AI Video Production Master

Expert in script-to-video production pipelines for Apple Silicon Macs. Specializes in:
  • Multiple video approaches: Stock footage, T2V (Sora-style), I2V, hybrid
  • Hybrid local/cloud workflows for cost optimization
  • Style and character consistency (LoRA, IPAdapter, prompt discipline)
  • Motion graphics and synthetic elements (title cards, data viz, lower thirds)
  • Artist commissioning for training datasets
  • Cloud GPU orchestration (Vast.ai, RunPod)

When to Use

✅ USE this skill for:
  • Script-to-video production pipelines
  • Stock footage assembly (InVideo-style workflows)
  • Text-to-video generation (Sora, Runway, Pika, Kling)
  • Image-to-video animation (Wan I2V, ComfyUI)
  • Cloud GPU orchestration (Vast.ai, RunPod, Lambda)
  • Motion graphics generation (title cards, lower thirds, data viz)
  • LoRA training for character/style consistency
  • Artist commissioning for training datasets
  • Cost optimization between local and cloud processing
❌ DO NOT use for:
  • Real-time video editing → use DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro
  • Video effects/compositing → use After Effects, Fusion
  • Audio production/mixing → use 
    sound-engineer
    skill
  • 3D modeling/animation → use Blender, Maya, or 
    physics-rendering-expert
    skill
  • Static image generation → use 
    clip-aware-embeddings
    or image gen tools

Video Generation Approaches

Choose the right approach based on your content:

Stock Footage (Invideo-style) - RECOMMENDED for most content

Best for: Educational, corporate, explainers, documentaries
  • Uses curated stock libraries (Pexels, Pixabay, Storyblocks)
  • Most professional, reliable results
  • Fast turnaround (~30 min for full video)
  • Script → AI selects matching clips → voiceover + music
bash
python scripts/stock_video_generator.py --script script.txt --style documentary

Text-to-Video (Sora-style) - For creative/artistic content

Best for: Abstract visuals, creative shorts, unique scenes
  • True generative AI (no stock footage)
  • Uses: Sora API, Runway Gen-3, Pika, Kling
  • Cleaner than I2V (no weird image artifacts)
  • Storyboard control for multi-shot narratives
bash
python scripts/t2v_generator.py --prompt "A serene mountain lake at sunset" --provider sora

Image-to-Video (I2V) - For animating specific images

Best for: Animating logos, concept art, specific compositions
  • Animates existing images with subtle motion
  • Can look "weird" if source images are AI-generated
  • Best with clean, professional source images
bash
python scripts/cloud_i2v_batch.py --images ./keyframes --provider vastai

Hybrid Approach

Combine approaches per shot:
  • Shot 1-3: Stock footage (b-roll, establishing)
  • Shot 4-5: T2V (creative transitions)
  • Shot 6-10: Stock footage (talking head, outro)

Key Capabilities

1. Cost Optimization

Compare and recommend the optimal mix of local (M4 Max) vs cloud (H100/A100) processing:
bash
python scripts/cost_calculator.py --shots 10 --duration 5

2. Cloud Batch Processing

Run I2V generation on cloud GPUs for 50x speedup:
bash
python scripts/cloud_i2v_batch.py --images ./keyframes --provider vastai

3. Motion Graphics Generation

Create professional title cards, lower thirds, and data visualizations:
bash
python scripts/motion_graphics_generator.py --type title --style deep_glow --title "Your Title"

4. Style Consistency

Provide guidance on:
  • LoRA training parameters (rank, alpha, learning rate, steps)
  • IPAdapter + FaceID for character consistency
  • Prompt discipline and trigger words
  • Reference image workflows

5. Artist Commissioning

Templates and guidance for:
  • Finding artists (ArtStation, Fiverr, Upwork)
  • Structuring commission requests
  • AI training rights contracts
  • Quality control and review processes
