Short-Form Video Content Creation Pipeline

Problem

Short-form video production often stalls between asset downloads, script rewrites, subtitle generation, cover design, and banned-word checks. This skill pack organizes common tools into composable workflow modules, helping individual creators and small MCN teams turn existing footage into publishable videos. It is more of an engineering pipeline than a single editor: FFmpeg handles clipping, transcoding, and subtitles; Node.js/Python support OCR, scripts, and Remotion rendering; copywriting and moderation skills are centered on Chinese short-video platforms such as Douyin and Xiaohongshu.

Core capabilities and workflow

• Editing: video-auto-editor covers clipping, Whisper subtitles, subtitle embedding, format conversion, watermarks, and audio replacement; video-editor provides scripts for cut, merge, convert, resize, speed, and crop; remotion-video-toolkit renders data-driven MP4s from React components.
• Copy and titles: from copywriting frameworks to viral-script-writer, viral-title-generator, and viral-hook-weaponizer for opening hooks and title variants; douyin-copy-extract extracts titles and spoken scripts from links, while douyin-sensitive-check flags banned terms.
• Assets and recognition: douyin-zh downloads videos, douyin-cover-builder generates covers, and douyin-hot-trend tracks trending topics; ocr-local and vision-bot help extract text from screenshots and identify objects or product parameters.
• Review analysis: review-radar, review-miner, ecommerce-review-analyzer, and linkfox-amazon-reviews help mine selling points, pain points, and service issues from storefront and platform reviews.

A typical flow is: extract competitor copy or product assets, generate a script plus three title options, clip and transcode to H.264 with FFmpeg, add subtitles, create a cover, run sensitive-word checks, and prepare publishing.

Boundaries and notes

It fits Chinese short-form video, e-commerce product demos, factory content, educational explainers, and multi-account content pipelines. Fine rhythm, effects, and voiceover still benefit from CapCut or similar tools; some API-based features may be paid; Tesseract Chinese language packs may download on first use; Douyin and Xiaohongshu logins may require browser QR-code scanning. It is not a guarantee of viral performance, so humans should still review visuals, spoken logic, and platform rules before publishing.
