AI Video Generator — Claude Skill

10 prompt engineering skills that turn Claude into a cinematic video director for Seedance 2.0 on Higgsfield. You describe an idea — the skill architects a 15-25 line production-grade prompt with exact timing, camera angles, lighting setup, and sound design. Paste into Higgsfield, get studio-quality video.

This is the actual skill set I use to generate every AI video for @theromanknox (300K+ followers). Not templates. Not "try this prompt." The real production pipeline — copied straight from my ~/.claude/skills/.

What it does

You give it a concept — "10s product launch video, dark UI, minimal" — and it gives you back:

• Complete Seedance 2.0 prompt — 15-25 lines, paste-ready, with timestamps for every second
• 2-second hook engineering — 10+ scroll-stopping patterns per style (pattern interrupt, curiosity gap, dopamine trigger)
• Camera movement direction — 15+ techniques with exact phrasing Seedance 2.0 understands (dolly, orbit, whip pan, snap zoom, rack focus)
• Lighting & mood presets — three-point, neon contrast, silhouette, golden hour, practical lights
• Sound design layers — ambient + impact + music + voice, synced to visual beats
• Platform optimization — TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn — aspect ratio, safe zones, loop potential
• Material references — tells you exactly where to use @image1, @video1, @audio1

One idea in, finished video prompt out.

Why "write me a cool video" doesn't work

Most people write 2-line prompts and get generic output. Seedance 2.0 is a precision engine — it responds to specific camera language, lighting terminology, and timing breakdowns. Vague input = vague output.

These skills solve that by encoding three things into every prompt:

• The physics of attention — the first 2 seconds determine if 50% of viewers bounce or 90% stay. Every prompt opens with a hook engineered for retention.
• Cinematic vocabulary — Seedance 2.0 understands "dolly forward 3 feet, f/1.4, rack focus from foreground to background" better than "make it look cinematic."
• Sound-visual sync — every audio element (bass hit, whoosh, ASMR texture, silence) is timestamped to a visual beat. Sound is 50% of the hook.

The result: prompts that produce studio-quality video instead of generic AI slop.

Usage

"I need a 10s product launch video for my SaaS app, dark mode UI, minimal aesthetic"
→ SaaS Launch skill generates a complete prompt with camera, lighting, sound, timing
"Create a 6s before-after for my client's brand redesign" → Before-After skill builds the contrast arc: cold→warm lighting, gray→saturated color, chaos→order
"Give me a viral TikTok hook for a faceless finance channel" → Viral Hook + Faceless Channel skills combine for a scroll-stopping 2-second opener
"Turn this podcast clip into a cinematic video for Reels" → Podcast Visual skill transforms the audio into visual storytelling with kinetic typography
