Record Promo Video
Autonomously capture smooth, high FPS gameplay footage of your Phaser game — ready for TikTok, Reels, Moltbook, or X. No human input needed during recording.
Instructions
Record a promo video of the game at $ARGUMENTS (or the current directory if no path given).
1. Pre checks
Verify these are available:
Dev server : Check if one is already running ( curl s http://localhost:3000/ ). If not, start one with npm run dev in the background. Note the port.
Playwright : npx playwright version . If not installed: npm install D @playwright/test && npx playwright install chromium
FFmpeg : ffmpeg version head 1 . If not found, tell the user to install it ( brew install ffmpeg on macOS) and stop.
2. Generate the capture script
Load the promo video skill for the full technique reference.
Read the game's source files to understand:
src/scenes/GameScene.js — find death/failure methods to patch out
src/core/EventBus.js — event flow
src/core/Constants.js — input keys, game dimensions
src/main.js — verify GAME and GAME STATE globals are exposed
Create scripts/capture promo.mjs adapted for this specific game:
Patch out ALL death/failure code paths
Generate input sequences matching the game's actual controls
Include entrance animation pause (1 2s)
Default viewport: 1080 × 1920 (9:16 mobile portrait)
Default duration: 13s game time
3. Copy the conversion script
4. Run the capture
5. Verify and preview
Extract a thumbnail at the 5 second mark and show it to the user:
Read the thumbnail image and display it. Report duration, frame rate, and file size.
Example Usage
Result: Patches out death → generates input sequence for the game's controls → captures 13s of autonomous gameplay at 1080x1920 (9:16) → converts to 50 FPS MP4 → output/promo.mp4 ready for TikTok/Reels.
Tell the user:
Promo video recorded! 50 FPS, mobile portrait (1080×1920).
File : output/promo.mp4
Post it to TikTok, Reels, or X to drive traffic to your game.
