SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Videos assembled from images generated at different times without shared rules read as a collage of accidents. This Skill settles the look of a video before anything is made, turning vague adjectives into specific, testable rules that keep every generated asset consistent across an entire film. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three style routes: Supports bringing your own references, receiving a proposed style based on subject and audience, or applying institutional brand compliance (e.g., ASU visual identity). - Five-answer rule set: Pins down colours as hex codes, edge treatment, motion behaviour, typography, and texture as rules specific enough to be broken, plus a one-sentence "what it must not look like" statement. - Style preamble generation: Compresses the decisions into one paragraph pasted verbatim at the head of every image-generation prompt so separately generated images read as one film. - Use Case: Before building a Remotion video about a research tool, use this Skill to decide the palette, stepped motion, and single typeface, then hand the written rules to the asset-generation step so all 28 images look like one film. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help you choose a visual style for your video by proposing a look based on your subject and audience, then write the decision down as rules.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose a visual style for a video made with code?▼

Start from two or three existing videos you like and watch them for rules rather than ideas. Then pin down five answers: colours as hex codes, edge treatment, motion behaviour, one typeface, and texture, and write them as rules specific enough to be broken.

How do I keep AI-generated images consistent across one video?▼

Compress your style decisions into a single paragraph and paste it unchanged at the head of every image-generation prompt. This style preamble is the main reason separately generated images read as one film rather than a collage.

Should I apply a brand style like ASU colours to my video?▼

Only if the person explicitly asks for it. An institutional email domain or the word "class" is not an instruction to apply a brand. Accessibility rules like readable contrast and captions apply regardless of which route is chosen.

Can a video have a visual style with no images at all?▼

Yes. A video about an idea or process can be drawn entirely in code using shapes, lines, and text. This is a style decision like any other, written down with the same five answers minus texture, and it must avoid invented interfaces.

When should the frame rate of a video be decided?▼

Leave the frame rate open until the first motion test, because any footage in the video arrives at its own rate and that rate wins. Where nothing constrains it, 30 frames per second is the default.
