SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Building longer, multi-scene videos — brand reels, montages, title cards, footage remixes — requires coordinating storyboards, motion blueprints, media assets, audio, and rendering checks; this Skill orchestrates that entire HyperFrames composition workflow when no specialized video workflow fits. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Brief-driven project setup: Reads or creates BRIEF.md, scaffolds projects via npx hyperframes init, and routes between automation and companion (co-creation) flows. - Multi-scene planning and dispatch: Records one storyboard block per scene, cites motion blueprints and rules, and can fan out scene builds to parallel frame workers using the frame-packets script. - Deterministic composition and verification: Enforces the HyperFrames composition contract (timed clips, seek-safe timelines, no render-time randomness) and gates delivery on npx hyperframes check, design adherence, and final preview approval before render. - Use Case: Ask for a 30-second brand sizzle reel from your logo, footage clips, and a tagline; the Skill plans the scenes, builds each composition with cited motion treatments, assembles audio and transitions, and renders after your approval. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a multi-scene brand reel video from your footage and logo using the general-video workflow, then approve the plan and final preview before rendering.

Frequently Asked Questions about general-video

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a multi-scene video with HyperFrames?

Run the general-video workflow: it reads or creates a BRIEF.md, plans one storyboard block per scene with cited motion blueprints, builds each scene composition, assembles media and audio, and renders after you approve the final Studio preview.

When should I use general-video instead of motion-graphics?

Use general-video for longer or multi-scene pieces like brand reels, montages, title cards, and footage remixes, or when BRIEF.md sets flow to companion. Use motion-graphics for a short unnarrated motion-first unit such as an animated title.

How do I trim or reorder existing footage in a HyperFrames composition?

Duplicate the same video source into multiple clip elements, set the source range with data-media-start plus data-duration, and set placement with data-start. Matching audio elements follow identical clip ranges and timing.

When does general-video dispatch scenes to parallel workers?

Dispatch pays off only above roughly six short scenes or for individually heavy scenes; smaller films build faster inline. When dispatching, each worker gets 2-3 scene packets generated by the frame-packets script, all spawned in a single wave.

Why does general-video fail verification before rendering?

The final gate requires npx hyperframes check to pass, which includes lint, plus resolved contrast findings and design adherence review when a design spec exists. Rendering is blocked until checks pass and you approve the final Studio preview.
