Guide

Ten looks for your video. Each with a ready prompt.

Reelkit gives your coding agent ten looks to build a short video in. This page says when to choose each one and gives you a prompt to paste.

New to Reelkit? Start with the three steps

The ten looks

Use one look for the whole video. A video that mixes looks reads as a template. Pick the look that fits, open its prompt and paste it into your agent.

Restrained
Calm and expensive: one background, one hero colour, one typeface, and one object that changes shape instead of cutting.
Showreel
Made to stop the scroll: hard cuts on the beat between full-colour backgrounds, type that fills the frame, and a camera that never stops.
Either mode
Works both ways. Tell the agent which one you want.

The prompts are written to the agent, so they are in English on every page. Each one tells it what to ask you first, names the look, and holds it to the two approvals.

  1. Product walkthrough

    Restrained

    For an app, a site or a feature, shown through your real screenshots. One device or browser frame stays on screen and the content inside it changes, with one pointer label at a time.

    Built from library parts like these

    Show the promptHide the prompt
    Use the Reelkit skill to make a short video in the "Product walkthrough" look.
    Before you plan, ask me in one message for whatever I have not told you, each question with a default:
    - what the video is about, and the one message it must leave
    - the length, and the shape: 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1
    - the language of the narration and the on-screen text
    - my real screenshots of the app or site, as files (never generate app UI)
    In the Look step, choose "Product walkthrough" from reference/styles.md and write it into the first scene's notes.
    Keep one device or browser frame on screen and change the content inside it. One callout at a time, no invented screen, no glow on interface parts.
    Run `reelkit plan check`, then show me the look, the title, the estimated length and every scene with its exact on-screen text. Wait for my clear yes before you build anything.
    Search the shared library before you write a component or generate an image.
    Run `reelkit check` and `reelkit preview`, look at every frame, then show me the frames and wait for my clear yes.
    Only then run `reelkit render` and give me the path it prints.
    Reply to me in the language I write to you in.
  2. Numbers that land

    Restrained

    For results, growth or a comparison: anything with figures. Each scene holds one figure or one chart, the number counts up, and the payoff number gets the biggest move of the video.

    - the length, and the shape: 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1

    - the exact figures to show (use only figures I give you, unchanged)
    In the Look step, choose "Numbers that land" from reference/styles.md and write it into the first scene's notes.
    One figure or one chart per scene. Each number counts up and finishes before the scene's midpoint, and the payoff number gets the biggest move of the video.
    Run `reelkit plan check`, then show me the look, the title, the estimated length and every scene with its exact on-screen text. Wait for my clear yes before you build anything.

    Reply to me in the language I write to you in.
  3. Headline hits

    Showreel

    For an opener, a launch, or a message of a few words that must stop the scroll. One or two words fill the frame, the colour cuts on the beat, and the whole message lands together at the end.

    - the few words of the headline, exactly as they should appear
    In the Look step, choose "Headline hits" from reference/styles.md and write it into the first scene's notes.
    One or two words fill the frame, with hard cuts to a new full colour on the beat, and the whole message together at the end, held. No soft gradients, no outlined words, and at most three full-screen flashes in any second.
    Run `reelkit plan check`, then show me the look, the title, the estimated length and every scene with its exact on-screen text. Wait for my clear yes before you build anything.

    Reply to me in the language I write to you in.
  4. Cinematic story

    Restrained

    For a mood, a place, or a story told by a voice. Slow moves across pictures under a film grade and grain, a poster-style title to open, and few words on screen.

    In the Look step, choose "Cinematic story" from reference/styles.md and write it into the first scene's notes.
    Move slowly across generated or reused pictures, with a film grade and grain over everything and a poster-style title to open. Few words on screen: the captions carry the text. No interface parts, no bright accent colours, no fast cuts.
    Run `reelkit plan check`, then show me the look, the title, the estimated length and every scene with its exact on-screen text. Wait for my clear yes before you build anything.

  5. Neon and night

    Showreel

    For technology, AI or nightlife: anything that should feel electric. A near-black background, one glowing colour, a sign-like title and thin lines that draw themselves.

    In the Look step, choose "Neon and night" from reference/styles.md and write it into the first scene's notes.
    Near-black background, one glowing colour, a sign-like title and thin lines that draw themselves. Glow goes on the hero element and the lines only, never on body text.

  6. Notebook

    Restrained

    For a personal, warm or teaching tone. A paper background, a handwriting or rounded typeface, and hand-drawn arrows, circles and underlines that draw themselves onto the point being made.

    In the Look step, choose "Notebook" from reference/styles.md and write it into the first scene's notes.
    Paper background with faint grain, a handwriting or rounded face, and hand-drawn arrows, circles and underlines that draw themselves onto the point being made. No crisp interface chrome, and no more than two ink colours.
    Run `reelkit plan check`, then show me the look, the title, the estimated length and every scene with its exact on-screen text. Wait for my clear yes before you build anything.
    Search the shared library before you write a component or generate an image.

    Only then run `reelkit render` and give me the path it prints.
    Reply to me in the language I write to you in.
  7. Step by step

    Restrained

    For a process, a how-to or a recipe of three to five steps. The steps build one at a time, each with a short label beside the action, and the video ends on a short title over the result.

    In the Look step, choose "Step by step" from reference/styles.md and write it into the first scene's notes.
    Build the steps one at a time, each with a short label beside the action, and end on a short title over the result. Never show all the steps at once, and never let a label cover the thing it describes.
    Run `reelkit plan check`, then show me the look, the title, the estimated length and every scene with its exact on-screen text. Wait for my clear yes before you build anything.
    Search the shared library before you write a component or generate an image.

    Reply to me in the language I write to you in.
  8. People and proof

    Restrained

    For a testimonial, an introduction, a creator talking, or social proof. The name and role sit in a lower third, the quote gets a card of its own, and a follow line closes. Every name and quote is yours, word for word.

  9. Over footage

    Either mode

    For when you already have your own video. The footage is the picture and the graphics are guests: one overlay at a time, clear of the speaker's face, with captions throughout.

    In the Look step, choose "Over footage" from reference/styles.md and write it into the first scene's notes.
    Register my video with `reelkit assets upload --footage`. The footage is the picture and the graphics are guests: one overlay at a time, clear of the speaker's face, captions always, and no graphic left on screen after its sentence.
    Run `reelkit plan check`, then show me the look, the title, the estimated length and every scene with its exact on-screen text. Wait for my clear yes before you build anything.
    Search the shared library before you write a component or generate an image.
    Run `reelkit check` and `reelkit preview`, look at every frame, then show me the frames and wait for my clear yes.

    Reply to me in the language I write to you in.
  10. Logo sting

    Either mode

    For an opener or an end card made from your own logo file. The motion builds toward the logo from its own shapes and colours, and lands on it exactly as you supplied it.

    Show the promptHide the prompt
    Use the Reelkit skill to make a short video in the "Logo sting" look.
    Before you plan, ask me in one message for whatever I have not told you, each question with a default:
    - what the video is about, and the one message it must leave
    - the length, and the shape: 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1

    - my logo file, and whether the sting should be restrained or showreel
    In the Look step, choose "Logo sting" from reference/styles.md and write it into the first scene's notes.
    Register the logo with `reelkit assets upload`. Build toward the logo from its own shapes and colours and land on it exactly as supplied, held. Never redraw, recolour or stretch it.
    Run `reelkit plan check`, then show me the look, the title, the estimated length and every scene with its exact on-screen text. Wait for my clear yes before you build anything.
    Search the shared library before you write a component or generate an image.
    Run `reelkit check` and `reelkit preview`, look at every frame, then show me the frames and wait for my clear yes.
    Only then run `reelkit render` and give me the path it prints.

These are searches of the shared library, not samples of the finished video.

None of these fits?

Describe your own: the message, what happens on screen, the colours, the length and the shape. Send an example if you have one. The agent takes the nearest look as its base, writes a short brief and shows it to you with the plan.

Mistakes that spoil a Hebrew video

Hebrew on screen breaks in the same few ways. The skill has its own rules for them, and the agent reads those before it plans. This list is for you: it is what to look for in the preview frames.

  1. What goes wrong

    The full stop, the comma or the exclamation mark jumps to the wrong end of the line.

    What to do

    Every Hebrew text container gets a right-to-left direction. The mark then sits at the left end of the last word.

  2. What goes wrong

    A word uncovered by a moving edge reads for a moment as a row of dashes, or as a different word.

    What to do

    Words enter whole: a short rise, or a slight scale down onto their place. No masks and no wipes.

  3. What goes wrong

    Two Hebrew words are joined with a hyphen, or a long dash sits in a headline.

    What to do

    Two words with a space between them. A comma, a full stop or a new line in place of the dash.

  4. What goes wrong

    The renderer wraps a Hebrew line wherever it runs out of room.

    What to do

    Lines are broken by meaning, and each line is an element of its own that never wraps.

  5. What goes wrong

    A typeface with Latin letters only is silently swapped for another one, and the weights stop matching.

    What to do

    A Hebrew typeface from the kit, such as Heebo or Rubik: one family for the whole video, in two weights.

One thing does not flip: progress bars, sliders and media timelines still fill left to right, as every player does.
