Video Generation & Editing
Guide for generating, editing, analyzing, and post-processing videos using AI models and FFmpeg-backed tools exposed through the Hyper MCP.
Requirements
This skill assumes the Hyper MCP is connected to your agent so the tools below are available. The underlying providers (OpenAI Sora, Google Veo, ByteDance Seedance, OpenAI TTS, transcription, etc.) are configured under your Hyper integrations.

Video Understanding
You can watch and analyze any video using videos_analyze. This sends the video to a multimodal AI that sees both visual and audio content.
When to use videos_analyze
- After generating a video: check if it matches your intent
- Before stitching: verify scene consistency across clips
- Quality review: check for glitches, character drift, lighting issues
- Content understanding: "what happens in this video?"
Analysis Types
videos_analyze(file_id="...", analysis_type="general")
videos_analyze(file_id="...", analysis_type="quality_review")
videos_analyze(file_id="...", analysis_type="scene_breakdown")
videos_analyze(file_id="...", question="Does this match: [original prompt]?")
Self-Review Workflow
Always review generated videos before delivering to the user:
result = videos_generate(prompt="...", model="veo-3.1-generate-preview")
review = videos_analyze(file_id="video_file_id", analysis_type="quality_review")
# If issues found, regenerate with adjustments. If quality is good, proceed to editing.
Routing table
All reference files live in references/. Read them at references/<file> (e.g. references/generation.md).
| The user wants to… |
Read these files first |
| Generate a video (any model) |
references/generation.md — model selection, parameter matrix, prompt templates |
| Build a longer multi-scene video |
references/generation.md — script planning + scene chaining |
| Add subtitles / captions / voiceover / overlays, or clip a video |
references/post-production.md |
| Produce UGC / TikTok content end-to-end |
references/ugc-video.md (ugc_videos_create modes) → references/workflows.md |
| Shape a prompt for a specific model (Sora / Veo / Seedance / Kling) |
references/video-prompting.md |
| Turn a podcast / long video into short clips |
references/workflows.md → references/post-production.md |
| Understand or QA an existing video |
Use videos_analyze (see Video Understanding above) |
Best Practices
- Review before delivering: always use
videos_analyze to check your output.
- Maintain visual consistency: use the same character descriptions, lighting, and style across all scenes.
- Plan transitions: design the end of each scene to flow into the next.
- Batch similar scenes: generate scenes with similar settings together.
- Review before chaining: check each scene before using its last frame for the next.
- Use single-variable iteration: remix / regenerate by changing one variable at a time.
- Add captions for accessibility: use the subtitle pipeline for all UGC content.
