Video prompting

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

Install

| 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, 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.

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 | 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](./references/prompt-dramaturgy.md). Audio-led clips: ≤ ~19s TTS before embed — see [audio-in-video-prompting.md](./references/audio-in-video-prompting.md).

Before generating

1. Follow generation-diversity first.
2. Read in order:

• [prompt-dramaturgy.md](./references/prompt-dramaturgy.md) — Details Law, OPEN/MID/CLOSE
• [camera-lighting-vocabulary.md](./references/camera-lighting-vocabulary.md)
• [physics-safe-motion.md](./references/physics-safe-motion.md)
• [audio-in-video-prompting.md](./references/audio-in-video-prompting.md) when sound matters
• [clip-chaining.md](./references/clip-chaining.md) for multi-clip continuity
• [scene-anchor-pair.md](./references/scene-anchor-pair.md) / [scene-anchor-triple.md](./references/scene-anchor-triple.md) for frame (+ audio) payloads

1. Tool-specific craft when needed:

• [p-video-avatar-prompting.md](./references/p-video-avatar-prompting.md)
• [p-video-animate-prompting.md](./references/p-video-animate-prompting.md)
• [p-video-replace-prompting.md](./references/p-video-replace-prompting.md)

1. Validate with the matching *-quality-checklist.md in ./references/.
