Overview

This skill generates short AI videos from text descriptions or single images with no API key setup required. It selects the appropriate generation mode and backend, enhances prompts for better motion and composition, and returns a ready-to-share video URL. It supports multiple models and short clip durations ideal for social, cinematic, and product content.

How this skill works

The skill detects user intent and chooses text-to-video, image-to-video, or reference-based generation. It enhances the user prompt with details about subject, motion, camera, lighting, and style, then calls a hosted proxy that runs one of several supported models and returns a video URL and metadata. Outputs are short clips (typically 4–10 seconds) and the script supports async job checks and explicit model selection.

When to use it

• Create a short cinematic or social clip from a text description
• Animate a single photo or portrait to add subtle motion
• Generate a product or close-up demo video (slow motion, macro)
• Produce a reference-consistent clip using example images or video
• Quickly prototype short motion concepts without configuring API keys

Best practices

• Enhance text prompts with subject, explicit motion, camera moves, lighting, and style for predictable results
• For image-to-video, describe the exact motion to apply (e.g., wind in hair, camera pan)
• Keep duration short (4–10s) to maintain quality and speed
• Specify aspect ratio for your target platform (16:9, 9:16, 1:1)
• Use model selection when you need character consistency or a particular aesthetic

Example use cases

• Text-to-video: 'A cat walking in the rain, neon reflections, slow-motion, cinematic' → 5s clip
• Image-to-video: Animate a landscape photo with moving clouds and swaying grass
• Product shot: 10s vertical slow-motion pour for a mobile ad
• Portrait animation: subtle head turn and smile for a profile intro
• Reference-based: keep character look consistent across multiple short scenes
