After the first use you have
A recommended format (ad, short, long-form, explainer, product spot, or customer story) with length, aspect ratio, structure, and hook, plus a one-page brief.
Founders often make the video they saw last week instead of the video the job needs.
This skill asks what the video must do (sell now, reach new people, teach and rank, explain, show the product, prove it works) and recommends one format with its length, aspect ratio, structure, and opening seconds.
Then it writes the brief your editor or AI video tool starts from.
It asks you for
- What the video must do
- Where it will run
- What you already have (footage, photos, a script, nothing)
- Deadline
You get
- Recommended format and why
- Specs
- Structure
- Hook for the first seconds
