Direct Text-to-Video Pipeline

Single model call from a text prompt to a clip. No intermediate still.

When to use

Exploratory or B-roll shots where you don't need to lock the opening frame.

Motion-heavy shots where the model's interpretation of motion matters more than composition.

Faster iteration when image-then-animate is overkill.

When NOT to use

Character-specific shots needing visual consistency — direct text-to-video drifts heavily across takes. Use text-to-image-to-video instead.

Talking heads — use voice-to-lip-sync over a generated character clip.

Inputs

Shot brief from scripts/storyboards/NN-*.md.

Text-to-video model from brief/tools-and-models.md.

Steps

Compose prompt. Combine visual seed + motion description + style/vibe. Show to user.

Generate. Call the configured text-to-video model. Save to generation/text-to-video/NN-shortname-vN.mp4. Save prompt + model + parameters to generation/prompts/NN-shortname-vN.md. Log it.

Surface. Show clip. Offer retry, accept, or switch to text-to-image-to-video for tighter control.

Accept. Copy to clips/raw/ and suggest /promote-take.

Common gotchas

Cost per retry is high. Text-to-video models are typically the most expensive call in any pipeline. Iterate the prompt carefully before each call — don't just hit retry.

Aspect / duration locked at gen time. Most models don't let you crop or extend after the fact cleanly. Set both correctly per the brief.
