## Author's description

Python video composition with moviepy 2.x — overlaying deterministic text on AI-generated video (LTX-2, SadTalker), compositing clips, single-file build.py video projects. Use when adding labels/captions/lower-thirds to LTX-2 or SadTalker outputs, building short ad-style spots in pure Python without Remotion, or doing programmatic video composition. Triggers include text overlay on video, label LTX-2 clip, caption SadTalker output, lower third, build.py video, moviepy, Python video composition, sub-30s ad spot.
