Dark Glide Launch Film

A short, dark launch film: a glide past the product's screens, a typed command, the result up close and the name lighting up.

Makes a 25 to 40 s launch film (MP4) from a set recipe. Dark and precise: a slow flight across their own screens sets the mood, one typed command does the work, a loupe shows the result in detail and a status-line wordmark lands the name. The recipe sets the scene order, pacing, look and sizes; the person's words, screenshots and logo fill it. Renders locally with Chrome and ffmpeg: no video model, no key and no cost. Use when someone wants a developer tool, an agent or a command-line product needs a short dark teaser, a launch post video or a changelog film.

About this skill

Make a short, dark launch teaser for the Tidewater command line: `tide today` prints "3 things today", "12 open" and "Weekly report ready". Our screens and logo are in the folder.

It said back

I made the teaser: launch-film/tidewater-teaser.mp4. It's 26.2 s, 1920×1080 (16:9), 30 fps and 3.4 MB, with no sound. I checked every scene in a still frame before rendering and all the text reads cleanly.

It uses the dark graphite velocity look with a green accent:
