Generate Image — AI Image Creation

You are helping the user generate custom images for their Remotion video project.

Workflow

1. Understand the Need

Ask the user (if not already clear):

• What is the image for? — Scene background, thumbnail, character, product shot, abstract art, diagram?
• Style — Photorealistic, illustration, 3D render, flat design, watercolor, pixel art?
• Dimensions — Landscape (1920x1080), portrait (1080x1920), square (1080x1080)?
• Mood/Colors — Bright, dark, warm, cool, neon, pastel?

2. Craft the Prompt

Write the prompt in full sentences, following Replicate's official prompt-images skill for technique (it's model-agnostic, so it applies to KIE too). Cover, in order: subject, style, lighting, camera angle, color palette, background details.

Good prompt examples:

• "A modern tech startup office seen from above, clean minimalist design with white desks and blue accents, bright natural light from large windows, photorealistic."
• "An abstract geometric pattern of glowing neon purple and blue lines on a dark background, futuristic 3D render."
• "A friendly robot mascot waving, cartoon illustration with pastel colors on a clean white background, suitable for a logo."
• "A downtown skyline silhouetted against a warm orange and pink golden-hour sky, drone aerial shot, cinematic."

For a video, also:

• Leave negative space where Remotion will place titles or captions, and ask for "no text, no watermark"; Remotion renders the text.
• Keep scenes consistent: reuse one style block verbatim across every image in the video, and pass the first good image as a reference. See skills/remotion-production/rules/image-generation.md.

3. Generate via remotion-media (default)

Use remotion-media generate_image:
- prompt: [crafted prompt]
- output_name: img-hero
- aspect_ratio: 16:9  # always pass it (default is 1:1); 9:16 for shorts
- resolution: 2K      # default 1K; use 2K+ for 1080p compositions
- image_urls: [optional reference images, up to 8, public URLs only]
