Make podcast

Skill gitroomhq/agent-media/skills/make-podcast

Two saved characters recording a podcast in ONE room — the camera cuts to whoever is speaking, and each actor stays in their IDENTICAL seat, desk and mic position across every cut. Provide character_a and character_b (saved char_… ids from list_characters, or https image URLs) and an ordered `script` of A/B dialogue turns (each { speaker: "A" | "B", line: "…" }). The pipeline renders ONE shared two-shot, locks a close-up per actor, animates every turn with native lip-synced Seedance voice (each actor keeps a consistent look AND voice across the whole episode), and hard-cuts the turns together as a 9:16 vertical video. Long turns auto-split into ≤15s takes. Captions are OPT-IN — ask the user first, then set subtitles:true.From its SKILL.md
