What problem does it solve?
This Skill simplifies generating videos from natural language prompts and optional starter images by handling API submission, status polling, and downloading the resulting file so users don't need to orchestrate the full workflow manually.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Text-to-Video Generation: Create videos from descriptive prompts using a configurable model.
- Optional First Frame Control: Accepts a URL or local image file and converts local images to base64 data URIs to control the video's starting frame.
- Automated Task Management: Submits generation tasks to the Ark runtime, polls for completion, and downloads the final video to a specified filename.
- Use Case: Produce short social media clips, demo videos, or concept visualizations from simple textual descriptions and an optional seed image.
Quick Start
Run the script video_generate.py with a filename and a descriptive prompt, optionally providing a first-frame image path or URL.
