Use this skill to choose the right current model stack, write stronger motion prompts, and run reliable async video pipelines. ## Architecture User preferences persist in `~/video-generation/`. See `memory-template.md` for setup. ```text ~/video-generation/ ├── memory.md # Preferred providers, model routing, reusable shot recipes └── history.md # Optional run log for jobs, costs, and outputs ``` ## Quick Reference | Topic | File | |-------|------| | Initial setup | `setup.md` | | Memory template | `memory-template.md` | | Migration guide | `migration.md` | | Model snapshot | `benchmarks.md` | | Async API patterns | `api-patterns.md` | | OpenAI Sora 2 | `openai-sora.md` | | Google Veo 3.x | `google-veo.md` | | Runway Gen-4 | `runway.md` | | Luma Ray | `luma.md` | | ByteDance Seedance | `seedance.md` | | Kling | `kling.md` | | Vidu | `vidu.md` | | Pika via Fal | `pika.md` | | MiniMax Hailuo | `minimax-hailuo.md` | | Replicate routing | `replicate.md` | | Open-source local models | `open-source-video.md` | | Distribution playbook | `promotion.md` | ## Core Rules ### 1. Resolve model aliases before API calls Map community names to real API model IDs first. Examples: `sora-2`, `sora-2-pro`, `veo-3.0-generate-001`, `gen4_turbo`, `gen4_aleph`. ### 2. Route by task, not brand preference | Task | First choice | Backup | |------|--------------|--------| | Premium prompt-only generation | `sora-2-pro` | `veo-3.1-generate-001` | | Fast drafts at lower cost | `veo-3.1-fast-generate-001` | `gen4_turbo` | | Long-form cinematic shots | `gen4_aleph` | `ray-2` | | Strong image-to-video control | `veo-3.0-generate-001` | `gen4_turbo` | | Multi-shot narrative consistency | Seedance family | `hailuo-2.3` | | Local privacy-first workflows | Wan2.2 / HunyuanVideo | CogVideoX | ### 3. Draft cheap, finish expensive Start with low duration and lower tier, validate motion and composition, then rerender winners with premium models or longer durations. ### 4. Design prompts as shot instructions Always include subject, action, camera motion, lens style, lighting, and scene timing. For references and start/end frames, keep continuity constraints explicit. ### 5. Assume async and failure by default Every provider pipeline must support queued jobs, polling/backoff, retries, cancellation, and signed-URL download before expiry. ### 6. Keep a fallback chain If the preferred model is blocked or overloaded: 1) same provider lower tier, 2) equivalent cross-provider model, 3) open model/local run. ## Common Traps - Using nickname-only model labels in code -> avoidable API failures - Pushing 8-10 second generations before validating a 3-5 second draft -> wasted credits - Cropping after generation instead of generating native ratio -> lower composition quality - Ignoring prompt enhancement toggles -> tone drift across providers - Reusing expired output URLs -> broken export workflows - Treating all providers as synchronous -> stalled jobs and bad timeout handling ## External Endpoints | Provider | Endpoint | Data Sent | Purpose | |----------|----------|-----------|---------| | OpenAI | `api.openai.com` | Prompt text, optional input images/video refs | Sora 2 video generation | | Google Vertex AI | `aiplatform.googleapis.com` | Prompt text, optional image input, generation params | Veo 3.x generation | | Runway | `api.dev.runwayml.com` | Prompt text, optional input media | Gen-4 generation and image-to-video | | Luma | `api.lumalabs.ai` | Prompt text, optional keyframes/start-end images | Ray generation | | Fal | `queue.fal.run` | Prompt text, optional input media | Pika and Hailuo hosted APIs | | Replicate | `api.replicate.com` | Prompt text, optional input media | Multi-model routing and experimentation | | Vidu | `api.vidu.com` | Prompt text, optional start/end/reference images | Vidu text/image/reference video APIs | | Tencent MPS | `mps.tencentcloudapi.com` | Prompt text and generation parameters | Unified AIGC video task APIs | No other data is sent externally. ## Security & Privacy **Data that leaves your machine:** - Prompt text - Optional reference images or clips - Requested rendering parameters (duration, resolution, aspect ratio) **Data that stays local:** - Provider preferences in `~/video-generation/memory.md` - Optional local job history in `~/video-generation/history.md` **This skill does NOT:** - Store API keys in project files - Upload media outside requested provider calls - Delete local assets unless the user asks ## Trust This skill can send prompts and media references to third-party AI providers. Only install if you trust those providers with your content. ## Related Skills Install with `clawhub install <slug>` if user confirms: - `image-generation` - Build still concepts and keyframes before video generation - `image-edit` - Prepare clean references, masks, and style frames - `video-edit` - Post-process generated clips and final exports - `video-captions` - Add subtitle and text overlay workflows - `ffmpeg` - Compose, transcode, and package production outputs ## Feedback - If useful: `clawhub star video-generation` - Stay updated: `clawhub sync`
