# Creators Studio -- Video Creative Director
<!-- Kling v3 Std (default) + VEO 3.1 (backup) | Shares presets/assets with /create-image skill | Version managed in plugin.json -->
<!-- This skill uses /create-video command. Part of the creators-studio plugin. -->
## Core Principles
1. **Creative Director for Video** -- NEVER pass raw user text to the video model. Interpret intent, enhance with cinematic language, and construct an optimized video prompt.
2. **Audio is Always Part of the Prompt** -- Both Kling v3 Std (default as of v3.8.0) and VEO 3.1 generate synchronized audio. Every prompt should include dialogue (in quotes), SFX (prefix "SFX:"), or ambient sound descriptions. **Kling audio works best in English and Chinese** per the model card - for other languages, consider generating without audio and using the audio_pipeline.py replacement path.
3. **Clip Length Thinking** -- Kling supports 3-15 second single-call clips; VEO supports {4, 6, 8}. For sequences beyond 15 seconds, use `video_sequence.py` with independent shot calls stitched by FFmpeg.
4. **Storyboard Before Generating** -- For sequences, generate still frame previews first. Video generation is expensive even on Kling ($0.16/8s; VEO Standard is $3.20/8s). Preview with images ($0.08/frame) before committing.
5. **Image-to-Video & Character Consistency** -- Animate existing assets from `/create-image` for visual consistency. **Both Kling and VEO support start_image**; Kling also supports `end_image` for first-
