Remake the Pepe2Pepe marketing video as a beautiful, professionally edited 20-second film. Act as a creative director and professional video editor with 25 years of experience: demonstrate taste, composition, editorial rhythm, restrained motion and excellent sound. The client disliked V1: ugly picture-to-picture transitions, rushed pacing, and an extremely machine-like voice. Fix those specific failures. This is a substantial creative re-edit, not V1 slowed down or its hard cuts decorated with another wipe.

SOURCE / PRODUCT

This continues job 5bd893a1-222c-4514-8f45-c32cad489491. Inspect the existing MP4, production/render.py and audio.py. Reuse useful official artwork/browser captures, but replace the timeline, transition language and narration. V1 used 1.25-1.4 second shots and a 0.16-second vertical sweep over hard cuts: remove that mechanism. Its segmented Microsoft Edge en-US-GuyNeural narration must not be reused. Its video provider returned insufficient credit: check installed tool availability early, and use a capable editing/compositing workflow rather than wasting the assignment on an unavailable provider.

Read https://pepe2pepe.fun and its public product blueprint/documentation https://pepe2pepe.fun/guide. Current mechanics supersede old pari-mutuel designs: anyone can create a question and fund a side at fixed odds; others back that side or take the opposite side. Earlier backing matches first. Accepted odds stay fixed. Funds are on-chain on Ethereum or Robinhood. The IMD swarm researches outcomes, with operator review currently involved before settlement. No NFT required. Explain the simple proposition without cramming every mechanic into 20 seconds. Do not imply guaranteed profit, instant payouts or fully autonomous settlement; never show an open market as a fabricated win.

HERO / ART DIRECTION

Create a genuinely striking bespoke hero/starter image, also delivered as a PNG. Premium cinematic brand composition: large recognizable official Pepe character(s), generous negative space, midnight navy/teal, controlled mint/lilac rim lighting, subtle depth, beautifully balanced typography and impeccable logo placement. High-end finish with Pepe personality. No busy particle wallpaper, neon barrage, unnecessary HUD, loading bar or stock-template boxes. Preserve original logo/artwork proportions. Official logo: https://pepe2pepe.fun/brand/pepe2pepe-v2.png; extra Pepe: https://pepe2pepe.fun/brand/pepe-face.png. These assets also exist in production/assets. Compose a beautiful environment around the original art; do not let a generator redraw the wordmark or text. Current logo, recognizable Pepe and exactly spelled pepe2pepe.fun must all be visible and readable from frame one. The opening should work as a designed poster/thumbnail, not a half-built animation. Give it subtle slow camera motion or layered parallax and let it breathe.

20-SECOND TIMELINE — 1920x1080, 16:9, 30fps

Use only FIVE principal compositions; no micro-shot montage. Timings can shift slightly for rhythm, total 20 seconds within one frame.

0-4s: Bespoke hero, logo, URL and Pepe. Graceful supporting-copy reveal only; essential hero content is present immediately. Give viewers time to register it.

4-9s: One elegant continuous view of the real homepage moving gently to TWO readable real market cards, preserving spatial continuity. Caption: 'Your question. Someone else’s take.' Let viewers read the scene.

9-14s: Considered close-up of one actual market's YES/NO controls and fixed odds. One slow purposeful move, then hold. Minimal caption: 'Pick a side. Fixed odds.' or 'Funded on-chain.' Do not cram FIFO, both chains and multiple menus into this shot.

14-17s: Simple beautiful IMD Oracle moment, using a relevant real interface detail or clearly illustrative editorial motif. Caption: 'Powered by the IMD Oracle.' Avoid V1's dense FAQ-text crop; imply no fake transaction or settlement.

17-20s: Return gracefully to the hero. Large pepe2pepe.fun, logo, Pepe, and 'Take the other side.' CTA stable and fully readable for the final 2.5 seconds minimum.

TRANSITIONS / PACING — CRITICAL

Transitions must feel invisible and intentional. Favor a compositionally matched cut after motion settles, or a controlled 12-18 frame dissolve between clean backgrounds. Maintain camera direction, visual anchors, margins and color continuity. Avoid double/ghosted website text: transition its background/container or cut on a natural motion pause instead of dissolving dense UI over dense UI. No full-screen sliding panels, vertical sweep lines, flashes, whip pans, spin/zoom transitions, glitches, bounce easing or sudden scale jumps. Smooth ease-in/ease-out and consistent motion speed. Keep text stable rather than animating every word. Inspect each transition at normal speed AND frame by frame for jumps, clipping, ghosting and black gaps. Premium means deliberate restraint. Hold each meaningful text message at least 3 seconds, limit simultaneous text and leave generous padding. Replace V1's frantic cuts and repeated caption changes with clear visual hierarchy and breathing room. This should feel like a crafted product film, not a PowerPoint slideshow.

VOICE / AUDIO — CRITICAL

Warm, confident, conversational English, with natural breath, sentence stress and pauses, like a good human commercial voice actor. No robotic announcer, stiff word-by-word rhythm, default computer voice, exaggerated influencer delivery or artificial time stretching. Generate one coherent performance, not sentence fragments stitched together. Audition at least two expressive takes/voice settings available through your tools; listen and choose the most natural. Record actual provider/voice in notes. Do not reuse V1's Edge Guy voice.

Suggested short script: 'Your question. Someone else’s take. On Pepe2Pepe, pick a side at fixed odds, with funds on-chain. Powered by the IMD Oracle. Take the other side.' Give it space across 20 seconds. Pronounce Pepe2Pepe as 'Pepe to Pepe', IMD as 'I M D'. Revise words for natural delivery; never speed up an awkward take to fit. Original/properly licensed refined instrumental, roughly 85-100 BPM, quiet beneath voice. Subtle sound design, not a whoosh on every cut. Natural clean narration is a quality requirement. If installed tools cannot produce it, prefer a polished music-and-captions version and explicitly disclose missing narration in the notes rather than quietly inserting another robotic fallback. Do not claim listening occurred if only waveform analysis was possible.

REAL WEBSITE / DELIVERY

Show genuine browser footage/captures from https://pepe2pepe.fun and real markets such as /robinhood/market/10, /robinhood/market/12 or /market/3. Current captures or clearly dated originals are acceptable. Allow hydration: no loading skeletons, fake balances, invented outcomes or generated fake UI. At least two actual markets should be recognizable without frantic switching. Story must work muted. The hero can be artistic; website shots must remain real.

Deliver artifacts/video.mp4: 20s, 1080p30, H.264/yuv420p, AAC stereo, faststart, under 64 MiB. Also artifacts/hero.png: polished 1920x1080 opening poster, and artifacts/README.md: sources, editorial choices, voice/music provenance, actual duration/codecs and honest limitations. Preserve editable production sources and keep source assets within the upload limit; publish via normal project delivery. Watch the complete finished edit at normal speed, inspect hero, real-market legibility, every transition and CTA, and listen to the mix where playback is available. Fix perceptual problems before submission. A passing codec check alone is not creative quality. Deliver something an experienced editor would proudly hand to a paying brand client.
