nation-resilience-hook-video-gen（国家韧性挂钩视频生成）

Nation resilience hook (map + flashes + risk twist)

Template (timings assume duration 10; rescale proportionally for 5 or 15): 0–2s contrarian hook (“almost can’t collapse”); 2–8s three ultra-short on-screen beats (e.g. resources / geography / defense) synced to fast B-roll; 8–10s twist line that reframes the biggest risk (open-ended ellipsis allowed). English subtitles are burned in with explicit second windows—derived from the user’s country or theme unless they supply a final script. Default duration is 10 when unspecified.

Dependencies: WERYAI_API_KEY + Node.js 18+. scripts/video_gen.js + WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md under resources/ (assembly before run). No other Cursor skills required.

Prerequisites

• WERYAI_API_KEY must be set before running video_gen.js.
• Node.js 18+; prefer public https image URLs. If the assembled scripts/video_gen.js accepts local paths, review/verify the script and explicitly consent before local read-and-upload to WeryAI.
• video_gen.js requires a non-empty model—pick a tier from Recommended models or an explicit model_key from the frozen tables.
• Each wait run consumes credits.

Security, secrets, and API hosts

• WERYAI_API_KEY: Secret; listed as requires.env / primaryEnv—never commit the value inside the package.
• API hosts (fixed in video_gen.js): Video https://api.weryai.com; models registry https://api-growth-agent.weryai.com. No URL overrides documented—only the key is read from the environment.
• Local image handling disclosure: Prefer public https image URLs. If the assembled scripts/video_gen.js supports local file paths, it may read a local image and upload it to WeryAI to obtain a public URL; require review / verification and explicit consent before using that path.
• Higher assurance: Use a short-lived or isolated environment; review video_gen.js before production use. Verify whether the runtime can read local image files and upload them to WeryAI, and obtain explicit consent before using that path.

Prompt expansion (mandatory)

video_gen.js does not expand prompts. Build a full English production prompt that locks this template’s timeline.

When: Short user input (country name, region, or metaphorical “nation” topic). Exception: Finished long prompt within prompt_length_limit + user asks not to rewrite—still show full text in the confirmation table.

Always add:

• Duration: Default 10 when unspecified; 5 or 15 when the user asks and the model allows.
• Timeline scaling: If duration is 5 or 15, proportionally rescale every subtitle window; keep the same beat order (hook → three staccato labels → twist).
• Locked caption windows (must follow this rhythm at duration 10):

- 0.0–2.0s — Hook: e.g. *THIS NATION ALMOST CAN’T COLLAPSE* (adapt to user topic). - 2.0–4.0s, 4.0–6.0s, 6.0–8.0s — Three single-focus lines (user-themed): e.g. *RESOURCES* / *GEOGRAPHY* / *DEFENSE* (swap labels to match brief). - 8.0–10.0s — Twist: e.g. *BUT THE REAL RISK IS…* (user fills the implied threat: debt, trust, demographics, etc.—keep ≤6 words on screen if possible).

• Visuals: Animated map, hard cuts, data glitch overlays, military silhouettes / strategic geography without depicting real identifiable leaders as targets of hate; sub-bass tension if generate_audio is true.
• Typography: Bold sans, white + black outline, lower third, short fades, no overlapping windows; English only on screen unless user requests otherwise.
• Motion: Continuous—no static map shots longer than ~1s.
• Negatives (Kling only): illegible text, watermark, garbled captions.

Confirmation: Pre-submit table includes the full expanded prompt.

Niche checklist

• Hook must feel too bold to skip—not a textbook opener.
• Middle three lines are labels, not paragraphs—match one visual beat each.
• Twist is provocative but not a call to violence or hate.

### Example prompts are richness targets only.

Workflow

1. Confirm text-to-video and/or image-to-video (optional multi-image only with SEEDANCE_2_0, ≤3 URLs).
2. Collect brief (which country / abstract “nation” idea), optional image/images, tier or model_key.
3. Expand prompt per above—author English lines from the brief unless user supplied a script.
4. Validate JSON fields against frozen tables.
5. Show confirmation table + full expanded prompt; wait for confirm.
6. node scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '…'.
7. Return [Video](url) links or errors—never wrap playable URLs in code fences.

CLI reference

~~~sh node scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '{"model":"KLING_V3_0_PRO","prompt":"…","duration":10,"aspect_ratio":"9:16","generate_audio":true,"negative_prompt":"illegible text, garbled captions, watermark"}' node scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '{"model":"SEEDANCE_2_0","prompt":"…","duration":10,"aspect_ratio":"9:16","resolution":"720p","generate_audio":true}' ~~~

Definition of done

Playable Video or clear failure. Submitted prompt includes explicit second-by-second caption windows for the full duration, matching this template’s beat order (scaled when duration is not 10), unless the user opted out with a finished prompt.

Boundaries (out of scope)

• No guarantee of geopolitical accuracy—entertainment / opinion tone only; avoid incitement.
• No separate SRT workflow; captions live inside the model prompt.
• Do not use local image paths unless you have reviewed scripts/video_gen.js and explicitly consent to local read-and-upload to WeryAI; otherwise prefer public https URLs. Do not put secret key values in files.
• Do not link shared ../references/ capability docs; use resources/WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md.
• Do not send unsupported API fields; no negative_prompt on Seedance 2.0.
• Multi-image only SEEDANCE_2_0, max 3 URLs.

Example prompts

• Japan island supply lines—hook collapse impossible, three beats, twist: aging population
• Abstract “digital nation” metaphor, same beat map, twist: attention fragmentation
• Image: stylized map poster URL → animate with same subtitle schedule
• Island nation energy imports—three beats then twist on grid vulnerability

Model and API constraints (frozen for this skill)

From node scripts/video_gen.js models --mode text_to_video and --mode image_to_video at authoring; re-run after upgrades.

Text-to-video

Image-to-video

Recommended models

Tier: unspecified → Best; “draft/quick” → Fast; “balanced” → Good.

Default parameters

Text-to-video (primary)

User gives country / theme + optional tone. Expand with locked windows → confirm table → wait.

Image-to-video (optional)

Same subtitle schedule; motion activates map or still.

Tips

• If the user names a real country, keep visuals symbolic (maps, icons)—avoid hostile targeting of groups.
• Twist line works best as ellipsis to drive comments.
