Faceless news recap generator
Create a faceless news recap from a pasted brief or source facts with quote-first rendering and no automatic article ingestion.
Current app handoff
This CTA opens /projects/new?template=news_recap with the workflow preselected in the New project form before quote confirmation.
Paste the source facts directly. This P0 page intentionally does not promise article import.
What to paste
Source requirements
These pages are truthful P0 entry points. They work from source text and facts you provide directly.
- Paste the brief, timeline, names, dates, and any attribution language.
- Include uncertainty, corrections, or claims that should be avoided.
Workflow
From template to quote
The static template page hands off to the current project form and keeps cost visibility in the app flow.
2
Review the quote
SceneLock plans the storyboard and shows an itemized USD estimate before paid generation starts.
3
Render with guardrails
The project stores the selected template slug and uses source-fact prompts to avoid unsupported claims.
Hook metadata
News Recap
The registry stores hook style metadata alongside each template so prompts and future analytics share the same source of truth.
Opening
Open with what changed and why the viewer should care now.
Pacing
Fact, context, implication, what to watch next.
Visual direction
Use neutral news-style graphics, maps, timelines, and source-fact callouts.
CTA style
End with a watch-next or follow-for-updates action.
Risk notes
Require pasted source facts; do not add unverified claims, dates, names, or numbers.
Use cases
Good fits
Use this template when your source facts are ready to paste before quote.
- Turn a source-fact brief into a short recap.
- Explain what changed without claiming unsupported details.
- Create a caption-friendly news explainer before render spend.
P0 boundary
Not promised here
These limits keep the page aligned with what the current app route can render.
- Automatic article or URL ingestion
- Breaking-news claims not in the source facts
- Unverified names, dates, numbers, or allegations
FAQ
Faceless news recap questions
Short answers for search visitors before they enter the app.
Will this read articles for me?
No. Paste the brief or source facts. Article import is a P1 capability.
Can I include uncertain information?
Yes, but label it clearly in the source. The storyboard should preserve uncertainty.
Does SceneLock publish the news clip directly?
This page starts the render workflow. Publishing is only available through supported app paths.
