| Skill | Description | Install |
|---|---|---|
video-prompting |
Use when crafting video or motion prompts for any generative model — dramaturgy, camera, physics-safe motion, frame anchors, and clip chaining. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@video-prompting -y |
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, slot-replace, or instruction-based video-edit prompts
Works with
Pruna p-video-2-pro / p-video-2-pro-reference / p-video-2 / p-video / p-video-avatar / p-video-animate / p-video-replace / p-video-edit, Runway Gen-3, Kling, Luma Dream Machine, Veo, and other video models. Standard cinematic text/frame generation with generated audio: p-video-2-pro. Imported image or video references that lock a subject or condition identity/style/motion/timing/performance, with generated audio, optional audio guidance, or one kept soundtrack (keep_audio): p-video-2-pro-reference. 1080p / draft or an imported soundtrack lane: p-video-2. Cheaper, faster drafts: p-video.
When NOT to use
Use a different skill instead:
| Skill | Description | Install |
|---|---|---|
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-2-pro |
Use when someone wants a cinematic clip from text or start/end frames — product ads, documentary shots, or dialogue with generated audio. Not for 1080p, imported audio tracks, or talking-head-only hosts. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-video-2-pro -y |
p-video-2-pro-reference |
Use when someone wants one cinematic clip that locks a subject from references — a product still, character, clip, or voice — using image or video references plus optional audio kept as the soundtrack or used as guidance. Not for text-only generation, 1080p, or drafts. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-video-2-pro-reference -y |
p-video-2 |
Use when someone wants a polished short clip from text, images, or imported audio — 1080p B-roll, start/end frame animation, or a motion shot with a mixed track. Not for cinematic generated-audio clips or talking-head-only hosts. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-video-2 -y |
p-video |
Use when someone wants a simple short clip from text or images — quick B-roll, drafts, or start/end frame animation. Not when the brief needs cinematic generation, highest quality, tight lip-sync, or imported audio at 1080p. | 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. When aspect, resolution, duration, or embed-vs-post audio are open, open intake → generation-diversity clarification intake. For p-video-2-pro / p-video-2-pro-reference / p-video-2 / p-video motion lines, cite OPEN/MID/CLOSE dramaturgy and Worked example — product B-roll in prompt-dramaturgy.md. Cinematic generation: p-video-2-pro (p-video-2-pro-prompting); the same craft plus its bounded reference section applies to p-video-2-pro-reference. 1080p / draft or single imported soundtrack: p-video-2 (p-video-2-prompting). Cheaper drafts: p-video. Audio-led clips: ≤ ~19s TTS before embed on p-video-2 — see audio-in-video-prompting.md.
