Generates a cinematic product launch video (MP4) from a product description and launch context. 5-section narrative arc — Tease, Build, Reveal, Proof, CTA — rendered as HTML/CSS in headless Chromium via Playwright, assembled with FFmpeg. 4 tone presets. 30/60/90 second durations. Trigger when user says "product launch video", "launch video", "product reveal video", "cinematic product video", "product announcement video", or "launch day video".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# vid-product-launch

Generates a narrative MP4 product launch video from a product description and launch context.
Pipeline: HTML/CSS animations → headless Chromium (Playwright, frame-by-frame) → FFmpeg (H.264 MP4).
No React. No AI video APIs. No Python. Zero runtime cost beyond Playwright + FFmpeg.

## Critical Rules (read before every generation)

1. **The tagline is not optional. Do not skip it.** It is the product's entire promise in 4–6 words. If the user did not provide it, derive one from the description — a sharp, active-voice distillation. Never write "[tagline here]" or leave it blank.

2. **The reveal moment must feel earned.** The tease and build sections exist to create tension. If the product name appears in the first 20% of the video, the narrative collapses. Never reveal the product name before the Reveal section.

3. **product_name font size: minimum 120px for 16:9, minimum 80px for 9:16.** The name must be the largest element at the reveal moment. If it isn't dominant, the reveal fails.

4. **One proof stat. Not a list.** If the user provides multiple stats, pick the strongest one. A list of 5 numbers destroys the punch. One oversized number creates it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add varnan-tech/opendirectory/vid-product-launch@sha256:7de0fb5c0d51481b

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
