What it does
The library behind every take card on Edit a video. Your agent reads one reference file per rubric and builds the edit you name: 26 cuts (J- and L-cuts, match cuts, jump-zoom punch-ins, speed ramps, freeze frames), 60 transitions (CapCut-style zooms, whips, glitches, light leaks and masks, every FFmpeg xfade, Remotion TransitionSeries, HyperFrames and GL shader transitions, OTIO and DaVinci Resolve hand-off), and 120 takes for showing a product: headlines and lower thirds, quotes and reviews, end cards and CTAs, UI walkthroughs, cursors and clicks, device mockups, code and terminal screens, AI agent flows, numbers and charts, customer logos, grids and backdrops. Each take gives the look, when to use it, the common mistake, timings, the recipe per engine and the open registry components that build it. Index: SKILL.md.
