Promo Video Studio (HyperFrames)

What this agent can do

• embedded-captions

  Add captions to a talking-head video. ONE catalog (CATALOG.md) of 32 visual identities behind two engines: column-flow (captions composited INTO the scene — matte occlusion + mix-blend; cream/ink/editorial/keynote/documentary/loud/neon/glitch/chrome/velocity) and themed constitutions (anchor/ordnance/terminal/neonsign/stardust/stomp/scoreboard/transit/vhs/arcade/dossier/laser/thunder/hologram/biolume/aurora/spectrum/papercut/popup/chalkboard/graffiti/brush/inkwater/ransom/lastpage/nightcity — e.g. a glyph-decode climax, a neon sign WRITTEN stroke by stroke, or the quiet `anchor` rail default). Route by identity, never by mode. Trigger on "captions/subtitles", "embed/cinematic captions", "VFX captions", "炸/特效/酷炫字幕", a named identity, or top-tier motion-graphics asks. Embedding every word is wrong for most talking-head content — `anchor` is the verbatim default. Pipeline: transcription → hyperframes remove-background matting → HTML render → ffmpeg overlay. Requires hyperframes and a single-subject clip.

• faceless-explainer

  faceless-explainer video workflow - arbitrary text (article / notes / topic / brief) -> narrator_scripts.json + audio (voice + BGM) + section_plan.md -> typography / abstract-graphics / diagram / data-viz video. Typical length up to ~3 min (sweet spot ~30-90s); a genuinely longer piece is general-video, not this workflow. Generates its OWN narration (TTS) — it does not sync to a user-supplied / pre-recorded voiceover (that is general-video). No website capture, no real product screenshots. If the text names a product / its site to promote, that is /product-launch-video; when product-vs-topic is unclear, start at /hyperframes-read-first.

• general-video

  Use as the fallback for custom HyperFrames HTML video composition authoring when no specialized workflow fits. Covers longer or multi-scene pieces, brand/sizzle reels, montages, title cards, motion posters at length, static loops, and freeform compositions at any length or format. Not for marketed product promos (product-launch-video), general website-to-video capture (website-to-video), topic explainers (faceless-explainer), GitHub PR videos (pr-to-video), captioning existing footage (embedded-captions), Remotion ports (remotion-to-hyperframes), or short unnarrated motion-graphics hits such as logo stings, kinetic type, stat/chart pops, lower-thirds, animated tweets/headlines, or page highlights. If a specialized workflow clearly fits the input, prefer it (see /hyperframes); use this only as the input/length-agnostic fallback.

• graphic-overlays

  Package an existing talking-head / interview / podcast video by layering timed, designed GRAPHIC OVERLAY cards onto the playing video — titles, lower-thirds, data callouts, quotes, side panels, picture-in-picture — synced to the transcript. The source video plays in full; the agent designs and writes each card's HTML in conversation, then renders to MP4 via hyperframes. Use when the user asks for graphic overlays, on-screen graphics / lower-thirds / data callouts / kinetic titles on a video, "package / dress up my video", "add overlay cards / graphic cards", or AI-composed graphic packaging of an existing video. NOT for plain subtitles (→ embedded-captions) or building a video from scratch (→ the creation workflows); when unsure overlays-vs-captions, see /hyperframes-read-first.

• hyperframes

  Create video compositions, animations, title cards, overlays, captions, voiceovers, audio-reactive visuals, and scene transitions in HyperFrames HTML. Use when asked to build any HTML-based video content, add captions or subtitles synced to audio, generate text-to-speech narration, create audio-reactive animation (beat sync, glow, pulse driven by music), add animated text highlighting (marker sweeps, hand-drawn circles, burst lines, scribble, sketchout), or add transitions between scenes (crossfades, wipes, reveals, shader transitions). Covers composition authoring, timing, media, and the full video production workflow. For dev-loop CLI commands (init, lint, inspect, preview, render) see the hyperframes-cli skill; for asset preprocessing commands (tts, transcribe, remove-background) see the hyperframes-media skill.

• hyperframes-animation

  All animation knowledge for HyperFrames — atomic motion rules, multi-phase scene blueprints, scene transitions, broader motion-design techniques, AND the seven runtime adapters (GSAP default, plus Lottie, Three.js, Anime.js, CSS keyframes, Web Animations API, TypeGPU). Use for any motion or animation task: pick 2-4 rules and compose, or load a blueprint, or look up runtime-specific API (e.g. GSAP eases / Lottie player / Three.js mixer). HyperFrames-native: single paused timeline, seek-safe, deterministic.

• hyperframes-cli

  HyperFrames CLI dev loop — `npx hyperframes` for scaffolding (init), validation (lint, inspect), preview, render, and environment troubleshooting (doctor, browser, info, upgrade). Use when running any of these commands or troubleshooting the HyperFrames build/render environment. For asset preprocessing commands (`tts`, `transcribe`, `remove-background`), invoke the `hyperframes-media` skill instead.

• hyperframes-core

  HyperFrames HTML composition contract. Use for composition structure, data attributes, clips, tracks, sub-compositions, variables, media playback, deterministic render rules, and validation of minimal renderable projects.

• hyperframes-creative

  Non-animation creative direction for HyperFrames videos. Use for design spec (frame.md / design.md) handling, palettes, typography, narration, beat planning, audio-reactive visuals, composition patterns, and brand / style decisions. For atomic motion patterns and scene blueprints, use `hyperframes-animation`.

• hyperframes-media

  Asset preprocessing for HyperFrames compositions — multi-provider TTS (HeyGen / ElevenLabs / Kokoro local), multi-provider BGM (Google Lyria / local MusicGen), Whisper transcription, background removal, and caption authoring. Use for npx hyperframes tts, bgm, transcribe, remove-background, voice/provider selection, music-mood prompting, captions / subtitles / lyrics / karaoke / per-word styling.

• hyperframes-registry

  Install and wire registry blocks and components into HyperFrames compositions. Use when running hyperframes add, installing a block or component, wiring an installed item into index.html, or working with hyperframes.json. Covers the add command, install locations, block sub-composition wiring, component snippet merging, registry discovery, and authoring a new block or component to contribute upstream (idea → scaffold → validate → PR).

• motion-graphics

  Use when the user wants a short, design-led motion graphic where motion is the message: kinetic typography, stat or number count-up, chart/data-viz hit, logo sting, brand lockup, lower-third, callout, social overlay, animated headline/tweet/news item, motion poster, or quick captured-page highlight. Usually under 10s and up to ~30s, with no narration arc, voice-over, or live-action subject. Can render to MP4 or transparent overlay. Not for longer, multi-scene, narrated, or brand-reel pieces (use general-video), narrated website videos (website-to-video), topic explainers (faceless-explainer), product promos (product-launch-video), PR videos (pr-to-video), or captions on existing footage (embedded-captions). When unsure whether it's a quick motion-first piece or a longer / narrated treatment, see /hyperframes.

• pr-to-video

  pr-to-video workflow - a GitHub pull request (URL like github.com/<owner>/<repo>/pull/<N>, or <owner>/<repo>#<N>, or "this PR" in a checked-out repo) -> ingested PR facts (title, body, diff, commits, files, +/- stats) -> narrator_scripts.json + audio (voice + BGM) + section_plan.md -> code-diff / before-after / impact explainer video. Input is a CODE CHANGE. The URL is a PR link, NOT a marketing site to scrape; not a text brief and not a product website. For a non-PR input (product site, general website, topic text), see /hyperframes-read-first.

• product-launch-video

  Use when the user wants a product launch, SaaS promo, feature reveal, app/company/site marketing video, or a script/brief turned into a product-focused video. Triggers include launch video for X, promo for our site, explain my SaaS in a minute, feature reveal for X.com, and turn this script into a 60s promo. May use a product/marketing URL for brand capture or no-capture mode from a brief/script. Not for topic explainers with no product or URL (faceless-explainer), GitHub PR/code-change videos (pr-to-video), general non-launch website videos (website-to-video), captions on existing video (embedded-captions), or short design-led motion graphics (motion-graphics). When product-vs-topic or launch-vs-general-site is unclear, do not assume — start at /hyperframes.

• remotion-to-hyperframes

  Translate an existing Remotion (React-based) video composition into a HyperFrames HTML composition. Use ONLY when the user explicitly asks to port, convert, migrate, translate, or rewrite a Remotion composition as HyperFrames (e.g. "port my Remotion project to HyperFrames"). Do NOT use when (a) authoring a NEW HyperFrames composition (even if A/B-testing a Remotion video); (b) Remotion is mentioned in passing; (c) Remotion code is shared as reference, not for translation; (d) the user wants "the same video as my Remotion one" without explicitly asking to migrate the source — treat as a fresh HyperFrames build. When in doubt, default to the `hyperframes` skill. Detects unsupported patterns (useState, useEffect side effects, async calculateMetadata, third-party React component libraries, `@remotion/lambda`) and recommends the runtime interop escape hatch instead of a lossy translation.

• slideshow

  Author a HyperFrames slideshow composition — a presentation, pitch deck, or interactive deck with discrete slides, fragment reveals, branching sequences, and hotspot navigation. Read when the request is to build or edit a slideshow, presentation, or pitch deck as a HyperFrames composition.

• website-to-video

  Capture a general website/URL and turn it into a HyperFrames video (site tour, showcase, or social clip from the site's own visuals). Uses headless Chrome screenshots + brand assets. Use when intent is general — portfolio/blog/landing-page showcase or social clip from the site. NOT for: product/SaaS launch or promo (→ /product-launch-video, even from a URL); topic explainer with no site (→ /faceless-explainer); GitHub PR (→ /pr-to-video); adding captions to existing video (→ /embedded-captions); short unnarrated page-highlight motion graphic (→ /motion-graphics).
