SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Creating ranking, countdown, or Top-N listicle short videos normally requires manually coordinating shot design, consistent item visuals, rank badges, and narration across every entry. This Skill turns a ranking topic into a complete vertical short-film production workflow with a fixed countdown structure. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Countdown Structure: Builds a 5-11 shot storyboard that counts down from rank N to No.1, with a hook shot, per-item shots, a No.1 reveal shot, and a comment-bait CTA shot. - Template-Locked Visuals: Enforces consistent framing, lighting, and background across item shots (single centered subject, dark gradient backdrop, rim light), with a deliberate golden-glow break only for the No.1 reveal. - Automatic Rank Badges: Uses the ranking subtitle mode to overlay red rank badges, item titles, and captions, keeping the top-left quarter of every frame clear. - Use Case: Ask for a "Top 5 legendary swords" short video and receive a full shot list with bilingual image prompts, narration lines, voice and BGM direction, and retake notes for common visual defects. ## Quick Start Use the kn-ranking skill to make a vertical Top 5 countdown short video about the most iconic movie villains.

Frequently Asked Questions about kn-ranking

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make a Top 10 countdown short video with AI?▼

Invoke the ranking workflow with your topic, and it produces a 5-11 shot storyboard counting down from the lowest rank to No.1. Each item shot carries a rank badge, title, narration line, and caption, ending with a reveal shot and a comment-prompt CTA.

How do I keep item visuals consistent across a ranking video?▼

The workflow locks framing, camera height, background color, and lighting direction across all item shots, changing only the subject. Later prompts explicitly reference the previous shot's composition, and retake notes fix drift if the style jumps between entries.

Does the ranking video workflow support vertical short-video formats?▼

Yes, it defaults to 9:16 vertical output suited for short-video platforms. Rank numbers are added by the subtitle system as red badges in the top-left corner, so image prompts must keep that quarter of the frame empty.

When should I not use a ranking listicle format?▼

Avoid it for explaining a single concept, delivering a quote, or telling a narrative story, since those fit explainer, quote, or storybook workflows better. Deep analysis of one book also belongs in a dedicated book workflow rather than a list.

Why does my ranking video show text or cluttered backgrounds in frames?▼

Ranking information must come from badge subtitles, not in-frame text, and each shot needs a single centered subject on a dark gradient background. Use the retake notes to remove in-image text, simplify backgrounds, and separate subject brightness from the backdrop.
