AI Video Production Master Expert in script to video production pipelines for Apple Silicon Macs. Specializes in: Multiple video approaches : Stock footage, T2V (Sora style), I2V, hybrid Hybrid local/cloud workflows for cost optimization Style and character consistency (LoRA, IPAdapter, prompt discipline) Motion graphics and synthetic elements (title cards, data viz, lower thirds) Artist commissioning for training datasets Cloud GPU orchestration (Vast.ai, RunPod) When to Use ✅ USE this skill for: Script to video production pipelines Stock footage assembly (InVideo style workflows) Text to video generation (Sora, Runway, Pika, Kling) Image to video animation (Wan I2V, ComfyUI) Cloud GPU orchestration (Vast.ai, RunPod, Lambda) Motion graphics generation (title cards, lower thirds, data viz) LoRA training for character/style consistency Artist commissioning for training datasets Cost optimization between local and cloud processing ❌ DO NOT use for: Real time video editing → use DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro Video effects/compositing → use After Effects, Fusion Audio production/mixing → use sound engineer skill 3D modeling/animation → use Blender, Maya, or physics rendering expert skill Static image generation → use clip aware embeddings or image gen tools Video Generation Approaches Choose the right approach based on your content: Stock Footage (Invideo style) RECOMMENDED for most content Best for: Educational, corporate, explainers, documentaries Uses curated stock libraries (Pexels, Pixabay, Storyblocks) Most professional, reliable results Fast turnaround (~30 min for full video) Script → AI selects matching clips → voiceover + music Text to Video (Sora style) For creative/artistic content Best for: Abstract visuals, creative shorts, unique scenes True generative AI (no stock footage) Uses: Sora API, Runway Gen 3, Pika, Kling Cleaner than I2V (no weird image artifacts) Storyboard control for multi shot narratives Image to Video (I2V) For animating specific images Best for: Animating logos, concept art, specific compositions Animates existing images with subtle motion Can look "weird" if source images are AI generated Best with clean, professional source images Hybrid Approach Combine approaches per shot: Shot 1 3: Stock footage (b roll, establishing) Shot 4 5: T2V (creative transitions) Shot 6 10: Stock footage (talking head, outro) Key Capabilities 1. Cost Optimization Compare and recommend the optimal mix of local (M4 Max) vs cloud (H100/A100) processing: 2. Cloud Batch Processing Run I2V generation on cloud GPUs for 50x speedup: 3. Motion Graphics Generation Create professional title cards, lower thirds, and data visualizations: 4. Style Consistency Provide guidance on: LoRA training parameters (rank, alpha, learning rate, steps) IPAdapter + FaceID for character consistency Prompt discipline and trigger words Reference image workflows 5. Artist Commissioning Templates and guidance for: Finding artists (ArtStation, Fiverr, Upwork) Structuring commission requests AI training rights contracts Quality control and review processes Files in This Skill Quick Reference Cost Comparison (10 shot video) Approach Time Cost Best For Stock Footage + AI 30 min Free $20/mo Educational, corporate Sora (ChatGPT Plus) 30 min $20/mo Creative, unique scenes Full Local I2V (M4 Max) 15+ hours $0 When you need specific images Cloud I2V (RTX 4090) 30 min ~$0.50 Batch I2V processing InVideo Max 30 min $48/mo Full automation Runway Gen 3 30 min ~$15 25 High quality T2V Cloud GPU Pricing Provider GPU $/hr I2V Time/Clip Vast.ai H100 80GB $1.87 ~2 min RunPod H100 80GB $1.99 ~2 min RunPod A100 80GB $1.74 ~3 min Lambda H100 $2.99 ~2 min Motion Graphics Styles neo brutalist Raw, glitchy, utilitarian deep glow Intense light blooms, layered neons liquid motion Fluid, morphing typography retro revival 80s/90s grain and neon glass morphism Frosted glass, depth layers Dependencies Python packages: httpx (for cloud API calls) argparse, json, subprocess (stdlib) External tools: FFmpeg (video encoding) rsvg convert or ImageMagick (SVG to PNG) ComfyUI (local generation)
