Creator Video

Step 1 — Plan the clip

• What moves — one subject, one action, one camera move per clip (references/video-prompting.md).
• Ratio — Shorts/Reels/TikTok 9:16, everything else 16:9.
• Duration — default 8 s; longer stories become several clips joined later.
• Start frame? — if the look matters (brand, character, product), make the first frame as an image first (creator-image or creator.py image), approve it, then animate it with --start. This is the most reliable way to control the result on every provider.
• End frame / references — --end for transitions and reveals, --ref for identity.
• Resolution — 720p default; 1080p when asked.

Step 2 — Generate

python3 scripts/creator.py video --prompt "<motion prompt>" --out ./out/<slug>.mp4 --ratio 16:9 --duration 8 [--start first.png] [--end last.png] [--ref ref.png] [--resolution 1080p]
