# presentation-video

Turns a deck or slide outline into a narrated animated video: each slide is rebuilt as motion graphics, and its length follows the voiceover audio.

## What it does

The skill takes a deck or a bullet outline and produces a self-playing video. Slides are not screen-recorded — they are rebuilt in code with Remotion, so elements stagger in, transitions actually ease, and text stays crisp at any resolution. The deck becomes the script; the video is a new artifact.

Narration owns the clock. The skill measures each voiceover clip with `getAudioDurationInSeconds` from `@remotion/media-utils`, converts the seconds to frames, and adds a small handle after the voice ends. Reveals inside a slide are scheduled against that same duration, so the viewer reads a line as it is spoken. It suggests starting with an 8-frame stagger between bullets and 0.25–0.5s enter motion.

Slide-to-slide cuts use `<TransitionSeries>` from `@remotion/transitions`, with a short fade or gentle slide between them. The skill also pushes structure before motion: one claim per slide, a single throughline, and the problem–insight–solution–proof–ask order. If you have no per-slide narration, there is nothing to lock timing to — cut the audio first.

npx skills add iart-ai/data-animation-skills --skill presentation-video -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add iart-ai/data-animation-skills --skill presentation-video -a codex
```

## When to use it
- turn a pitch deck into a narrated video
- rebuild slides as motion graphics instead of a screen recording
- sync bullet reveals to the speaker's voice
- auto-advance slides with no clicking
- fix the deck's logic: one claim per slide

## Example prompts
- make an animated presentation from this deck
- turn this pitch deck into a video with narration
- build a deck video and lock the timing to my voiceover clips

# Presentation Video

Turn a deck or slide outline into a narrated, auto-advancing animated video. Each slide is **rebuilt as motion graphics** — staggered element reveals, real transitions, timing locked to the voiceover — not a screen-recording of someone clicking through PowerPoint.

## When to use

- A pitch deck, webinar, or course module that should become a self-playing video.
- A bullet-point outline that needs to become narrated, animated slides.
- A deck where slide timing must track a voiceover exactly (auto-advance, no clicking).

## Rebuild, don't record

A screen-recording inherits the deck's static look, mouse jitter, and abrupt slide cuts. Rebuilding in code (Remotion) buys: per-frame-deterministic reveals, transitions that actually ease, text that stays crisp at any resolution, and slide durations driven by audio length. The deck becomes the *script*; the video is a new artifact.

## Narrative flow: the deck is one argument, not N slides

Before timing or motion, fix the *story*. A presentation video that advances itself has no presenter to recover a lost thread — the structure must carry the logic on its own. Build the spine first; slides are beats on it.

- **One throughline (the spine).** State the deck's single takeaway in one sentence. Every slide must advance that sentence; if a slide doesn't, cut it or move it to an appendix. The viewer should be able to recount the spine after one watch.
- **One message per slide.** A slide makes exactly one point — its title *is* that point, phrased as a claim ("Churn is our real growth tax"), not a label ("Churn"). Two ideas means two slides.
- **Transitions carry logic, not just motion.** The cut between slides should answer "so what's next?" — therefore, but, which means, here's the proof. Match the motion to the logical move: a quiet fade for "and also", a bigger section push for "new act". A transition that doesn't mark a logical step is just decoration.
