Workflow Patterns

4-Stage Video Production Pipeline

CopyStage 1: Scripting
↓
Stage 2: Visual Generation (Veo)
↓
Stage 3: Audio Overlay
↓
Stage 4: Export & Ingest

Stage 1: Scripting

Create the narrative or script for the video.

Example prompts:

• "Write a 30-second script for a product demo showcasing [product features]"
• "Create a voiceover script for a travel video about [destination]"
• "Generate a tutorial script explaining [concept] in simple terms"

Stage 2: Visual Generation (Veo)

Veo generates video content based on the script and style parameters.

Parameters:

Style prompts:

• "Corporate, modern, clean aesthetic"
• "Cinematic with dramatic lighting"
• "Animated explainer style"
• "Documentary with natural footage feel"

Stage 3: Audio Overlay

Add narration, music, or sound effects.

Options:

• AI-generated voiceover from script
• Background music selection
• Sound effect overlays
• Custom audio upload

Stage 4: Export & Ingest

Download and optionally ingest into MediaDB.

Browser Automation via Claude-in-Chrome

Super Gems operate through the Gemini web interface. Use Claude-in-Chrome for automation.

Session Initialization

Copy1. Check for existing Gemini tab:
   - Use tabs_context_mcp to find gemini.google.com tabs

2. Navigate if needed:
   - navigate to https://gemini.google.com
   - Wait for page load

3. Verify authentication:
   - Check for user avatar/profile indicator
   - If not authenticated, prompt user to log in manually

Gem Manager Navigation

Copy1. From Gemini main page:
   - Locate "Gem Manager" or gems icon in sidebar
   - Click to open Gem Manager

2. Find or create gem:
   - Use find tool for "Create new gem" or existing gem name
   - Click to open gem editor

Veo Generation Monitoring

Copy1. After triggering generation:
   - Enter polling loop (60-second intervals)
   - Check for progress indicator or completion

2. On completion:
   - Locate download/export button
   - Extract download URL
   - Trigger veo_ingest.json workflow

Veo Integration Details

Capabilities

• Text-to-video: Generate videos from text descriptions
• Style transfer: Apply visual styles to generated content
• Reference images: Use images as style guides (optional)
• Duration control: Specify video length

Limitations

• Generation time: 5-15 minutes per video
• Quota: Subject to Gemini Ultra subscription limits
• Quality: Best for short-form content (under 60 seconds)
• Control: Less precise than frame-by-frame editing

Output Formats

Director's Formula (Veo Prompting)

For optimal Veo results, structure prompts using all six elements:

Copy[Camera: movement, lens, focus]
[Subject: detailed description, clothing, expression]
[Action: concrete verbs, specific movements]
[Setting: environment, lighting, time of day]
[Style: aesthetic, color grading, production quality]
[Audio: SFX tags, dialogue in quotes, ambient sounds]

Example:

Copy[Camera: Slow dolly zoom, 35mm lens, shallow depth of field]
[Subject: Professional woman in business casual, confident posture]
[Action: She reaches for the smart water bottle, LED display glows]
[Setting: Modern minimalist kitchen, morning golden hour light]
[Style: Corporate modern aesthetic, warm color grading, clean lines]
[Audio: Ambient kitchen sounds, soft "whoosh" on bottle pickup, subtle corporate music]

This formula ensures Veo receives unambiguous directorial instructions.

Bidirectional Media Database Integration

Inbound: Veo → MediaDB

Automatically ingest Veo outputs into the LanceDB media database.

Workflow:

CopyVeo completion → Download video → Generate metadata →
Extract thumbnail → Add to LanceDB → Slack notification

Metadata mapping:

Use script: scripts/veo_ingest.py

Outbound: MediaDB → Super Gems

Export MediaDB assets for use as Veo inputs.

Use cases:

• Reference images for style transfer
• Existing clips for extension/remixing
• Audio assets for overlay

Workflow:

CopyQuery MediaDB → Select assets → Export to staging →
Upload to Veo reference panel → Generate

Use script: scripts/media_export.py

N8N Workflow Integration

Webhook Endpoints

veo-ingest Request Body

Copy{
  "download_url": "https://gemini.google.com/...",
  "filename": "veo_output_001.mp4",
  "session_id": "gems_session_abc123",
  "quality_hint": 1,
  "subjects": ["marketing", "product demo"]
}

super-gems-trigger Request Body

Copy{
  "workflow_type": "video_production",
  "script_prompt": "Create a 30-second product demo...",
  "visual_style": "corporate, modern, clean",
  "audio_style": "upbeat background music",
  "source_assets": ["media_id_1", "media_id_2"]
}

Google Sheet Bridge Integration (Recommended)

Since Super Gems cannot directly call external APIs or webhooks, we use Google Sheets as a bridge to connect to N8N workflows.

Integration Pattern

CopySuper Gem → Writes to Google Sheet → N8N monitors Sheet → Triggers veo_ingest.py → MediaDB

Why Use Sheet Bridge?

Sheet Structure

The "Super Gems Workflow Queue" spreadsheet tracks all production workflows:

N8N Workflow

Use n8n_workflows/super_gems_sheet_monitor.json which:

1. Polls the Sheet for status = "ready_for_ingest"
2. Downloads video from Drive URL
3. Runs veo_ingest.py to ingest to MediaDB
4. Updates Sheet status
5. Sends Slack notification

Setup Guide

See references/google-sheet-bridge.md for complete setup instructions.

---

Session State Management

Track multi-stage workflow progress with session state.

State file: ~/.gemini-super-gems/sessions.json

Session structure:

Copy{
  "session_id": "gems_abc123",
  "workflow_name": "product_demo_v1",
  "created_at": "2026-01-14T12:00:00Z",
  "stages": {
    "scripting": {"status": "completed", "output": "..."},
    "visual": {"status": "in_progress", "started_at": "..."},
    "audio": {"status": "pending"},
    "export": {"status": "pending"}
  },
  "outputs": {}
}

Use script: scripts/super_gems_state.py

---

Best Practices

Session Management

1. Single active session: Run one Veo generation at a time
2. Tab persistence: Keep Gemini tab open during generation
3. Auth monitoring: Check for session expiry periodically
4. Screenshot verification: Capture screenshots at each stage

Generation Optimization

1. Clear prompts: Specific, detailed descriptions yield better results
2. Style consistency: Define style once, reference throughout
3. Reasonable duration: Start with 15-30 second videos
4. Batch planning: Queue multiple videos, process sequentially

Error Recovery

Context Poisoning Prevention (Gemini 3)

Gemini 3 can experience "context drift" where it forgets instructions over long conversations. Prevent this with:

1. Sandwich Structure Prompts:

   • Top: Objective Definition (the "Why")
   • Middle: Context and Data
   • Bottom: Output Protocol (forces execution mode)

2. Structured Delimiters:

   • Use <context>, <task>, <rules> XML tags
   • Clear boundaries prevent instruction confusion

3. Objective-Driven Constraints:

   • Instead of: "Don't deviate from brand"
   • Use: "Objective: Maintain brand consistency"

4. Reset Techniques:

   • Settings > Personal Context > Toggle OFF/ON
   • Clear old memories in Settings > Saved Info
   • Start fresh sessions for complex workflows

See templates/super-gem-prompt-template.md for the full optimized prompt.
