Skills

SkillWhen
video-spec-sheetAspect, fps, safe-zones, caption positions. Always.
video-hooksHook beats. Always for the first beat.
ad-frameworksPacing matched to framework (HSO body is longer than PAS body).
content-voiceTone notes carry into VO direction.

When the user says "render reference frames" (or you decide it's useful for an unfamiliar product / aesthetic):

  1. Match the storyboard's aspect ratio in every prompt (9:16 1080×1920 or 1:1 1024×1024 or 16:9 1920×1080).
  2. One image per beat. Filename frames/beat-NN.png.
  3. Prompt template:
    <subject>, <framing>, <motion suggestion as static composition>,
    <lighting>, <style — photorealistic / 3D / illustrated / etc.>,
    --aspect <ratio> --quality high
  4. Save the prompt + seed alongside each frame in asset-checklist.md so the prompt can be re-run for variants.
# Storyboard — <product>, <platform>, <length>

**Aspect:** <9:16 | 1:1 | 16:9 | 4:5> · **fps:** <30 | 60> · **Length:** <Xs> · **Beats:** <N>

## Sound design layer

| t | SFX | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 0:00 | whoosh + sub-impact | hook reveal |
| 0:03 | riser | building toward problem |
| 0:18 | drop + texture | solution reveal |
| 0:28 | UI click | CTA emphasis |

## Asset checklist

| ID | Beat | Type | Source | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F01 | 01 | still | flux | TODO |
| C02 | 02 | clip | runway-i2v from F01 | TODO |
| V01 | 01–14 | voiceover | elevenlabs | TODO |
| M01 | full | music | mubert | TODO |
| S01 | 01,03,18,28 | sfx | local lib / freesound | TODO |

Save the asset checklist as a standalone file too: ./video-out/<slug>/asset-checklist.md (same table, expanded with prompts and seeds for each generated asset).

Do:

  • One beat = one camera setup. If you write "and then…" inside a beat, it's two beats.
  • Asset checklist is the source of truth — no asset can be "remembered" outside it.
  • Save outputs to ./video-out/<slug>/ only.
  • remember() before, memorize() after.
