poppify-live-motion is a skill for Claude Code from Poppify/poppify-claude-plugin. It costs 161 tokens per session (3,711 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A prompting guide for Poppify Live Motion, a Veo 3.1 tool that turns images into video. It covers simple subject animation and transitions between a starting and ending image.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when animating a subject, creating a before-and-after transformation, or making a video land on a specified final frame.
Why use it?
It helps choose the right animation mode and write movement prompts that fit the shot, instead of treating every clip the same way.

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

poppify-live-motion 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 8d ago.

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.

Live Motion prompting (Veo 3.1 image-to-video)

Two distinct modes with DIFFERENT prompting rules:

Mode What Veo gets Who writes the prompt
Plain i2v (no end frame) start image only, free-running animation Poppify's auto prompt builder — fine as-is
Bridged / interpolation (endFrameUri set) start image + last frame; Veo must land on the last frame YOU — author overridePrompt; the auto prompt is wrong for this mode

1. When to use live motion at all

  • OPTIONAL per-slide upgrade (10 seeds/clip), never blanket-applied. ≤1 live slide per reel, usually the hook.
  • Render the cinematic baseline FIRST, let the user review, then offer the upgrade (see poppify-build-reel Step 6).
  • search_live_library before generating — cache hits are free.

2. Plain i2v action prompting (no end frame)

The auto prompt (5-part: cinematography + subject + action + context + style) works well here. Your only lever is liveAction:

  • Specific physical verbs beat abstractions: "exhales slowly, hair drifting in the breeze" beats "looks relaxed".
  • Match intensity to framing: close-ups take micro-gestures (blink, breath); wides take real movement (walks, turns).
  • Respect the pairing check in the animate_slide dryRun preview (pairing.ok / suggestedCamera) — a warned-against camera layered on a big action produces warping.
  • Iterate with animate_slide({dryRun:true, ...}) (free, no apiKey) until the assembled prompt reads shippable.

3. First/last-frame transition workflow (bridged renders)

The full recipe, in order:

  1. Start image on the slide (photo or add_slide_image).
  2. End frame via add_slide_image with referenceAssetId / referenceImageUrl (consistent-frames mode, same cost) — MUST be composition-locked. Pass sessionId so the end frame is generated at the session's aspect ratio: the start image, the end frame, and the reel must all be the SAME orientation (vertical by default), or the bridge crops/letterboxes and the interpolation drifts. Prompt template:

    "Same camera position, same framing, same background/setting. Only <the delta> changes. Subject <geometric consequence of the action — e.g. two steps lower, closer to camera, larger in frame>."

  3. update_slides({action:"set_motion_mode", slideIndex, motionMode:"live", liveAction, endFrameUri, liveDurationSeconds: 8}) — pass 8 explicitly: the current provider (Veo 3.1 Lite) REJECTS lastFrame at 4s/6s with 400 INVALID_ARGUMENT ("use case not supported"); 8 is the only working bucket for bridged renders.
  4. animate_slide({dryRun:true, ...}) (free preview) — reference only in this mode. The auto prompt is single-frame style (camera move + slow-motion suffix); do NOT ship it for a bridged render.
  5. Author the journey overridePrompt (template below).
  6. search_live_library (bridged renders cache in their own slot) → animate_slide({sessionId, slideIndex, overridePrompt}).

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.
