# Product-Only UGC Recipe

Read `../../../skills-shared/ugc-production.md` for sequential boards, mandatory
refinement, reference binding, motion density, voice, execution and specialized checks.
This recipe means a casual product hero with off-screen speech. A silent single product
shot uses the ordinary product/create-video route; an explicit silent adaptation is a
user override, not evidence that this recipe normally has no narration.

## Four Events Per Clip

Build a four-panel, one-row 21:9 board for every 4–15 second clip. Hands, cropped bodies
or POV may support the product; no visible speaking hero. The ordered slots are:

| Slot | Event | What the board must prove |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 INTRO | Product in its real-use context; VO starts immediately | Full silhouette, scale and orientation; no active demonstration yet |
| 2 DEMO A | First meaningful interaction | Contact, mechanism, causal result and hand support |
| 3 DEMO B | A different interaction or use target | New evidence, not the same action from a closer camera |
| 4 RESULT | Readable end state or practical payoff | The claimed result actually follows from the demonstration |

Default camera rhythm is fixed wide → fixed medium → macro or POV → fixed wide.
Every change must be visible in the board. Keep phone-like deep focus, ordinary daylight,
faint sensor grain and believable surroundings. Do not introduce studio polish, bokeh,
slow motion or a moving camera into every cut. Intro life can be steam, a curtain or an
idle hand; it must not consume the second slot's demonstration.

Use product + cleaned previous board as board references; bind clean board first and
product second for video. Complete and refine board K before building K+1. Later boards
show additional uses, context or result; do not repeat the same four actions with new zooms.

| Duration | Intro | Demo A | Demo B | Result |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 4s | 1 | 1.5 | 1 | 0.5 |
| 6s | 1 | 2 | 1.5 | 1.5 |
| 8s | 1.5 | 2.5 | 2 | 2 |
| 10s | 2 | 3 | 2.5 | 2.5 |
| 12s | 2 | 3.5 | 3 | 3.5 |
| 15s | 2.5 | 4.5 | 4 | 4 |

Other durations preserve these priorities and total exactly. Write cumulative timecodes,
four complete action sections and three `Hard cut to.` boundaries. The result remains a
physical state with a small natural action, not an arbitrary motionless closing hold.

## Mechanism And Scale

Choose two demonstrations supported by the actual product: typing then one key response;
a controller stick then a trigger; cleaning a surface then reaching a corner; dispensing
then applying; holding a garment then showing its worn fit. These are candidate pairs,
not permission to invent switches, effects or efficacy. A single-function product can use
two genuine targets or one operation plus inspection of its actual result.

Name contact precisely: a mouse palm rests on the shell, index finger on the real button,
thumb on its side; a keyboard has wrists outside the keys; a bottle's cap is removed before
pouring. Match the actual reference instead of copying these examples literally. Assign
both hands, keep the same visible product side across an interaction, and preserve its
size relative to fingers. One main operation and normally one state change per cut.

Each cut needs 4–10 useful sentences and at least five integrated micro-observations of
grip, mechanism, material response and environment. Do not invent face acting for a
product-only frame. A hand-free macro has one small passive motion, no invisible operator.
Allow at most one brief focus/exposure correction, in POV only. Fixed cameras stay fixed.

## Audio And Output

One native off-screen voice carries the entire clip; resolve its voice/register once.
Any visible auxiliary person keeps their mouth closed. Use exact approved dialogue in the
Audio section, normal room tone, and named physical sounds. No default music or external
TTS replacement. Use the shared spoken-density guidance and phrase-boundary allocation.

Inspect product, scale, finger count, pressure/contact, mechanism, visible branding and
unwanted text in representative frames plus every detail shot. If a result does not prove
the spoken claim, repair that shot or obtain authorization to change the copy. Prompt-only
delivery includes the four-slot board plan, refinement prompt, complete video prompt,
reference order and time budget, without claiming that planned assets already exist.
