video-generation
AI video generation with Sora, Veo, and Kling. Use when creating Reels, video prompts, or handling video generation workflows.
When & Why to Use This Skill
This Claude skill streamlines AI video generation by integrating top-tier models including Sora, Veo, and Kling. It provides an automated workflow for creating high-quality cinematic videos, social media Reels, and professional product showcases, featuring smart model selection based on prompt complexity and specific platform requirements like Instagram specs.
Use Cases
- Social Media Content Creation: Automatically generate 9:16 vertical videos optimized for Instagram Reels and TikTok with specific cinematography styles.
- Product Marketing & Showcases: Use Google's Veo 3.1 to create realistic, high-quality videos for product demonstrations and simple commercial scenes.
- Complex Cinematic Storytelling: Leverage OpenAI's Sora for advanced video prompts involving complex transformations, morphing, and epic cinematic movements.
- Industrial & IoT Visualizations: Utilize Kling Pro for technical or industrial-themed content, such as documenting IoT sensor behavior or professional documentary-style footage.

AI Video Generation
Quick Reference
| Model | Provider | Duration | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veo 3.1 | 4-8s | Simple scenes, products | |
| Sora 2 | OpenAI | 4-12s | Complex scenes |
| Kling Pro | fal.ai | 5-10s | Industrial, IoT |
Model Selection
# Auto-select based on complexity
from app.sora_helper import generate_video_smart
result = await generate_video_smart(prompt, topic, duration=8)
# Returns: {success, video_path, model_used}
Complexity Keywords:
- HIGH (Sora Pro): transformation, morphing, cinematic, epic
- MEDIUM (Sora): tracking, dolly, movement, transition
- LOW (Veo): static, simple, product
Prompt Formula
[CINEMATOGRAPHY] + [SUBJECT] + [ACTION] + [CONTEXT] + [STYLE]
Example:
Slow dolly shot, IoT sensor on greenhouse shelf, LED blinking green,
morning sunlight through glass, professional documentary style
Generation Functions
# Veo (Google)
from app.veo_helper import generate_video_veo3
result = await generate_video_veo3(prompt, aspect_ratio="9:16", duration_seconds=8)
# Sora (OpenAI)
from app.sora_helper import generate_video_sora
result = await generate_video_sora(prompt, model="sora-2", size="720x1280")
# Kling (fal.ai)
from app.fal_helper import FalVideoGenerator
result = await FalVideoGenerator.generate_video(prompt, model="kling_pro", duration=10)
Instagram Specs
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Aspect | 9:16 vertical |
| Resolution | 720x1280 |
| Codec | H.264/AAC |
| Max Duration | 90s |
Environment Variables
GEMINI_API_KEY=... # Veo
OPENAI_API_KEY=... # Sora
FAL_API_KEY=... # Kling
Return Format
# Success
{"success": True, "video_path": "/path/to.mp4", "model_used": "veo-3.1"}
# Error with fallback
{"success": False, "error": "...", "fallback": "veo3"}
Best Practices
- Simple, comma-separated sentences
- Include camera movement + lighting
- Avoid complex physics (bouncing, running)
- Use: "cinematic", "professional", "documentary"
- Duration: 5-8s ideal for Reels
