Reddit Post Over Gameplay

Status: golden showcase

This is the default Reddit story mode for generic "Reddit story", "AITA video", or "Subway Surfers Reddit" requests.

Use this as the default Reddit/story visual lane. The tracked demo is promoted because the current render passes publish-prep, including OCR caption-sync on the boxed phrase-caption treatment.

Runnable Request

Ask an installed agent:

Use Content Machine from .content-machine to make a
reddit-post-over-gameplay short from this story. Keep gameplay
full-screen, show a Reddit opener card for 3-5 seconds, continue
captions directly over gameplay, write artifacts under
runs/reddit-story-demo, and only call it ready if publish-prep passes.

Command form:

cat <<'JSON' | npx --no-install cm-agent run-flow
{
  "flowsDir": ".content-machine/flows",
  "flow": "generate-short",
  "runId": "reddit-story-demo",
  "input": {
    "topic": "AITA-style story about a roommate hiding a fake job offer",

Shape

• full-screen gameplay from frame one
• Reddit post card over gameplay for the first 3s to 5s
• no top lane, no stock footage, no generated story-support clips
• narration captions continue over gameplay after the opener
• gameplay may jump-cut to keep cadence, but it stays the only video background

Use These Skills

• reddit-post-over-gameplay-short
• reddit-card-overlay
• motion-design-coder
• short-form-captions
• publish-prep-review

Use motion-design-coder for the Reddit opener card animation only: card entrance, slight scale/settle, award/upvote emphasis, and clean exit back to gameplay. Do not add random motion layers or stock clips.

Current Proving Run

• Embedded demo MP4: docs/demo/demo-9-reddit-post-over-gameplay.mp4
• Local full-quality proving MP4: experiments/proving-wave-3/reddit-post-over-gameplay/outputs/final/video.mp4

Review status:

• passed: resolution, duration, format, cadence, audio signal, OCR caption-sync

The visual mode is correct: the render contains only gameplay, a Reddit opener card, boxed phrase captions, and audio. This is the default story/gameplay example to copy first.

Reject Rules

• reject any random B-roll, stock clip, receipt lane, or generated scene
• reject black gutters or boxed gameplay
• reject a buggy fake Reddit card
• reject silent or music-only output when narration is expected
• reject captions outside social safe zones
