description: Create vertical data-stat hooks: hero number, ramping counter or graph, closing meaning line, timed English captions (WeryAI). Use for dataviz Shorts, macro explainers, or ticker TikToks. Use when the user wants one metric to explain a trend. SEO: one number explains video; data hook video.

One number explains everything (hero digit → ramp → meaning)

Template (assume duration 10 unless scaled): 0–3s this number explains it all (user names which metric conceptually—caption stays short); 3–8s number grows / graph ramps—motion must not stop (tickers, bars, globe wireframe); 8–10s one conclusion line (user-themed). English subtitles with exact windows. Default duration is 10 when unspecified.

Dependencies: WERYAI_API_KEY + Node.js 18+. scripts/video_gen.js + WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md. No other Cursor skills required.

Prerequisites

WERYAI_API_KEY must be set; Node 18+. Prefer public https image URLs; if the assembled scripts/video_gen.js supports local file paths, review/verify the script and explicitly consent before local read-and-upload to WeryAI.
Non-empty model.

Security, secrets, and API hosts

WERYAI_API_KEY: Secret; never commit.
API hosts fixed in video_gen.js.
Local image handling disclosure: Prefer public https image URLs. If the assembled scripts/video_gen.js supports local file paths, it may read a local image and upload it to WeryAI to obtain a public URL; require review / verification and explicit consent before using that path.
Higher assurance: Prefer a short-lived or isolated environment; review scripts/video_gen.js before production use. Verify whether the runtime can read local image files and upload them to WeryAI, and obtain explicit consent before using that path.

Prompt expansion (mandatory)

Duration: Default 10; 5 or 15 when allowed and requested.
Timeline scaling: Rescale 0–3 / 3–8 / 8–10 proportionally; keep hook → ramp → meaning order.

Locked rhythm (example for duration 10):

0.0–3.0s — Hook: e.g. THIS NUMBER EXPLAINS EVERYTHING (or embed the name of the metric in ≤6 words).
3.0–8.0s — Ramp beat—split into two on-screen lines if needed (3–5.5 WATCH IT CLIMB, 5.5–8.0 FASTER THAN YOU THINK)—customize to user tone.
8.0–10.0s — Meaning: e.g. HERE’S WHAT IT MEANS (user supplies specific kicker in brief—you compress to ≤6 words).

Visuals: Giant numeral, neon graph, motion blur streaks, particles; refresh chart at least every ~1s.

Typography: Huge readable words + numeric; outline; lower third for sentences, center for hero digit moments if described.

Negatives (Kling): garbled digits, illegible captions, watermark.

Confirmation: Full prompt.

Niche checklist

If real stats matter to the user, they must approve final wording—you still compress for on-screen limits.
Avoid fake precision—prefer “illustrative counter” language in prompt if not citing sources.

Workflow

Text / image / multi-image (SEEDANCE_2_0, ≤3).
Collect which metric / metaphor.
Expand → validate → confirm → wait.

CLI reference

node scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '{"model":"KLING_V3_0_PRO","prompt":"…","duration":10,"aspect_ratio":"9:16","generate_audio":true,"negative_prompt":"illegible text, garbled numbers, watermark"}'
node scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '{"model":"SEEDANCE_2_0","prompt":"…","duration":10,"aspect_ratio":"9:16","resolution":"720p","generate_audio":true}'

Full reference: WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md.

Definition of done

Video or error; hook / ramp / meaning subtitle structure explicit in prompt with second ranges scaled to duration (or user-approved subdivision).

Boundaries (out of scope)

Not a data journalism vetting pipeline.
resources/WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md for CLI; no negative_prompt on Seedance.
Multi-image only SEEDANCE_2_0, max 3.

Example prompts

Metric: compound growth—counter ramp, meaning about time
Metric: attention minutes per day—punchy closer
Chart image URL → animate growth with same windows
Inflation or CPI vibe—counter climbs, meaning line about purchasing power

duration	10
generate_audio	true
resolution	720p (Seedance)
negative_prompt	Kling: `illegible text, garbled numbers, watermark`

Text-to-video (primary)

User gives topic for the number → you craft three beats → confirm.

Image-to-video (optional)

Static chart → ramp animation + captions.

Tips

Sound: describe tick + whoosh—helps perceived pacing.
Translate user Chinese brief to English on-screen lines unless specified.
