render-absurdist-explainer
Assemble an absurdist animated-explainer video ad (~38s, 9:16) from per-scene i2v clips + their measured VO windows — retime each clip to its VO, re-encode every segment to identical 30fps/libx264/yuv420p so the concat demuxer never drops frames, concat, build a REAL-product PIL end card (never AI) held static, mix VO (loudnorm I=-14) under music (loudnorm I=-26, volume 0.62, amix normalize=0), and burn libass captions last. FREE deterministic assembly (bash-free, Python + ffmpeg + PIL); the recipe supplies the clips, VO, music, product photo, palette, and caption table and gates the paid keyframe/clip/VO/music calls to their own capabilities. Use for the absurdist-explainer format.

# render-absurdist-explainer
The free, deterministic renderer for the **absurdist-explainer** video ad format — an
animated spot that explains one problem and how the product fixes it. The format is the
mechanics: show the problem in a funny, exaggerated cartoon way, teach the product's
ownable mechanism visually, show what the problem costs, bring the product in, land the
fix as the climax, pay it off, end on a real-product card. One narrator voice carries the
whole spot. *How* the story is told (problem → fix, how it works, a day in the life, the
product as hero, or a villain arc) is the user's choice, made upstream. This capability
is the **FREE assembly stage only**. All generative work (nano-banana keyframes, Seedance
i2v clips, ElevenLabs VO + music) happens upstream in the recipe and is handed to this
capability as files.
It ports the compose recipe validated on two earlier reference runs (both happened to
