## What it does

The skill turns your scene into one continuous take. It appends "one continuous uncut shot, no transitions", camera movement, your style, film grain and 4K to the prompt, so the model does not chop the scene into edit points.

There is one step. Pass a `reference_image` and the call goes through `muapi video generate` with `veo3.1-image-to-video`; without one it uses `veo3.1-text-to-video`. Only `scene` is required — `style`, `duration` and `aspect_ratio` are optional. For 9:16 the skill suggests adding "vertical format, smartphone framing" to the prompt, and when a person is in frame it points at `kling-v3.0-pro-image-to-video` for better human motion.

You need `MUAPI_API_KEY` set and `muapi auth configure` run before the first call. No key, no render — that is the first thing to check. After the video comes back the skill offers a second angle of the same scene or ambient sound via `mmaudio-v2-video-to-video`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SamurAIGPT/Generative-Media-Skills --skill muapi-one-shot-video -a claude-code
```
```bash
npx skills add SamurAIGPT/Generative-Media-Skills --skill one-shot-video -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/one-shot-video/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/one-shot-video/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SamurAIGPT/Generative-Media-Skills --skill one-shot-video -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/one-shot-video/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SamurAIGPT/Generative-Media-Skills --skill one-shot-video -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/one-shot-video/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install SamurAIGPT/Generative-Media-Skills one-shot-video
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/SamurAIGPT/Generative-Media-Skills --path library/motion/one-shot-video
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/one-shot-video/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SamurAIGPT/Generative-Media-Skills --skill one-shot-video -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**

## When to use it
- generate a video as one uncut continuous shot
- put camera motion and dramatic lighting into the prompt
- anchor a scene to a reference image
- produce a vertical 9:16 clip for phone framing
- add ambient sound to a finished clip

## Example prompts
- Generate a one-shot video: a chef plating food in a moody Michelin-star kitchen, 10s, 16:9
- Make a continuous take from this reference image, noir style, handheld, golden hour
- Build a vertical one take in 9:16 and add ambient sound

# One-Shot Video

**Generate a single continuous cinematic shot video — no cuts, one seamless flowing scene with dramatic lighting and motion.**

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| `scene` | text | yes | — | The scene to render (e.g. "a chef plating food in a moody Michelin-star kitchen"). |
| `style` | text | no | cinematic, anamorphic lens, shallow depth of field, dramatic lighting | Visual tone and style (e.g. "noir, handheld, golden hour"). |
| `duration` | text | no | 10s | Target duration (e.g. "5s", "10s"). |
| `aspect_ratio` | text | no | 16:9 | Output aspect ratio — "16:9", "9:16", or "1:1". |
| `reference_image` | image_url | no | — | Optional reference image for subject/scene anchoring. |


## Steps

### Phase A — Generate the One-Shot Video

Submit the plan with ONE step:

1. **One-shot video** — If `{{reference_image}}` is provided, use `muapi video generate` (model=`veo3.1-image-to-video`); otherwise use `muapi video generate` (model=`veo3.1-text-to-video`).
   - Prompt: `{{scene}}, one continuous uncut shot, no transitions, camera slowly moves through scene, {{style}}, ultra cinematic, film grain, 4K quality`
   - Aspect ratio: `{{aspect_ratio}}`
   - Duration: `{{duration}}`

After generation, present the video and suggest:
- A second angle variation
- Adding ambient sound with `mmaudio-v2-video-to-video`

## Notes
- Emphasize "no cuts, no transitions" in the prompt for true one-shot feel.
- For portrait/vertical style (9:16), add "vertical format, smartphone framing" to the prompt.
- If the scene involves a person, suggest `kling-v3.0-pro-image-to-video` as an alternative for better human motion.

## Trigger Keywords

`one shot video`, `single take`, `continuous video`, `one take`, `cinematic shot`, `seamless video`


---

## Notes for the Executing Agent

- This recipe is LLM-orchestrated: read each phase, gather any missing inputs from the user, then call `muapi` CLI commands. Use `muapi auth configure` first if `MUAPI_API_KEY` is unset.
- For model IDs without a CLI alias yet, fall back to the raw endpoint via `curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/<endpoint> -H "x-api-key: $MUAPI_API_KEY" -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{...}'` and poll with `muapi predict wait <request_id>`.
