hidden-truth-reveal-video-gen

# Hidden truth reveal (polished → brutal → one line) **Template (seconds below assume `duration` 10; rescale for 5 or 15):** **0–3s** hook: *what you use daily comes from here* (user’s **X**); **3–8s** **stark contrast** montage (sleek product ↔ labor, factory, waste, or source environment—**non-gore**, suggestive not graphic); **8–10s** **one-line summary** that lands the thesis. **English subtitles** with **explicit second windows**. Default **`duration`** is **10** when unspecified. **Dependencies:** `WERYAI_API_KEY` + Node.js 18+. **`{baseDir}/scripts/video_gen.js`** + **[`WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md`](resources/WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md)** under **`{baseDir}/resources/`**. **No other Cursor skills required.** ## Prerequisites - `WERYAI_API_KEY` **must be set**; Node **18+**; `https` images only. - Non-empty `model` in JSON; pick from **Recommended models** or frozen tables. - Each `wait` consumes credits. ## Security, secrets, and API hosts - **`WERYAI_API_KEY`**: Secret; **`requires.env`** / **`primaryEnv`**—never commit values. - **API hosts:** `video_gen.js` uses **`https://api.weryai.com`** (tasks) and **`https://api-growth-agent.weryai.com`** (models list). - Run in an isolated environment when possible. ## Prompt expansion (mandatory) - **Duration:** Default **10**; **5** or **15** when the user asks and the model allows. - **Timeline scaling:** Rescale **0–3 / 3–5 / 5–7 / 7–10** proportionally when **`duration` ≠ 10**; keep the **four-beat order**. **Locked caption rhythm (example for duration 10):** - **0.0–3.0s** — Hook naming the **daily X** (user-supplied): e.g. *YOUR DAILY X COMES FROM HERE* (keep **≤6 words** per line). - **3.0–5.0s** — **Polished** beat label: e.g. *SHELF PERFECT*. - **5.0–7.0s** — **Harsh** beat label: e.g. *HIDDEN COST*. - **7.0–10.0s** — **One-line verdict** (user-themed): e.g. *THAT’S THE TRUTH* (customize to topic). **Visuals:** Hard cuts; **high contrast** lighting; **hands / machines / environments**—avoid **graphic gore** or identifiable real people in exploitative frames. **Motion** every beat. **Typography:** Bold sans, white + black outline, lower third, fades; **English only** on screen unless user opts out. **Audio:** Tension bed / impact whoosh if `generate_audio` true—no named tracks. **Negatives (Kling):** illegible captions, watermark, muddy text. **Exception:** User supplies finished long prompt + no rewrite—still show full text in confirmation. **Confirmation:** Full expanded `prompt` in the table. ### Niche checklist - Contrast must read in **silent skim**—image does half the work. - Middle beats are **two emotional temperatures**, not a lecture. **Examples below** are targets only. ## Workflow 1. **Text** and/or **image-to-video** (multi-image only **SEEDANCE_2_0**, ≤3 URLs). 2. Collect **product or topic X**, optional reference `image`, tier. 3. **Expand** with locked windows + visuals; **translate** user Chinese brief to **English** on-screen lines unless they request another language. 4. Validate fields vs frozen tables. 5. Confirmation table + full `prompt` → user **confirm**. 6. `node {baseDir}/scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '…'`. 7. Return **`[Video](url)`**; no code fences around links. ## CLI reference ~~~sh node {baseDir}/scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '{"model":"KLING_V3_0_PRO","prompt":"…","duration":10,"aspect_ratio":"9:16","generate_audio":true,"negative_prompt":"illegible text, watermark, garbled captions"}' node {baseDir}/scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '{"model":"SEEDANCE_2_0","prompt":"…","duration":10,"aspect_ratio":"9:16","resolution":"720p","generate_audio":true}' ~~~ **Full reference:** **[`WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md`](resources/WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md)**. ## Definition of done **[Video](url)** or clear error. `prompt` contains **timed English** subtitle block matching the **four-beat order**, with **second ranges scaled to `duration`** (or user’s approved variant). ## Boundaries (out of scope) - Not a journalism fact-check; **opinion / hook** tone—user responsible for claims. - No gore; no harassment of real individuals. - Captions only via **prompt**; no NLE export spec. - Use **`resources/WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md`** for CLI; no `negative_prompt` on Seedance. - **Multi-image** only **SEEDANCE_2_0**, max **3**. ### Example prompts - `Coffee cup: shelf glamour vs harvest-labor montage, verdict line about price to growers` - `Smartphone: polished device vs mine/e-waste suggestion, one-line kicker` - `Image URL of sneakers → same four-window subtitle schedule` - `Fast fashion haul vs factory floor suggestion—verdict about true cost` --- ## Model and API constraints (frozen for this skill) ### Text-to-video | model_key | durations | aspect_ratios | resolutions | audio | negative_prompt | prompt limit | |-----------|-----------|---------------|-------------|-------|-----------------|--------------| | KLING_V3_0_PRO | 5, 10, 15 | 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 | *(omit `resolution`)* | yes | yes | 2000 | | KLING_V3_0_STA | 5, 10, 15 | 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 | *(omit `resolution`)* | yes | yes | 2000 | | SEEDANCE_2_0 | 5, 10, 15 | 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 | 480p, 720p | yes | no | 2000 | ### Image-to-video | model_key | durations | aspect_ratios | resolutions | audio | negative_prompt | image slots | |-----------|-----------|---------------|-------------|-------|-----------------|-------------| | KLING_V3_0_PRO | 5, 10, 15 | 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 | *(omit)* | yes | yes | single `image` | | KLING_V3_0_STA | 5, 10, 15 | 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 | *(omit)* | yes | yes | single `image` | | SEEDANCE_2_0 | 5, 10, 15 | 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 | 480p, 720p | yes | no | up to **3** `images` | ## Recommended models | Tier | model_key | Default duration | |------|-----------|------------------| | ⭐ Best | KLING_V3_0_PRO | 10 | | 👍 Good | KLING_V3_0_STA | 10 | | ⚡ Fast | SEEDANCE_2_0 | 10 (`resolution`: **720p**) | ## Default parameters | Field | Value | |-------|--------| | aspect_ratio | 9:16 | | duration | 10 | | generate_audio | true | | resolution | 720p for Seedance only | | negative_prompt | Kling: `illegible text, garbled captions, watermark` | ## Text-to-video (primary) Collect **X** → expand **four-window** captions → confirm → `wait`. ## Image-to-video (optional) Product still → **motion + same schedule**. ## Tips - If claims are sensitive, soften to **“what they don’t show”** rhetoric. - **Verdict line** should fit **one breath**. > Packaged as **`hidden-truth-reveal-video-gen`**.
