124 shot recipe cards and a tested Remotion template for cinematic product promos built from real UI screenshots.

What it does

A self-contained production kit for web and desktop product promos: 124 shot recipe cards in 10 categories (each with intent, a motion core, a parameter table, known pitfalls and a reference implementation), a validated Remotion template called Ink Press, reusable components and audio assets, and a six-stage workflow. The skill first runs a read-only product check, then offers three modes: reuse the template, autonomous free creation, or co-creation with sign-off on the brief, visual direction, shot mapping and storyboard. The cards double as a general motion vocabulary, so you can pull one for a single shot in any video. Extras export Jianying (CapCut China) drafts and publish through Upload-Post.
