How does this skill improve video generation compared to standard image prompting?

Keyframe Craft solves the issue of 'un-animatable' images by enforcing technical constraints like safe-area budgeting and mid-action avoidance, ensuring your initial frames are optimized for video model stability rather than just aesthetics.

Which image and video models are compatible with this skill?

The method applies to still-image tools that produce keyframes, including the model families covered in the included matrix. The resulting frame can be used with image-to-video models such as Kling. Check current model names and options in your provider.

Does this skill handle specific aspect ratios and social media UI layouts?

Yes. It covers 9:16 composition: product in the left third for right-to-left readers, top-right space reserved for Arabic type, and keeping key content clear of TikTok's right rail, the Reels bottom third and Snapchat's edges.

What technical assets are included in the purchase?

The SKILL.md (start-frame rules, model selection matrix, 9:16/RTL composition, clean-plate vs. diegetic-text rules, hallucination triggers, and a per-frame reproducibility record) plus the model-capabilities table and the cinematic-language reference library.

Does Keyframe Craft handle the final video animation process?

It plans and reviews start frames, and helps decide when an end frame is useful. It does not generate the video or perform post-production.

What is required to set up the skill after purchase?

Drop the folder into your agent's skills directory (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and others). Then ask it to plan or review a keyframe before you generate. There's nothing to configure and no API keys.

Summary

Generate

one start frame on Nano Banana Pro, with the hand

not yet in frame. Skip the end frame: a held bottle is the documented hand-distortion trigger, so let Kling find the landing and judge the clip.

1. The start frame

Moment: the instant before the action. The bottle stands alone on the marble and the hand hasn't entered. A mid-reach start frame either cuts the motion short or forces the model to invent what came before.

Composition (9:16): bottle in the

left third, so the RTL reading path runs into it. The

top-right ~35% stays genuinely empty, a clean plate for the Arabic hook set in post. Nothing important sits in the TikTok right rail or the bottom caption zone.

Text on the bottle: "LUMA C15" is diegetic, so it

is generated. Quote it exactly in the prompt, then check it character by character against the real label.

Logo: don't name the brand logo in the prompt. Let the product reference image carry it.

Reference: pass the registered product reference ID. Don't re-describe the bottle in words "because it's faster", because that's where shape and colour drift between shots.

2. Model choice

Option	Verdict
Nano Banana Pro	Use if your current provider supports the required product reference and label fidelity; check live price and speed
Nano Banana 2 (Flash)	Use when its current reference controls fit the shot
Recraft	Use only if its current reference controls preserve the approved product identity

3. End frame?

No. An end frame of a hand gripping the bottle is exactly where fingers distort. If Kling's landing is weak: crop so only a partial hand enters, show the bottle placed rather than held, or build that frame image-to-image from a real photo.

4. Record (prompts.json)

{
  "file": "06_frames/shot-02-start.png",
  "prompt": "<exact prompt sent>",
  "model": "<actual-model-id>",
  "resolution": "<actual-output-size>",
  "seed": null,
  "refs": ["<product-reference-id>"],
  "diegetic_text": ["LUMA C15"]
}

seed stays null unless the call actually used one. Never invent a value.

Next steps

Generate, verify the label, check the top-right is truly empty, then hand the frame to your Kling prompt.

About this skill

A strong still is not always a good video input. This skill plans the precise moment, composition and identity references for keyframes that a video model can animate. It shows when an end frame adds control, where to leave space for editable text, and what to verify before generation.

You receive a frame specification, an image prompt brief and a reproducibility record for each shot.

Use it before Kling, MiniMax or another image-to-video model. You supply the approved product assets and access to your chosen generation tools.
