video-generator

A command-line skill for creating short AI-generated videos with Google Veo or OpenAI Sora. Veo can generate synchronized audio, while Sora focuses on visual quality and supports clips up to 12 seconds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create video drafts or final short-form assets from prompts through the Veo or Sora APIs.
Why use it?
It gives you two video-generation providers with different strengths, so you can choose between audio, faster drafts, longer clips, or visual quality.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

video-generator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/generate_video.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Video Generator

Generate professional short-form videos using Google VEO 3.1 (with native audio) or OpenAI Sora (high visual quality, up to 12s).

Prerequisites & Setup

API Keys

You need at least one. Both gives you maximum flexibility.

VEO (Google):

  1. Go to Google AI Studio
  2. Sign in with your Google account
  3. Click "Create API Key"
  4. Copy the generated key
export GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_key_here

Sora (OpenAI):

  1. Go to OpenAI Platform
  2. Create a new API key
  3. Copy the generated key
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key_here

Install Dependencies

pip install google-genai requests

Available Models

Provider Model CLI --model Best For
VEO Veo 3.1 Standard standard (default) Quality, audio fidelity, final assets
VEO Veo 3.1 Fast fast Drafts, iteration, quick previews
Sora Sora 2 sora-2 (default) Visual quality, creative motion
Sora Sora 2 Pro sora-2-pro Highest Sora quality, slower

When to Use Which

Need Use
Native synchronized audio (dialogue, SFX) VEO - Sora has no audio
Longer clips (12 seconds) Sora - VEO maxes at 8s
Higher visual fidelity / artistic styles Sora - stronger on visual aesthetics
Fast iteration / drafts VEO Fast - quickest turnaround
4K resolution VEO - Sora uses fixed sizes
Negative prompts (exclude elements) VEO - Sora doesn't support them

Video Parameters

Parameter VEO Options Sora Options Default
Duration 4, 6, or 8 seconds 4, 8, or 12 seconds 8s
Resolution 720p, 1080p, 4K Fixed (from aspect ratio) 720p
Aspect Ratio 16:9, 9:16 16:9 -> 1280x720, 9:16 -> 720x1280 16:9
Count 1-4 variations 1-4 variations 1
Negative Prompt Supported Not supported (ignored) none

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
