🎬 VideoAgent Video Studio

Use when: User asks to generate a video, create a video from text, animate an image, make a short clip, or produce AI video.

Generate short AI videos with 7 backends. This skill picks the right mode (text-to-video or image-to-video), enhances the prompt for best results, and returns the video URL.


Quick Reference

"Make a video of..." (no image) text-to-video 4–10 s
"Animate this image" / "Make this move" image-to-video 4–6 s
"Turn this into a video with..." image-to-video 4–6 s
Cinematic, story, ad Prefer text-to-video with detailed prompt 5–10 s

Generation Modes

Mode Description Models
text-to-video Text prompt only → video minimax, kling, veo, hunyuan, grok, seedance
image-to-video Single image + prompt → animated clip minimax, kling, veo, pixverse, grok, seedance
reference-based Reference images/video → consistent output minimax, kling, veo, hunyuan, grok, seedance

Models (use --model <id>)

Model ID T2V I2V Reference Notes
minimax Subject reference image, character consistency
kling Multi-element / character / keyframe (O3)
veo Google Veo 3.1, multiple reference images
hunyuan Video-to-video style transfer

How to Generate a Video

Step 1 — Choose mode and enhance the prompt

  • Text-to-video: Expand with subject, action, camera movement, lighting, and style. Be specific about motion (e.g. "camera slowly zooms in", "character walks left to right").
  • Image-to-video: Describe the motion to apply to the image (e.g. "gentle breeze in the hair", "camera pans across the scene"). See references/prompt_guide.md for patterns.

Step 2 — Run the script

Text-to-video:

node {baseDir}/tools/generate.js \
  --mode text-to-video \
  --prompt "<enhanced prompt>" \
  --duration <seconds> \
  --aspect-ratio <ratio>

Image-to-video:

node {baseDir}/tools/generate.js \
  --mode image-to-video \
  --prompt "<motion description>" \
  --image-url "<public image URL>" \
  --duration <seconds> \
  --aspect-ratio <ratio>

Parameters:

Parameter Default Description
--mode text-to-video text-to-video or image-to-video
--prompt (required) Scene or motion description
--image-url Required for image-to-video; public image URL
--duration 5 Length in seconds (typically 4–10)
--aspect-ratio 16:9 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4
--model auto Model ID (e.g. kling, veo, grok, seedance); auto = proxy picks

Other commands:

Command Description
node tools/generate.js --list-models List available models from the proxy
node tools/generate.js --status --job-id <id> Check async job status

Step 3 — Return the result

The script returns JSON:

{
  "success": true,
  "mode": "text-to-video",
  "videoUrl": "https://...",
  "duration": 5,
  "aspectRatio": "16:9"
}

Send videoUrl to the user.

How to use videoagent-video-studio on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

1

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

  • Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
  • Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with node --version)
  • Active project directory or workspace where you want to add videoagent-video-studio
2

Execute installation command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/pexoai/pexo-skills --skill videoagent-video-studio

The skills CLI fetches videoagent-video-studio from GitHub repository pexoai/pexo-skills and configures it for Cursor.

3

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?
│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ── always included ────
│ • Amp
│ • Antigravity
│ • Cline
│ • Codex
│ ●Cursor(selected)
│ • Cursor
│ • Windsurf
4

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/videoagent-video-studio

Reload or restart Cursor to activate videoagent-video-studio. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /videoagent-video-studio) or your agent's skill management interface.

Security & Verification Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.

Implementation Guide

Prerequisites

  • Claude Desktop or compatible AI client with skill support
  • Clear understanding of task or problem to solve
  • Willingness to iterate and refine outputs

Time Estimate

15-45 minutes depending on use case complexity

Installation Steps

  1. 1.Install skill using provided installation command
  2. 2.Test with simple use case relevant to your work
  3. 3.Evaluate output quality and relevance
  4. 4.Iterate on prompts to improve results
  5. 5.Integrate into regular workflow if valuable

Common Pitfalls

  • Expecting perfect results without iteration
  • Not providing enough context in prompts
  • Using skill for tasks outside its intended scope
  • Accepting outputs without review and validation

Best Practices

✓ Do

  • +Start with clear, specific prompts
  • +Provide relevant context and constraints
  • +Review and refine all outputs before using
  • +Iterate to improve output quality
  • +Document successful prompt patterns

✗ Don't

  • Don't use without understanding skill limitations
  • Don't skip validation of outputs
  • Don't share sensitive information in prompts
  • Don't expect skill to replace human judgment

💡 Pro Tips

  • Be specific about desired format and style
  • Ask for multiple options to choose from
  • Request explanations to understand reasoning
  • Combine AI efficiency with human expertise

When to Use This

✓ Use When

Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.

✗ Avoid When

Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.

Learning Path

  1. 1Familiarize yourself with skill capabilities and limitations
  2. 2Start with low-risk, non-critical tasks
  3. 3Progress to more complex and valuable use cases
  4. 4Build expertise through regular use and experimentation
