Generate Video

Create one controlled video clip from text, a start frame, an optional end frame, or other model-supported references. Use the planning, UGC, or film skills when the deliverable is a larger production. Use creativeclaw-render-html-video only when the user explicitly requests HTML/HyperFrames/code-driven rendering; use creativeclaw-add-video-intro-outro for video bookends.

Workflow

1. Define the clip's purpose, aspect ratio, duration, subject, one primary action, camera move, visual continuity, dialogue or sound, and required end state.
2. Search existing assets before importing new references. A still is a start frame only when it should define the opening composition.
3. When the user asks for examples, references, styles, or similar concepts—or an open brief would materially benefit from choosing among concrete directions—use creativeclaw-find-examples. Filter by output_type: "video", then load only the selected result. Do not search before every clip.
4. Call list_models({ modality: "video" }), choose by capability, then call get_model_params for supported durations, resolutions, operations, and references.
5. State the selected model and consequential settings. Confirm before an expensive or long generation.
6. Write one chronological prompt: opening frame, subject action, camera behavior, environmental motion, audio or dialogue, ending frame, and exclusions.
7. Call generate_video; use check_job only when another tool needs the completed URL or no inline viewer is monitoring the job.
8. Inspect identity, anatomy, product fidelity, timing, camera motion, dialogue sync, and ending continuity. Revise one variable at a time.
