video-add-motion-graphics

video-add-motion-graphics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from WhiteTowerAI/cut-as-code. It costs 34 tokens per session (3,484 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for adding designed motion-graphic effects to video as overlays or full-frame timeline inserts. It accounts for transcript timing and keeps effects away from protected faces, heads, captions, and other overlays.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan or apply bundled motion recipes to video shots, either over the original footage or as pauses that resume at the exact source position.
Why use it?
It helps add visual emphasis without covering important people or text and distinguishes effects that preserve source timing from inserts that add program time.

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-add-motion-graphics 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 13 executable files (recipes/animxyz/xyz-fade-big/hyperframes/hf-adapter.js, recipes/animxyz/xyz-fade-big/hyperframes/hf-recipe.js, recipes/animxyz/xyz-fade-down/hyperframes/hf-adapter.js, …), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 227 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Video Add Motion Graphics

Add selective, shot-designed recipe adaptations either over the source or as full-frame timeline inserts. An overlay leaves source time and audio unchanged. A timeline-insert is a full-frame ripple insert (also called a source-hold insert): it adds program time, pauses source video and source audio, then resumes both from the exact paused source time. It is not a freeze frame and not an opaque overlay. Face and head safety is absolute for protected people: no graphic, text, mask, particle, or transient animation may overlap the visible face or head silhouette of a primary or foreground person, speaker, presenter, interviewee, or semantically important person in any frame. An incidental background-only person who is not a narrative or visual focus is exempt; protect uncertain cases. On overlap, reposition the effect first, then scale down or redesign it; skip the cue when no compliant placement exists. Caption safety is also absolute. When captions are active, treat their complete occupied region across every overlapping cue as a reserved exclusion zone. Motion graphics runs after captions and content cards, and may not overlap either upstream overlay. The bundled recipes/ tree is the only effect library. Do not search the web, query a remote catalog, or author a substitute effect. Every bundled manifest recipe is supported through its preconverted hyperframes/ directory. The library contains 1,513 recipes: 218 motion-anything recipes, 37 MIT-licensed Codrops project recipes backed by 112 internal variants, and 1,258 source-backed stickers across canvas-confetti/, mojs/, line-md/, meteocons/, and tsparticles/. Library-level provenance lives in recipes/ATTRIBUTION.md; each source directory also carries its exact license and SOURCE.json receipt.

REQUIRED SUB-SKILLS: Use video-understand first. Use hyperframes, hyperframes-core, hyperframes-animation, hyperframes-keyframes, and hyperframes-cli for checks, snapshots, and rendering.

Read recipe-selection.md, porting-guide.md, anti-ai-aesthetic-protocol.md, and example-motion-graphics-plan.json.

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.
