What it does
The `paper-collage-ad` skill drives Codex through a full cut-paper ad: a visual metaphor from product material, a timecoded script, key frames from real brand assets, animation, music, paper foley and mixing. Animation can come from Seedance, HyperFrames, layered PNGs or FFmpeg. Voiceover uses ordinary text-to-speech or local IndexTTS-2 voice cloning on Apple Silicon. The output is an H.264/AAC MP4 verified at stream level.
Who it is for. Marketers and designers who make short ad films with Codex and are ready to approve the script step by step.
Good fit when
- A 45-second product ad in paper-collage style is needed.
- The script and storyboard are approved before generation budget is spent.
- Voiceover uses a voice with documented permission and no cloud service.
- A finished film is checked for streams and codecs before delivery.
Not a fit when
- The film must use a different visual style.
- The machine is not a Mac and local voice cloning is required.
- Quick voiceover without preparation is wanted; voice cloning needs a clean 6–12 second recording.
Example request
Use paper-collage-ad to make a 45-second film about our delivery service, starting with a script for approval.Limitations
Local voice cloning targets Apple Silicon. Some stages need your own access to Seedance, Jimeng, MiniMax, ElevenLabs and the ChatCut plugin. Gemini Omni outputs only 720p at 24 fps and renders exact Chinese text poorly. Clone only a voice with the owner's consent; the repository ships no voices or weights. Last commit August 2026. Documentation and the detailed workflow are in Chinese, and so are the prompt examples. Video and voice generation cost follows the tariffs of the connected services.
How to disable. Delete `~/.codex/skills/paper-collage-ad` or `.codex/skills/paper-collage-ad`. Local IndexTTS-2 models live in `~/.local/share/paper-collage-ad/` and are removed separately.
FAQ
Are API keys required?
Static key frames, layered animation and assembly need none. Seedance, Jimeng, MiniMax, ElevenLabs and ChatCut require your own access.
Which Codex does it target?
The README targets Codex desktop and CLI. Restart Codex or open a new task so it reads `SKILL.md`.
Can another person's voice be cloned?
No. The repository assumes only a voice with the owner's permission and ships no voices, sounds or weights itself.
Where is the detailed guide?
`WORKFLOW.zh-CN.md` walks from install to MP4 in Chinese.
How long is the film?
The README example is 45 seconds. Length is set by the script, which is approved before generation.
