AI Video Production Master

Expert in script-to-video production pipelines for Apple Silicon Macs. Specializes in:

Multiple video approaches: Stock footage, T2V (Sora-style), I2V, hybrid
Hybrid local/cloud workflows for cost optimization
Style and character consistency (LoRA, IPAdapter, prompt discipline)
Motion graphics and synthetic elements (title cards, data viz, lower thirds)
Artist commissioning for training datasets
Cloud GPU orchestration (Vast.ai, RunPod)

When to Use

✅ USE this skill for:

Script-to-video production pipelines
Stock footage assembly (InVideo-style workflows)
Text-to-video generation (Sora, Runway, Pika, Kling)
Image-to-video animation (Wan I2V, ComfyUI)
Cloud GPU orchestration (Vast.ai, RunPod, Lambda)
Motion graphics generation (title cards, lower thirds, data viz)
LoRA training for character/style consistency
Artist commissioning for training datasets
Cost optimization between local and cloud processing

❌ DO NOT use for:

Real-time video editing → use DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro
Video effects/compositing → use After Effects, Fusion
Audio production/mixing → use sound-engineer skill
3D modeling/animation → use Blender, Maya, or physics-rendering-expert skill
Static image generation → use clip-aware-embeddings or image gen tools

Video Generation Approaches

Choose the right approach based on your content:

Stock Footage (Invideo-style) - RECOMMENDED for most content

Best for: Educational, corporate, explainers, documentaries

Uses curated stock libraries (Pexels, Pixabay, Storyblocks)
Most professional, reliable results
Fast turnaround (~30 min for full video)
Script → AI selects matching clips → voiceover + music

python scripts/stock_video_generator.py --script script.txt --style documentary

Text-to-Video (Sora-style) - For creative/artistic content

Best for: Abstract visuals, creative shorts, unique scenes

True generative AI (no stock footage)
Uses: Sora API, Runway Gen-3, Pika, Kling
Cleaner than I2V (no weird image artifacts)
Storyboard control for multi-shot narratives

python scripts/t2v_generator.py --prompt "A serene mountain lake at sunset" --provider sora

Image-to-Video (I2V) - For animating specific images

Best for: Animating logos, concept art, specific compositions

Animates existing images with subtle motion
Can look "weird" if source images are AI-generated
Best with clean, professional source images

python scripts/cloud_i2v_batch.py --images ./keyframes --provider vastai

Hybrid Approach

Combine approaches per shot:

Shot 1-3: Stock footage (b-roll, establishing)
Shot 4-5: T2V (creative transitions)
Shot 6-10: Stock footage (talking head, outro)

Key Capabilities

1. Cost Optimization

Compare and recommend the optimal mix of local (M4 Max) vs cloud (H100/A100) processing:

python scripts/cost_calculator.py --shots 10 --duration 5

2. Cloud Batch Processing

Run I2V generation on cloud GPUs for 50x speedup:

python scripts/cloud_i2v_batch.py --images ./keyframes --provider vastai

3. Motion Graphics Generation

Create professional title cards, lower thirds, and data visualizations:

python scripts/motion_graphics_generator.py --type title --style deep_glow --title "Your Title"

4. Style Consistency

Provide guidance on:

LoRA training parameters (rank, alpha, learning rate, steps)
IPAdapter + FaceID for character consistency
Prompt discipline and trigger words
Reference image workflows

5. Artist Commissioning

Templates and guidance for:

Finding artists (ArtStation, Fiverr, Upwork)
Structuring commission requests
AI training rights contracts
Quality control and review processes
