SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Short video generation often fails because prompts are vague, shots drift visually, and the wrong generation mode is chosen. This Skill enforces a script-first workflow: it drafts a shot-by-shot video script for user confirmation, selects the correct RedBox video mode, and only then calls the video generation API. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Script-First Workflow: Drafts a Markdown shot table (Time, Picture, Sound, Shot) with explicit duration and aspect ratio, and blocks generation until the user confirms. - Mode Routing: Maps requests to the official RedBox models: text-to-video (wan2.7-t2v-video), reference-guided (wan2.7-r2v-video), and first-last-frame (wan2.7-i2v-video). - Storyboard-First Planning: For multi-shot or continuity-sensitive videos, generates a core environment reference image and stable keyframes before video generation. - Video Project Packs: Organizes briefs, scripts, keyframes, clips, and outputs under media/video-projects/<id>/ for multi-shot or revision-heavy work. - Use Case: A creator asks for a 15-second product promo with three shots and a consistent character. The Skill drafts the shot table, asks whether storyboard keyframes should be generated first, and after confirmation calls app_cli video generate with the correct mode and reference assets. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a short video from your idea or reference images, and it will draft a shot-by-shot script for your confirmation before generating with the RedBox video API.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a short video from text with the RedBox video API?

Describe your idea and the Skill drafts a shot-by-shot script table with duration and aspect ratio for your confirmation. After approval, it calls app_cli video generate in text-to-video mode using the wan2.7-t2v-video model with no reference images.

What is the difference between reference-guided and first-last-frame video modes?

Reference-guided mode (wan2.7-r2v-video) uses 1 to 5 images as style, subject, or scene references. First-last-frame mode (wan2.7-i2v-video) requires exactly two images with explicit start and end semantics, and the prompt describes the transition between them.

When should I generate storyboard keyframes before video generation?

Use storyboard-first when the video has many shots, requires stable character identity, depends on environment continuity, or will be assembled from multiple clips. The workflow generates a core environment master frame first, then later keyframes that reuse the same subject and environment anchors.

Can I use a voice reference when generating videos?

Yes. If a suitable voice reference exists, it is passed as drivingAudio and labeled as Audio 1 in the prompt preface. When using a subject-library character, that character's saved voice reference is used by default unless you ask to disable or replace it.

What are the shot length limits for generated video clips?

A single shot should usually be 1 to 3 seconds and must not exceed 5 seconds without explicit user approval. A single generated clip must not exceed 15 seconds; longer narratives are split into multiple clips and concatenated with ffmpeg.
