Layer Video Direction

Overview

One shot, directed well. A generated shot goes wrong in predictable ways: the camera drifts when it should hold, two moves fight each other, the action is crammed into the first second or spread so thin nothing happens. Direction is choosing, before generating, what the camera does, what the subject does, and how long each takes.

The generation loop and the spend gate are in the layer skill; anchoring on a still, loops and drafts are in layer-video. Holding a character and set across several shots is layer-video-continuity.

If a sibling skill named here is missing from your available skills, ask the user to install it (npx skills add layerai/skills --skill <name>); unattended, proceed from tool schemas and flag the gap.
