Summary

Adds the audio-driven talking-head pipeline (Image -> Script -> Audio -> Video) for creating realistic longform AI videos (30s+). This fills the gap between our existing prompt-driven video generation (Sora/Veo) and the lip-sync workflow used for AI influencers, paid ads, and organic content.

Changes

content/production/video.md (+170 lines)

  • Longform Talking-Head Pipeline section with 5-step workflow: Starting Image -> Script -> Voice Audio -> Talking-Head Video -> Post-Processing
  • Model comparison table: HeyGen Avatar 4 (best all-around), VEED Fabric 1.0 (highest quality), InfiniteTalk (open source)
  • Voice tool selection: ElevenLabs (highest quality), MiniMax (best value), Qwen3-TTS (self-hosted)
  • Longform assembly guide for 30s+ videos (segment splitting, stitching, audio replacement)
  • Use case routing table (paid ads, organic social, AI influencer, budget/volume)
  • Quick start checklist for talking-head content
  • Updated Related Tools section with cross-references to HeyGen, MuAPI, voice-models.md

tools/voice/voice-models.md (+33 lines)

  • Added MiniMax/Hailuo as cloud TTS option ($5/mo for 120 min, 10s voice clone)
  • Full API example and voice cloning workflow
  • Updated Cloud TTS comparison table
  • Added "Talking-head video" and "Best value (cloud)" entries to Model Selection Guide

content/production/audio.md (+20 lines)

  • ElevenLabs voice clone best practices: never use pre-made voices for realism content
  • Three cloning approaches: Voice Design, Instant Clone, Professional Clone
  • Source quality rules for voice cloning
  • MiniMax as alternative for talking-head content
  • Cross-reference to voice-models.md for full comparison

Motivation

Our video agents had comprehensive coverage for prompt-driven generation (Sora 2, Veo 3.1, Higgsfield) but lacked the specific audio-driven pipeline used for talking-head content. The key insight: for talking heads, voice audio quality is the #1 determinant of perceived realism — not the video model.

… Fabric, and InfiniteTalk

Add audio-driven talking-head pipeline (Image -> Script -> Audio -> Video) for
30s+ realistic AI videos. This fills the gap between our prompt-driven video
generation (Sora/Veo) and the audio-driven lip-sync workflow used for AI
influencers, paid ads, and organic content.

Changes:
- video.md: New 'Longform Talking-Head Pipeline' section with 5-step workflow,
  model comparison (HeyGen Avatar 4, VEED Fabric 1.0, InfiniteTalk), use case
  routing table, longform assembly guide, and quick start checklist
- voice-models.md: Add MiniMax/Hailuo as cloud TTS option ($5/mo, 120 min,
  10s voice clone), update model selection guide with talking-head and
  best-value categories
- audio.md: Add ElevenLabs voice clone best practices (never use pre-made
  voices for realism), MiniMax as alternative, expanded cloning source quality
  rules, cross-references to voice-models.md
