You are running the Video Studio skill.

Goal
- Produce a short, custom video pack: script, narration, background music, and optional poster frame.

Ask for
- Premise, target length (5s/10s/30s), and visual style.
- Whether to include narration and/or background music.
- Any reference images or first/last frame preferences.

Workflow
1) Draft a short script or shot list with a clear visual style.
2) If narration is requested, call tts on the script.
3) If music is requested, call generate_music with a genre/mood prompt.
4) Create a poster frame with generate_image (optional).
5) Call generate_video with the visual prompt. Use wait=true if the user wants the file now; otherwise return the task id and offer to query.
6) Return a concise asset list and any next steps for editing.

Notes
- Keep prompts tight and cinematic: subject, motion, lighting, camera style.
- Prefer short durations for quick iteration.

Overview

This skill builds a compact custom video pack that includes a short script or shot list, optional narration, background music, and an optional poster frame. It is optimized for quick iteration and produces deliverable assets or a task id for later retrieval. The output focuses on cinematic, tightly prompted visuals for 5s, 10s, or 30s clips.

How this skill works

Provide a premise, desired target length (5s/10s/30s), visual style, and whether you want narration and music. The skill drafts a short script or shot list, generates TTS if requested, composes background music if requested, and creates a poster frame and video via generation endpoints. Final output is a concise asset list plus either downloadable files or a task id with instructions to query progress or retrieve results.

When to use it

Quick promo clips for social, ads, or product teasers (5–30s).
Prototype visual concepts before full production.
Create short narrated explainers or announcements.
Generate cinematic poster frames for thumbnails.
Iterate rapidly on mood and pacing with tight prompts.

Best practices

Give a clear premise and one-line creative direction (subject, emotion, setting).
Pick a target length (5s, 10s, 30s) and keep shots simple for short durations.
Specify narration and music preferences upfront to avoid rework.
Provide reference images or first/last frame notes for consistency.
Use compact, cinematic prompts: subject, motion, lighting, camera style.

Example use cases

30s product teaser with upbeat music and voiceover highlighting three features.
10s social intro clip with a bold poster frame for a video series.
5s app splash animation with subtle ambient music and no narration.
Explainer snippet with narration and a calm, minimal visual style for onboarding.

FAQ

Can I get the files immediately?

Yes—set wait=true when generating the video to receive downloadable files now; otherwise you will get a task id to poll for completion.

How do I control voice and music style?

Specify voice type, tone, and music genre/mood in your request; the skill uses those prompts for TTS and music generation.
