# Creator and influencer video

Short-form social content for an audience, not a corporate training tape.

Also follow `references/always.md`.

If a tool fails because of credits or account access, tell the user to open https://app.videogen.io and manage their VideoGen account, then retry.

## When to use

TikTok, Reels, Shorts, YouTube intros, or influencer posts. The user is making content for followers, not a company L&D library.

## Steps

1. Call `get_me` if this chat has not already confirmed a linked account.
2. Default `{ width: 9, height: 16 }`. Ask only if they want landscape.
3. If they want a 2–3 beat hook (face, demo, CTA), call `storyboard_to_video` with **at most 3 scenes**, each with `prompt` and optional `voiceoverScript`.
4. If they want a spoken talking-track over b-roll, call `script_to_video` and keep it short.
5. If they have a recorded voiceover, `open_uploader` then `voiceover_to_video`.
6. Poll until `succeeded`. `remix_project` with `CAPTIONS` and `ANIMATE_IMAGES`. `export_project` and share `downloadUrl`.

## Output

A social-ready MP4 and `projectId`. Do not invent ids.

## Do not

- Build a long landscape explainer (use videogen-marketing-video or videogen-education-video).
- Skip captions on vertical social unless they asked to leave them off.
