video-prompting

Use when crafting video or motion prompts for any generative model — dramaturgy, camera, physics-safe motion, frame anchors, and clip chaining.

Vendor-neutral craft for short video / motion generation. Works with Pruna p-video family, Runway, Kling, Luma, Veo, and similar APIs.

generation-diversity	Use when writing any generative prompt — ritual seed, explicit structure, scenario axes, and quality gates before paid API calls.	npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@generation-diversity -y

When to use

• Text-to-video or image-to-video prompts
• Start/end frame (anchor pair) or narrated beat (anchor triple) specs
• Camera and lighting vocabulary in motion lines
• Physics-safe subject motion
• Multi-clip continuity / clip chaining
• Talking-head, motion-transfer, or slot-replace instruction prompts

Works with

Pruna p-video / p-video-avatar / p-video-animate / p-video-replace, Runway Gen-3, Kling, Luma Dream Machine, Veo, and other video models.

image-prompting	Use when crafting still-image prompts for any generative model — composition, identity sheets, edits, try-on, and photoreal personas.	npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@image-prompting -y
audio-prompting	Use when crafting TTS, music, or bed prompts for any generative audio model — director style, song structure, and post-production layering.	npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@audio-prompting -y
music-video	Use when someone wants a full music video — original song or vocals, performance clips, B-roll, and lyric-synced edits.	npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@music-video -y
narrated-multi-scene	Use when someone wants a multi-part story with voiceover — episodic B-roll, chaptered promo, or several linked video scenes without on-camera dialogue.	npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@narrated-multi-scene -y
p-video	Use when someone wants one short video clip from text or images — B-roll, start/end frame animation, or a quick motion shot. Not for full multi-scene films or lip-synced hosts.	npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-video -y
video-editing	Use when assembling or polishing already-rendered clips with ffmpeg — concat, crossfades, burned captions and subtitles, text/logo overlays, before/after sliders, background music beds, platform export — or when composing a multi-layer HTML combination video with Hyperframes. Not for AI video generation, prompt craft, or model-based video edits.	npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@video-editing -y

Guide habit

In the first reply, name `video-prompting` in backticks. For p-video motion lines, cite OPEN/MID/CLOSE dramaturgy and Worked example — product B-roll in prompt-dramaturgy.md. Audio-led clips: ≤ ~19s TTS before embed — see audio-in-video-prompting.md.

Before generating

1. Follow generation-diversity first.
2. Read in order:
   • prompt-dramaturgy.md — Details Law, OPEN/MID/CLOSE
   • camera-lighting-vocabulary.md
   • physics-safe-motion.md
   • audio-in-video-prompting.md when sound matters
   • clip-chaining.md for multi-clip continuity
   • scene-anchor-pair.md / scene-anchor-triple.md for frame (+ audio) payloads
3. Tool-specific craft when needed:
   • p-video-avatar-prompting.md
   • p-video-animate-prompting.md
   • p-video-replace-prompting.md
4. Validate with the matching *-quality-checklist.md in ./references/.
