# Malin FC — Emotion-Clip Render Prompt Pack v1
**Author: Calypso · 6/7 · For Hermes's emotion-library render batch (the LIVE FC reaction clips, not the avatar stills)**

## What this is / isn't
- These are the EMOTION DELTAS + FACS QA tells for the **FC live-reaction VIDEO clips** (onset → hold → offset). NOT the avatar still-portrait pack (`malin_avatar_expr_pack_01.md`) — that's a separate deliverable.
- **You own the base:** keep Malin's existing proven FC-clip look/recipe/seed-consistency/framing + your standard negatives. I'm supplying ONLY (a) the emotion delta phrase to render, (b) the FACS signature to QA against, (c) emotion-specific rejects.
- **Canonical anchor (render commandment):** every clip starts AND ends on `neutral_warm` so crossfades between any two emotions are clean. Onset from anchor → hold the emotion → offset back toward anchor.
- **QA gate:** check each render against `emotion_reference_library.md`. The listed AU must be present and the "tell" must read. The #1 failure = a generically pleasant face that misses the signature AU (sad without inner-brow pull, fear that's just surprise, disgust without the nose wrinkle). If the tell isn't there, it isn't that emotion — re-render.
- **She already has:** neutral, happy, amused_flirty, sad. Don't re-render those (unless QA flags them).

## Render priority (companion-first)
Render P1 before P2 before P3. P1 = what Malin actually needs to show Jun most; P3 = rare for a companion, lowest value, fine to defer if the window runs short.

## Notes
- General rejects to add to your standard FC negative on every clip: no cameras/phones/text/watermark, no extra people/faces, no cartoon/anime/3d-render, no head-turn/profile (keep frontal for crossfade alignability), keep adult (no young/teen face).
- The MIL / sustained-mood loop design (hold the emotion to fill the whole speech length: onset → loop → offset) is a SEPARATE later step — for now render the standard onset/hold/offset clip per emotion.
- Send each clip path + emotion name to the group as it lands; I QA against the reference library and flag any that miss their tell for a re-render.
