Experience Video, text graphics + music bed (paste into Claude Code, Palmier)

Goal: lay the on-brand text graphics over the existing Joe and Monika experience film, and a soft music bed under Monika's affirmations. This is a FIRST PASS, build it, export a rough, Jeff reviews, then we adjust. Use only the credit-free Palmier tools (import_media, add_clips, add_texts, set_keyframes, set_clip_properties, sync_audio, apply_effect, add_captions, get_timeline). Do NOT call generate_video / generate_image / generate_audio / upscale (they cost credits). No em dashes anywhere.

Audio facts (from analysis of the uploaded MP3)

• 0619.MP3 is 219.9 seconds (3:40). Speech begins at about 4.7s after an opening silence.
• Rough pause boundaries (use only if captions are unavailable): 52.7, 55.5, 83.7, 87.0, 94.7 (a 1.5s breath here), 163.3, 172.1, 181.8, then it closes around 218.4.
• ALL audio and music come from our own assets. Do NOT generate audio. The music bed is the existing CLAUDE OUTPUTS/Affirmology/Affirmology_VideoEditKit/audio/music_bed.m4a (the Sonilo bed). If a different bed is wanted, it is generated through our pipeline, not a third-party tool.

STEP 1, import

• The experience film: CLAUDE OUTPUTS/Affirmology/Affirmology_VideoEditKit/v7_current_cut.mp4.
• The voice track to time against: 0619.MP3 (from uploads).
• Music bed: VideoEditKit/audio/music_bed.m4a.
• Title overlay (prebuilt, matches the PDF): Brand/photos/title-overlay-soulsong-16x9.png.

STEP 2, get exact timings

Run add_captions on the experience film (or on 0619.MP3) to produce a timestamped transcript. Place every graphic below at the timecode of its matching spoken line. Report the transcript back so Jeff and I can refine.

STEP 3, text graphics (add_texts on V2, set_keyframes to fade in ~12 frames, hold, fade out)

Style: Cormorant Garamond italic in bright gold #ecd9a8 for the emotional lines, JetBrains Mono uppercase letter-spaced for eyebrows, lower-center, soft shadow for legibility. First-pass set (match to the captions): 1. The overwhelm beat (Joe drowning in tools): SUPER "We drown in tools, and still cannot become who we are." 2. The friend hands over the phone / the reveal: drop the title overlay PNG, AFFIRMOLOGY with "The truth of you, sung back to you." 3. Monika's Sacred Audio and affirmations: place each affirmation line she speaks as a gold SUPER in sync with the audio (Code pulls the exact words and times from the captions, for example "the ceiling was never real," "I am worthy of wealth"). One line at a time, centered, fading with each phrase. 4. The close (peace, the bath): SUPER "Upgrade your subconscious operating system." then the one-orb logo Brand/transparent/Affirmology Logo One Orb Transparent.png.

STEP 4, music bed under Monika's affirmations

From the captions, find the start and end of Monika's affirmation section. Add music_bed.m4a on A2 spanning just that section, low volume (about -18 to -22 dB under the voice), fade in and out at the edges with set_clip_properties / set_keyframes. Do not let it cover the dialogue.

STEP 5, export and iterate

Export a rough (or screenshot the key moments) so Jeff can see placement. Then adjust by prompt: "add the missing X super," "move the title earlier," "lengthen the music bed," "swap in my event footage." Jeff expects to find the gaps on this first run and tune from there.

If we want inserts later

The full gold-plate and animation library is in Brand/photos/ and Brand/photos/video/ (problem, two-worlds bridge, systems-to-audio, council, use-case constellation, future-walk, etc.) if we decide to cut any brand visuals into the experience film.
