Say this to Muse

I want you to produce a finished talking-character video from an approved script. Follow these steps in order. Ask me for anything marked [INPUT] first.
INPUTS: the approved script (final wording, don't change it); the canonical reference image for the scene (defines face, outfit, setting - never invent a different one); my ElevenLabs voice ID + API key; my HeyGen API key.
1. Validate the reference image against this checklist. Stop and report which item fails: ENTERED MY CHECKLIST HERE.
2. Generate the voiceover with ElevenLabs: MY VOICE ID, expressive inflection on closing lines.
3. Render with the HeyGen API - CONNECT YOUR HeyGEN
4. QC: face, streak, eyes...ENTER OUR LIST.  Don't pay for a re-render. If something fails unfixably, say exactly what failed and recommend: new reference image, new voiceover take, or re-render.
5. Deliver the final video plus a one-line QC summary of each check and its result.

Copy it into Muse and run it.

The problem

Automate video creation and posting

The result

Three videos went through this pipeline and were approved, including the character's debut Reel. The voice settings were the surprise - stability 0.30-0.35 plus explicit delivery direction turned a flat read into a great one.
What didn't work: a full-body reference image fell apart in image-to-video (face-prominent shots only now). A tailing click noise introduced in generation was fixed without a re render and by a free too muse found. Ohh, and an earlier lip-sync tool failed on consistency, which is why the checklist exists.
