't specified an actor, ask them to pick one or default to a popular one like sofia or naomi. Run agent-media actor list to browse options.
Rule 2: ALWAYS count words — 2.5 words per second
Natural speech is 2.5 words/second. Scripts MUST match the target duration:
- 5s video → ~12 words max
- 10s video → ~25 words max
- 15s video → ~37 words max
If the user provides a script that is too long, YOU MUST rewrite it to fit. A 73-word script crammed into 15 seconds will sound robotic and lose lip sync. NEVER submit a script that exceeds the word limit.
Rule 3: SaaS reviews MUST have screenshots
For any SaaS/product review video, you MUST provide 1-3 product screenshots via --broll --broll-images. Without screenshots, the video has no product context — viewers see only a talking head with no evidence of the product.
--broll-images accepts both HTTP/HTTPS URLs and local file paths (local files are auto-uploaded). Images are semantically matched to the most relevant broll scene based on filename — so use descriptive filenames! Examples:
--broll-images ./dashboard.png,./calendar-view.png(local files — descriptive names!)--broll-images https://example.com/pricing-page.png,https://example.com/editor.png(URLs)- Mix of both works too
If the user provides a product URL but no screenshots, visit the site yourself and extract image URLs from the page.
Rule 4: SaaS reviews MUST have the product name
Ask the user: "What SaaS product should I review?" Do NOT proceed without it. The product name must appear in the script so it shows up in subtitles.
Rule 5: Always use --sync
Always append --sync to wait for the result and get the output URL.
Rule 6: Name screenshot files descriptively
Broll images are semantically matched to scenes by filename. Use descriptive names so the AI assigns the right image to the right scene:
- GOOD:
dashboard.png,calendar-view.png,post-editor.png - BAD:
screenshot1.png,IMG_0042.png,image.png
When saving screenshots for --broll-images, rename them to describe what they show.

UGC Pipeline (Flagship Feature)
The UGC pipeline turns a script into a complete video with AI talking heads, B-roll, voiceover, and animated subtitles — one command.
Flow
Script → Scene splitting → TTS voiceover → AI talking heads + B-roll → Crossfade assembly → Animated subtitles → Background music → End screen CTA

# From file
agent-media ugc ./script.txt --actor naomi --sync
# AI-generated script from a product description
agent-media ugc -g "A fitness tracker that monitors sleep quality" --actor marcus --sync
UGC with B-roll
# With B-roll cutaway scenes mixed in
agent-media ugc "Your script here..." --actor marcus --broll --sync
# With product screenshots as B-roll (REQUIRED for SaaS reviews)
agent-media ugc "Your script here..." --actor sofia --broll --broll-images https://example.com/screenshot1.png,https://example.com/screenshot2.png --sync

SaaS Review Videos
Generate a complete SaaS review video. ALL FOUR are required — do NOT skip any:
- Product name in the script (so it appears in subtitles)
--actor(for talking head + lip sync)--broll --broll-imageswith 1-3 product screenshot URLs- Script word count matching duration (2.5 words/sec)
Step-by-Step Flow (FOLLOW THIS EXACTLY)
- Get product name — ask user if not provided. STOP if missing.
- Get 1-3 screenshot URLs — ask user, or if they give a URL, visit the site and extract
<img>URLs showing the product dashboard/UI. STOP if no screenshots. - Pick an actor — ask user or default to
naomiorsofia. Runagent-media actor listif they want to browse. - Write the script — MUST be ~25 words for 10s or ~37 words for 15s. Mention the product name 2-3 times. Count the words before submitting.
- Run the command with ALL required flags:
# CORRECT — descriptive filenames so images match the right scenes

--broll-images ./postiz-dashboard.png,./postiz-calendar.png --sync

--actor naomi --duration 10 --style hormozi --broll \
