generated-video-director

name	generated-video-director
description	Specify inserted generated-video clips for the composer pipeline. Use when a transcript section needs a generated visual metaphor, illustrative clip, b-roll, product-style animation, or cinematic insert that must match the global style and neighboring shots.

Generated Video Director

Overview

Write generated-video briefs that serve the lesson and can be assembled back into the Remotion timeline without feeling like a different video.

Use Generated Video When

• The idea is spatial, physical, emotional, or metaphorical.
• HTML motion would be too literal or too flat.
• A short insert can make the concept easier to remember.
• The shot can preserve style, color, and framing from the surrounding video.

Avoid Generated Video When

• The viewer needs exact text, UI, math, code, or diagrams.
• The presenter or Hyperframes atom can explain it more clearly.
• The generated clip would introduce a new palette, camera language, or tone.
• A deterministic R3F three-effect (glass slab, ceramic card, floating tablet) would carry the same meaning with frame-accurate composition. Prefer three-effect over generated b-roll when the goal is a labeled surface or a section handoff rather than evocative motion. See .agents/skills/three-effects-composition.
• A real captured artifact (a UI capture, a product screen) would carry the meaning more honestly than a synthesized clip. Prefer the real artifact textured onto a surface; generated b-roll is a last resort, never AI-slop filler. When you do generate, ground the clip in a concrete reference move and hold the /render-lab-design-system quality bar — it must match palette, camera language, and tone, not introduce a new one.

Output

Return a generated-clip brief with:

• purpose
• duration
• prompt
• negative prompt
• first frame and last frame requirements
• style constraints from global spec
• required transition handles
• whether it can run in parallel
