Minimalist Product Ad Generator Use this Skill to guide non professional users through a flow style workflow that creates a minimalist product advertising video for e commerce promotion and product launches. The target users are e commerce sellers, small brand owners, indie creators, and individual sellers; the user should provide at least one product image or related asset. The core principle is: confirm assets and brief first, build product facts and a product narrative spine, lock product visuals with independent anchor photos, control video with a precise beat storyboard, then finish the film with native audio or music based editing. This Skill no longer defaults to a 4 panel anchor sheet, because video models may reproduce the panel layout. By default, it uses three separate anchor photos plus one precise beat text storyboard as the video control system. Start Gate Every time this Skill is triggered, run a complete but lightweight start gate before any analysis, copywriting, anchor generation, or video generation. Confirm only the information required for production. Do not ask about music here; music is handled later in the music step. The start gate must confirm all of the following in one pass: 1. Product images and related materials Ask the user to upload product images and related materials, such as product photos, packaging images, renders, detail shots, existing video assets, or visual references. If the current message or current canvas / session already contains materials, state that materials have been detected. Do not ask the user to upload again; only confirm whether to use the current materials. If there are multiple candidate materials and their roles are unclear, ask which one should be the main product image. 2. Product variant status Confirm whether this is a single variant or multiple variants / colors / models. If there are multiple variants, confirm which one is the main variant. If the user does not specify, the agent may recommend one based on the product image, but the later storyboard must still write the concrete color or variant name. 3. Target duration 5s / 10s / 15s, with 10s as the recommended default. 4. Aspect ratio 16:9 / 9:16 / 1:1 / 4:3 / 3:4 / match reference image. Once selected, the anchor sheet, video, and final delivery must strictly keep this ratio. 5. Apple style template White tech / dark rim light / brand color field / light lifestyle scene. 6. In frame copy User provided copy, or agent generated Apple style English copy. 7. Video model strategy Default model is MiniMax H3, because it often produces cleaner Apple like product close ups, negative space, and premium product film camera language. Do not ask the user to choose a video model during the start gate. Show “default model: MiniMax H3” as part of the adopted start gate result. If the user explicitly asks for another model, follow the user's model choice after capability checking. Seedance is only a backup when the user explicitly wants stronger multi shot execution, asks for Seedance, or accepts a fallback after H3 fails or cannot satisfy the requested structure. Start gate is mandatory. If the user has already uploaded product material, only skip the upload request; do not skip the rest of the start gate. The agent must still confirm product variant status, target duration, aspect ratio, Apple style template, and in frame copy mode in one pass before analysis, anchor generation, storyboard, or video generation. The video model is not a start gate question: use MiniMax H3 by default and display it in the completed start gate result. If the user says “you decide / just do it,” the agent may choose recommended defaults for the remaining fields, but must still display the adopted choices as the completed start gate result before continuing. Operating Principles 1. Independent anchor photos are the default visual control system Generate three separate anchor photos by default, not one 4 panel sheet, because video models may copy panel layouts into the final film. The three anchor photos usually cover: hero / striking main view, material or functional detail, and final copy composition. Do not create a separate structure action anchor when it overlaps with the hero view. Merge structure / action cues into the material detail anchor unless the product truly needs a distinct mechanism reference. Each anchor photo must be a complete standalone product photo. Do not create grid layouts, split screens, collage boards, framed panels, product walls, or storyboard sheets. The precise beat storyboard determines the actual shot order, action, and text behavior. Do not use anchor photos as direct shot replacements. 2. In frame copy must appear as integrated video motion, not a subtitle fallback Text in the copy anchor photo is only a reference for font, position, single line layout, and two part color treatment. It does not mean the whole video can use only that one copy line. The precise beat storyboard may define multiple short English copy lines across shots. Each line must be 3 5 English words, single line, readable, and follow the two part color rule: in white tech style the first half uses black or dark gray, in dark rim light style the first half may use white, and the second half always uses the specific product color. Do not use isolated 1 2 word feature labels. Video generation must include the storyboard copy inside the frame. The copy does not need to appear in every shot. If the video model tends to make typography mistakes, reduce copy frequency proactively. For a 10 second film, usually keep only one mid film copy moment plus one final copy moment; do not put text in every shot. The final shot must include one stable single line copy. By default, ask the video model to generate in frame typography and its timing directly. Do not silently degrade text into post production subtitles or reserve empty space for later overlay. Use post production fallback only when the user explicitly asks for it or when integrated video typography fails and the user accepts a fallback. 3. Product body color is a hard fidelity constraint Apple style means clean composition, premium light, restrained motion, and negative space; it does not mean turning the product itself white, silver, or AirPods like. The product's original body color, accent color, material tint, and visible finish from the user's image must be preserved in all anchor photos and videos. Only the background, lighting environment, and composition may shift toward the selected Apple style template. Never recolor the product body unless the user explicitly asks. The final copy emphasis color must come from the real product main color, not from a generic silver / white Apple palette. 4. Every product needs a product specific narrative Do not reuse a fixed earbud template or write vague phrases like “product state changes.” The storyboard must be based on product category, form, material, structure, and visible actions. Product motion must be visual and concrete, such as “the lid opens 30 degrees and inner reflection appears,” or “the crown rotates while a highlight slides along the edge.” 4. Progress must be visible After each step, show what was produced and what decision is needed next. Do not auto run the entire pipeline without user confirmation. Typography Rules In frame advertising copy must be English. If the user provides Chinese copy, translate it into concise English or ask for approval of the English version. Visible in frame copy must be 3 5 English words, preferably no more than 32 English characters including spaces. Do not write isolated 1 2 word feature labels. Copy should feel like an Apple product film: sensory, benefit led, material led, or a light value proposition; avoid promotional slogans and ecommerce feature tag wording. Font reference: SF Pro Display / SF Pro Text. Prefer SF Pro Display Semibold in prompts. Use no more than two text colors in a shot. In white tech style, the first half of the text must use black or dark gray; white text is forbidden on white backgrounds. In dark rim light style, the first half may use white. The second half always uses the specific product color. Text must stay on one line. Do not wrap, stack, or split into multiple lines. At any moment, only one single line English copy line may appear in the frame. Do not show two rows of text, two line titles, title + subtitle pairs, or multiple text blocks at the same time. Two part typography must continue or replace within the same line, never split into upper and lower rows. Do not place text in a lower subtitle position. Prefer the vertically centered visual zone, left aligned or right aligned as part of the composition. Text should be slightly larger and feel like a product film visual element, not an explanatory subtitle. Approved mid film pattern: clean negative space, product motion or product close up leads the frame, the frame stays uncrowded, and only one single line English copy appears. Text may sit near the product edge, product surface, or close up highlight area so it feels integrated into the product image rather than floating like a subtitle. Do not damage negative space or add a second text block just to add copy. Default two part text motion must remain visible: the first half fades in or slides in subtly first, then the second half fades in or slides in subtly later. When the second half appears, the first half shifts gently within the same line to make room. The shift should be subtle, around 10 15px or 8 12% of text width. Motion should be smooth and restrained; avoid bouncy, neon, or flashy UI effects. Do not make typography completely static just to avoid two row text. The correct solution is same line two part entrance, subtle shift, fade in, or gentle slide in; the wrong solution is upper/lower line splitting, two line titles, or removing text motion. STEP 1: Asset Check and Product Fact Summary If no product material is available, ask the user to upload it. If material is already available, use it and analyze: Product category. Subject position and frame occupancy. Image quality: sharpness, lighting, composition, and visible details. Product main color and possible main variant. Showable structure: opening, rotating, lifting, snapping, folding, popping, glowing, screen, texture, etc. Real appearance features usable for the storyboard: material, edge, button, port, packaging, transparent part, screen, or distinctive silhouette. If the image quality is not usable, stop and give concrete reshoot advice. Output a short product fact summary: Material used. Product category. Main color candidates and main variant suggestion. Quality pass / fail. Showable structure / feature. STEP 2: Confirm the Production Brief Turn the start gate answers into an executable production brief. Do not ask again for parameters that have already been confirmed. The brief drives the narrative spine, copy, anchor sheet, and storyboard. The production brief must include: Product material used. Main variant / product main color. Aspect ratio. Target duration. Selected Apple style template. Single variant / multi variant strategy. In frame copy mode: user provided copy, or agent generated Apple style English copy. Multi variant product rules: The user selects a style; do not automatically remove all other variants. Every multi variant project must decide one main variant first. Other variants should not all appear at the very beginning; they appear only in process beats, transitions, or the final full set. If the user does not specify a main variant, the agent may choose the most visually stable one and use the others for
