Pro Motion — MG film, audio first (launch · brand · TVC · promo)

A method for making motion-graphics films that read as designed, not templated — in code, fast, locked to music. It was distilled from a real project that went through ~10 rounds: early cuts were rejected as "PPT", "ugly material", "text floating on top", "pop art when I asked for stylized"; later cuts were accepted. The difference was the method, not the tooling. Follow the steps in order; each one exists because skipping it failed once.

When to Use This Skill

• the user wants a launch video, brand film, TVC or app promo made as motion graphics
• the user wants a film re-cut to music, restyled, or localized into several languages
• the user needs a music plan or Suno/Udio prompts for a promo

0 · Setup (once per project folder)

Needs Node 18+, Python 3 with numpy / scipy / matplotlib, and a Chrome / Chromium install (auto-detected; set CHROME=/path to override). Subject cutouts need macOS 14+.
