About this skill

You say

Make a 30-second launch video for this release (release.md) to post on X.

It said back

I've made the launch video for Quarry 2.0. The check found no layout problems, and I looked at a still frame of every scene before rendering.

File: launch-video/quarry-2-launch.mp4. It's 1920×1080 (16:9, which suits X), 31.8 s long, at 30 fps. The plan is in launch-video/film.json.
