AI Tool Video Intro
Purpose
Create a reusable 3-second opening clip for an "AI + traditional tools" tutorial channel. Keep the style fixed across videos: dark technical workstation, CAD-grid motion, cyan AI linework, amber highlights, concise Chinese title lockup, and a slow push-in camera feel.
Quick Start
Use the bundled generator script:
python <CODEX_HOME>\skills\ai-tool-video-intro\scripts\make_intro.py --input screen_recording.mp4 --output-intro outputs\intro.mp4 --output-combined outputs\with_intro.mp4
If the input video is not in the current directory, pass its absolute path. The script uses Python packages PIL, numpy, imageio, and imageio_ffmpeg; it does not require ffmpeg on PATH.
Fixed Style
Use this default identity unless the user explicitly asks to change the brand:
- Main title: use the bundled Chinese default for "AI + traditional tools".
- Subtitle: use the bundled Chinese default for "auto drawing / guides / practical sharing".
- Caption:
WORKFLOW NOTES
- Palette: near-black workstation background, cyan linework, amber active accent, off-white text.
- Visual motifs: blueprint grid, animated CAD polylines, circular gear-like construction marks, scan line, small tool tags.
- Motion: 3.2 seconds, simulated slow push-in, slight rightward parallax, linework reveal from 0.35s, title lock from 0.85s, amber transition bar near the end.
Workflow
- Locate the user's main recording, usually the newest
.mp4, .mov, .mkv, .avi, or .webm in the workspace root or an outputs/recordings folder.
- Generate an intro with
scripts/make_intro.py, matching the source video resolution.
- When the user wants the opener attached to the recording, pass
--output-combined; otherwise provide only --output-intro.
- Verify the generated intro duration is about 3 seconds and the combined video starts with the opener.
- Return the absolute paths for the intro and combined output.
Script Options
Common options:
--input: source recording used for size and optional background context.--output-intro: intro-only MP4 path.--output-combined: optional MP4 path with intro prepended to the input.--title: override the fixed title.--subtitle: override the fixed subtitle.--caption: override the small top caption.--highlight: add an episode highlight line. Pass up to three times.--duration: default 3.2.--fps: default 30.
Notes
- Keep the opener short, restrained, and technical; avoid generic colorful templates or marketing hero visuals.
- Do not alter the main recording content unless the user asks to prepend the intro.
- If Chinese text renders incorrectly, use a Windows Chinese font such as
C:\Windows\Fonts\simhei.ttf, msyh.ttc, or simsun.ttc.
