SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Producing product demos, feature walkthroughs, and presentation-style videos usually requires generating a new image for every shot, which drives up AI image costs and breaks visual consistency. This Skill produces explainer videos from a small set of reusable asset images, cutting image generation cost from one image per shot to one image per asset. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Asset-first production: Extracts 2-5 asset images (product views, detail close-ups, data charts, usage scenes) plus one fixed scene from the script, then reuses them across shots with different camera moves. - Zero-cost shot reuse: Reuse shots reference a first-appearance image via the supply command with new camera semantics (push-in, pull-back, pan), so no additional image generation is billed. - Cross-chapter asset library: Series-level assets like product images and logos are registered as props and supplied across chapters without regeneration. - Use Case: Given a script for a portable coffee maker demo, generate 3-4 studio-style asset images, build a 10-shot storyboard that reuses them with varied camera moves, add narration and subtitles, and assemble the final video for roughly the cost of 3-4 images plus TTS. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run /kn-showcase with your product topic or script to produce an asset-reuse explainer video with the explainer profile.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make a product demo video with only a few images?▼

Run /kn-showcase with your topic or script. It generates 2-5 asset images plus one fixed scene, then reuses them across shots with different camera moves like push-ins and pans, so a 10-shot video costs only about 3-4 image generations plus voiceover.

How does shot reuse work without generating new images?▼

The first-appearance shot generates the asset image normally with gen-image. Reuse shots reference that output through the supply command with a different camera instruction, so the image generation stage skips them entirely at zero cost.

Can I reuse product images across multiple video chapters?▼

Yes. Register series-level assets like product images or logos as props via project refs, store them under assets/refs, and supply them into any chapter. This avoids regenerating the same asset for each episode.

When should I not use the asset-reuse explainer approach?▼

Avoid it when the video needs characters acting out a story, which fits anime-style skills, or when every shot needs a completely different image with no reuse value, which fits the kn-explainer skill instead.

Why do reused asset images look inconsistent across shots?▼

Inconsistency comes from assets generated with different background colors, key light directions, or perspective heights. Keep all assets in the same color base, lighting direction, and camera height so they look shot in one studio session.
