style: VideoStyle; duration: number; // seconds (15-60) platform: ShortsPlatform; output: VideoOutput; } type ShortsPlatform = 'youtube-shorts' | 'tiktok' | 'instagram-reels' | 'facebook-reels'; interface ContentInput { type: 'topic' | 'script' | 'url' | 'audio' | 'images'; content: string | string[]; language: string; } interface VideoStyle { visualStyle: 'documentary' | 'explainer' | 'story' | 'tutorial' | 'entertainment'; pacing: 'fast' | 'medium' | 'slow'; transitions: TransitionType[]; textOverlay: boolean; backgroundMusic: MusicStyle; voiceover: VoiceoverConfig; } ``` ### Script Generation Engine ```typescript // Viral script structure interface ShortScript { hook: string; // First 3 seconds - grab attention body: ScriptSegment[]; // Main content callToAction: string; // End screen CTA captions: Caption[]; // Timed captions totalDuration: number; } interface ScriptSegment { text: string; duration: number; visualCue: string; timing: TimingNote; } // Hook templates for maximum retention const HOOK_TEMPLATES = { curiosity: "You won't believe what happens when...", challenge: "Most people get this wrong...", promise: "Here's how to [benefit] in [timeframe]...", controversy: "Unpopular opinion: ...", story: "I discovered something amazing...", question: "Have you ever wondered why...?", statistic: "[Shocking stat] and here's why...", tutorial: "Stop doing [X], do this instead..." }; // Optimal video structure const VIDEO_STRUCTURE = { hook: { duration: 3, goal: 'stop scroll' }, setup: { duration: 5, goal: 'establish context' }, content: { duration: 40, goal: 'deliver value' }, payoff: { duration: 7, goal: 'satisfy + CTA' }, endScreen: { duration: 5, goal: 'engagement prompt' } }; ``` ### Content Engines > 📎 **Code example 1** (typescript) — see [references/examples.md](references/examples.md) ### Visual Asset Sourcing ```typescript // Automated footage sourcing interface VisualAssetManager { sources: AssetSource[]; preferences: VisualPreferences; } type AssetSource = | { type: 'pexels'; [REDACTED_SECRET] } | { type: 'pixabay'; [REDACTED_SECRET] } | { type: 'unsplash'; [REDACTED_SECRET] } | { type: 'storyblocks'; subscription: string } | { type: 'ai-generated'; model: 'midjourney' | 'dalle' | 'flux' | 'runway' }; interface VisualPreferences { aspectRatio: '9:16' | '1:1' | '4:5'; resolution: '720p' | '1080p' | '4k'; style: 'cinematic' | 'documentary' | 'animated' | 'minimal'; colorGrading: string; } // AI image generation for shorts async function generateVisuals( script: ShortScript, style: VisualPreferences ): Promise<VisualAsset[]> { const scenes = extractScenes(script); return Promise.all(scenes.map(async (scene) => { const prompt = generateImagePrompt(scene, style); const image = await aiImageGenerator.generate(prompt); return { scene: scene.id, asset: image, duration: scene.duration, animation: selectAnimation(scene) }; })); } ``` ### Caption Generation > 📎 **Code example 2** (typescript) — see [references/examples.md](references/examples.md) ### Voiceover Synthesis ```typescript // Multi-provider voiceover support interface VoiceoverConfig { provider: VoiceProvider; voice: string; speed: number; pitch: number; emotion?: 'neutral' | 'excited' | 'calm' | 'serious'; } type VoiceProvider = | { type: 'elevenlabs'; voice: string; stability: number; clarity: number } | { type: 'edge-tts'; voice: string; rate: string; pitch: string } | { type: 'openai'; voice: 'alloy' | 'echo' | 'fable' | 'onyx' | 'nova' | 'shimmer' } | { type: 'custom'; modelPath: string }; // Voice selection by content type const VOICE_RECOMMENDATIONS = { educational: { provider: 'elevenlabs', style: 'clear, authoritative' }, entertainment: { provider: 'elevenlabs', style: 'energetic, expressive' }, storytelling: { provider: 'openai', voice: 'nova' }, tutorial: { provider: 'edge-tts', style: 'friendly, patient' } }; // Multi-language support const SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES = [ 'en-US', 'en-GB', 'es-ES', 'es-MX', 'fr-FR', 'de-DE', 'it-IT', 'pt-BR', 'pt-PT', 'ru-RU', 'zh-CN', 'ja-JP', 'ko-KR', 'hi-IN', 'ar-SA', 'pl-PL', 'nl-NL', 'tr-TR', 'vi-VN', 'th-TH', 'id-ID' ]; ``` ### Music & Sound Effects ```typescript // Background music management interface MusicConfig { genre: MusicGenre; mood: 'upbeat' | 'dramatic' | 'calm' | 'inspiring' | 'mysterious'; tempo: 'slow' | 'medium' | 'fast'; volumeLevel: number; // 0-100 fadeIn: number; // seconds fadeOut: number; ducking: boolean; // Lower during voiceover } type MusicGenre = | 'electronic' | 'hip-hop' | 'cinematic' | 'ambient' | 'pop' | 'rock' | 'classical' | 'lofi'; // Sound effect library interface SoundEffects { transitions: 'whoosh' | 'pop' | 'click' | 'swoosh'; emphasis: 'ding' | 'boom' | 'success' | 'notification'; ambient: 'crowd' | 'nature' | 'office' | 'city'; } // Auto-sync music to content async function selectBackgroundMusic( script: ShortScript, mood: MusicMood ): Promise<MusicTrack> { const duration = calculateDuration(script); const tempo = determineTempo(script.pacing); return musicLibrary.search({ duration: { min: duration, max: duration + 10 }, mood, tempo, copyrightFree: true }); } ``` ### Platform Optimization > 📎 **Code example 3** (typescript) — see [references/examples.md](references/examples.md) ### Trending Content Analysis ```typescript // Trend detection for viral content interface TrendAnalysis { topic: string; platform: ShortsPlatform; metrics: { searchVolume: number; growthRate: number; competitionLevel: 'low' | 'medium' | 'high'; viralPotential: number; // 0-100 }; suggestedAngles: string[]; bestPostingTimes: Date[]; hashtagRecommendations: string[]; } // Viral content patterns const VIRAL_PATTERNS = { satisfying: 'Oddly satisfying content with visual appeal', educational: 'Quick tips and life hacks', emotional: 'Heartwarming or shocking stories', challenge: 'Trending challenges and reactions', transformation: 'Before/after reveals', listicle: 'Top 5, 3 ways to..., etc.', controversy: 'Hot takes and unpopular opinions' }; // Content idea generator async function generateContentIdeas( niche: string, platform: ShortsPlatform, count: number ): Promise<ContentIdea[]> { const trends = await analyzeTrends(niche, platform); const patterns = selectPatterns(niche); return generateIdeas(trends, patterns, count); } ``` ### Batch Processing ```typescript // Bulk video generation interface BatchJob { id: string; videos: VideoRequest[]; status: 'queued' | 'processing' | 'completed' | 'failed'; progress: number; results: VideoResult[]; } async function batchGenerate( topics: string[], config: BatchConfig ): Promise<BatchJob> { const job = createBatchJob(topics.length); for (const topic of topics) { const video = await generateShort({ topic, style: config.style, platform: config.platform, language: config.language }); job.results.push(video); job.progress = (job.results.length / topics.length) * 100; } return job; } ``` ## Workflow Templates ### Topic to Short Workflow 1. **Input**: Topic or idea 2. **Research**: Trend analysis and angle selection 3. **Script**: Hook + body + CTA generation 4. **Voiceover**: Text-to-speech synthesis 5. **Visuals**: AI-generated or stock footage 6. **Captions**: Synchronized subtitles 7. **Music**: Background audio selection 8. **Rendering**: Final video assembly 9. **Optimization**: Platform-specific export ### URL to Short Workflow 1. **Input**: Blog post, article, or video URL 2. **Extraction**: Key points and quotes 3. **Condensation**: Summarize for short format 4. **Script**: Transform into engaging script 5. **Production**: Full video generation ## Best Practices ### Hook Optimization 1. Lead with the most compelling moment 2. Use pattern interrupts (visual/audio) 3. Ask intriguing questions 4. Make bold statements 5. Create curiosity gaps ### Retention Strategies 1. Quick cuts every 2-3 seconds 2. On-screen text reinforcement 3. Voice modulation and emphasis 4. B-roll variety 5. Music tempo matching content pace ### Platform Growth Tactics 1. Post consistently (1-3x daily) 2. Engage with comments immediately 3. Use trending sounds strategically 4. Cross-promote across platforms 5. Analyze and iterate based on data ## Output Format When generating shorts: 1. Full script with timing notes 2. Visual direction per segment 3. Voiceover specifications 4. Caption styling 5. Music recommendations 6. Platform-specific metadata --- ## Approach Before generating content, I will: ## Reference Materials For detailed code examples and implementation patterns, see [references/examples.md](references/examples.md).
