# tiktok-launch-video

Turns a product brief or launch page into a 9:16 TikTok video: hook in the first second, burned-in captions, fast cuts. Publishing to TikTok Ads is optional.

## What it does

The skill follows TikTok grammar instead of stretching a landscape cut to vertical. It pulls product context from a local file, the Cogny context tree or a launch page, builds a brand kit from colors and fonts, then picks one proven format — POV, build-in-public, contrarian take, before/after, list-tease — and writes a beat sheet timed to the second. Default length is 15 seconds, beats run about 1–2.5 seconds each, and the last beat carries a concrete call to action.

HyperFrames renders the video as programmatic HTML/CSS, so the output is deterministic. Node 22+ and FFmpeg 6+ have to be on the machine; check `node --version` and `ffmpeg -version` first, because the build stops without them. No accounts are needed to make the file.

Publishing is a separate, optional step. An in-feed ad goes up through TikTok Ads and needs the MP4 at a public URL no larger than 500 MB. A Spark ad reuses a post the creator already published, keeping its likes and comments. Every publish call asks for confirmation first, and the beat sheet comes back to you for approval before anything renders.
