AI Video Skills for Claude Code, Codex and Grok. How to make any video with AI agents: step-by-step tutorials, and 582 AI video prompts, effects, styles, guides, workflows and model skills from varg, HeyGen HyperFrames, Remotion, fal, ElevenLabs, Higgsfield, Krea, Runway, inference.sh and independent creators, each with exact install commands for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw and Gemini CLI. The generation itself runs on varg (one API key for Seedance 2.5, Kling 4, Veo 3.1, ElevenLabs and 200+ models) or on the vendor's own service.

How an agent uses this site:

1. Search in one call: curl -s "https://varg.ai/how-to/api/search?q=ugc+ad" returns the best how-to page and the top skills with install commands, as markdown. JSON: https://varg.ai/how-to/api/search.json?q=…. Russian queries work.
2. Open the how-to page it names. It lists the best skill, alternatives, the visual options to show the person before spending anything, and the steps.
3. Show the person 2–4 options (looks, formats, voices) with the example links, then install the chosen skill and run it.
4. Everything machine-readable: https://varg.ai/how-to/catalog.json. Each skill installs with the command on its page (its own repo). npx skills add https://varg.ai/how-to installs only varg's own skills (varg-ai and friends).

Cuts & pacing

• Hard Cut: One shot ends, the next begins on the very next frame. The default join: invisible when the content flows.
• Jump Cut: Cut out a stretch inside one continuous shot, so the subject visibly jumps. Removes pauses, adds pace.
• Jump-Zoom Punch-In: Hide a jump cut by scaling the next segment 110–130%. Reads as a second camera angle in talking heads.
• J-Cut: Shot B's sound starts before its picture. The ear arrives first and pulls the viewer into the next scene.
• L-Cut: Shot A's sound keeps playing after the picture cuts to B. Carries a line or a mood across the edit.
• Graphic Match Cut: Cut between two shots that share a shape, colour or position on screen, so the eye slides from one to the other.
• Action Match Cut: A movement started in shot A finishes in shot B: a jump, a throw, a door swing carried across two angles.
• Sound Match Cut: Two different sounds that rhyme (a scream and a train whistle) bridge the cut and link the two scenes.
• Cut on Action: Change angle while the subject moves. The movement hides the cut and keeps continuity.
• Smash Cut: An abrupt cut from one extreme to its opposite (calm to chaos, loud to silent) at the most surprising moment.
• Cutaway / Insert: Briefly leave the main shot for a detail or related shot, then come back. Shows what is talked about and hides edits.
• Cross-Cutting: Alternate between two or more scenes happening at the same time, building tension or comparison.
• Invisible Cut: Hide a cut inside a frame that is fully covered (a passing object, a dark wall, a blur) to fake one continuous shot.
• In-Camera Whip Pan Cut: End shot A and start shot B with real fast pans in the same direction, and cut inside the motion blur.
• Speed Ramp: Change playback speed within a shot (fast into a moment, slow on it, fast out) to stress the beat.
• Freeze Frame: Stop on a single frame for a beat, to introduce a character, land a joke or add a caption.
• Beat-Synced Cut: Place cuts on the beats of the music so the edit feels driven by the track.
• Split Screen: Show two or more shots at once in separate panels: comparison, reaction or simultaneous action.
• Montage Sequence: A run of short shots, usually on music, that compresses time or builds one feeling.
• Rhythmic Cutting (3-2-1): Shorten shot lengths step by step (3 s, 2 s, 1 s, half a second) to build momentum into a payoff.
• Pattern Interrupt: Every few seconds of a short, break the visual pattern: angle, zoom, graphic, sound hit, so attention resets.
• B-Roll Overlay Cut: Keep the A-roll voice running and lay B-roll pictures over it; edits in the A-roll disappear under the cover.
• FFmpeg Concat Demuxer (Lossless): Join files that share codec, resolution, fps and audio format without re-encoding, from a text list.
• FFmpeg Concat Filter (Re-encode): Join any sources frame-accurately by decoding, normalizing and re-encoding them in one filter graph.
• Audio Crossfades, J and L in FFmpeg: Crossfade audio with acrossfade, or build J/L-cuts by delaying one track with adelay and mixing with amix.
• Remotion Overlay on a Cut: Keep a hard cut but draw something over it (flash, light leak, SFX graphic) without shortening the video.

Transitions

• Mix (Cross Dissolve): The two shots blend through each other. The quietest transition: "time passes" or "this continues".
• Dip to Black: A fades to black, then B fades up. Marks the end of a section or a bigger jump in time.
• White Flash: The frame blows out to white for a moment and opens on the next shot. Energy, memory or a camera snap.
• Pull In (Zoom In): The camera rushes into shot A and lands, still moving forward, in shot B. The signature short-form transition.
• Pull Out (Zoom Out): The camera jerks backwards out of shot A and keeps pulling back as shot B settles in.
• Zoom Blur: Both shots smear into a radial zoom blur that bursts open on the next shot.
• Whip Swipe: A fast synthetic pan with heavy motion blur pushes A off and B in. Fakes a whip pan between any two shots.
• Spin: The frame rotates fast around its centre (with blur) and comes out of the spin on the next shot.
• Camera Shake: A short violent shake (often with a zoom) hits on the cut, like an impact or a bass hit.

Questions

What is varg how to?

Step-by-step tutorials and agent skills for making AI video with Claude Code, Codex and Grok: how to make a UGC ad, a music video, captions or a product video, with the prompts, effects, styles, guides, workflows and model skills that do it, each with one install command. The generation runs on varg, priced in credits, or on the vendor’s own service.

What is an AI video skill?

A SKILL.md folder (the Agent Skills standard) that your agent reads before it works. A prompt skill teaches shot language, an effect skill adds something you can see, a workflow skill takes a brief to a finished video.

How do I install a skill in Claude Code, Codex or Grok?

Copy the command on the skill’s page; it names the agent. Most install with npx skills add <repo> --skill <name> -a <agent> -y (Cursor, Gemini CLI and OpenClaw too); any agent that reads SKILL.md can load the file directly. varg’s own skills also install as a Claude Code plugin.

Which video models can the skills use?

Seedance 2.5, Kling 4, Veo 3.1, Wan 3, Nano Banana 2.1, GPT Image 2.5, FLUX, ElevenLabs v4 and 200+ more through one varg API key, or the vendor’s own API.
