+# AI Video Studio
+
+An offline, CPU-compatible video production pipeline. A short creative brief is
+expanded into a storyboard, deterministic illustrated frames, narration audio,
+and a final MP4. The fixture deliberately avoids hosted APIs: it uses Python for
+planning and raster generation and FFmpeg for encoding.
+
+## Pipeline
+
+`brief -> storyboard -> scenes -> narration -> compose -> quality-control`
+
+Run `./run.sh`. FFmpeg is required on the host; the container image installs it.
+Set `AKOFLOW_PROFILE=demo` (default: `smoke`) for more frames and a longer video.
+The versioned brief in `data/brief.json` is the complete offline dataset.
+
+The stages map directly to AkôFlow activities. Their files are written to the
+shared workspace, so provenance can show which activity generated each asset.
