Selectors route based on: user preference > availability > fallback order. They adapt input schemas between providers transparently.

**Q: I don't have any video generation providers. Can I still make videos?**
A: Yes. The agent generates still images (via any image provider — even free stock from Pexels/Pixabay) and Remotion composes them into animated video with spring physics transitions, text cards, stat cards, and charts. This is the default path for explainer and animation pipelines when no video gen is configured.
**Q: What's the cheapest way to get AI-generated images and video?**
A: fal.ai (`FAL_KEY`). One key unlocks FLUX images at ~$0.03/image and multiple video providers. No subscription — pay only for what you generate.
**Q: What's one low-friction way to get AI-generated images and video?**
A: fal.ai (`FAL_KEY`) is one pay-as-you-go option with broad single-key coverage. It unlocks FLUX images plus multiple video providers. No subscription — pay only for what you generate.
**Q: I have a GPU. What can I run locally for free?**
A: Set `VIDEO_GEN_LOCAL_ENABLED=true` and install `diffusers`. You get WAN 2.1, Hunyuan, CogVideo, and LTX video generation plus Stable Diffusion image generation — all free, all offline.
