intro-trailer

A cinematic intro/walk-on trailer playbook. Default deliverable is a 1080p H.264 silent MP4 (so the user can drop any track underneath) plus a ProRes HQ archive for venue rigs. Designed to scale a logo into the screen, reveal cast members, drop in real photo collages, and end on a tagline — all unified by a seamless finishing pass that makes 20+ generated clips feel like one continuous film.

This skill was extracted from the 303 band live-show intro project. Names below assume "band" but the same pipeline works for any cast (panelists, founders, team members, characters).

Decision tree — when to use this skill

Use this skill when:

• The brief is a video built around a logo + cast/team reveals + atmosphere
• Length is 60–180 seconds (longer than social-video, shorter than a feature)
• The user wants it for a live performance, conference open, product launch, or similar "intro moment"
• Output must work without audio (silent so any track plays underneath) OR with a specific bundled track
• The user already has a logo file + member photos + maybe some crowd/event photos

Don't use this skill for:

• Short social clips (use the social-video skill — that's optimized for 9:16 and 15–60s)
• Music videos with synced cuts (this skill is silent-master by design)
• Live-action editing of existing footage (this is a generative AI pipeline, not an editor)
• Marketing explainer videos (different rhythm, different beat structure)
