# video-motion-craft One skill for two jobs that always travel together in real work: - **Build** a video from code — motion graphics, reels, intros, promos, titles (Remotion). - **Edit** real footage — trimming, silence removal, captions, overlays, speed (FFmpeg + Whisper). The bottleneck is **not the code, it is motion design craft**. An uncalibrated model produces linear easing, opacity-only fades, simultaneous entrances, flat fills and silence. That is the "cheap AI video" look. The whole point of this skill is to stop that from happening. ## Picking the route | What is asked | Route | |---|---| | Video from scratch: intro, reel, promo, titles, logo animation | **Remotion** → `references/remotion-patterns.md` | | Existing video: trim, cut silence, burn captions/text, change speed | **FFmpeg** → `references/ffmpeg-editing.md` | | Footage that needs packaging: intro + grade + grain + captions on top | **Hybrid** — footage as an `<OffthreadVideo>` layer inside Remotion | | Game trailer, store showcase, app screen recording | **`references/game-capture.md` first** — how to get the material, then Remotion | | A video cut to a specific track | **`references/beat-sync.md` first**, everything else after | Mixed case ("edit this screencast and give it an intro") — an FFmpeg pass over the footage first, then Remotion on top of the finished clip. ## Non-negotiable rules They apply to **every** composition. Break one deliberately if you must, but every break gets written into
