Use when the user asks for vfx or a task matching the examples below. Turn a plain video clip into a cinematic AI-VFX shot at 1080p by default (or 4K / 720p on request). Give Claude a video and the change you want; it reads EVERY frame via local contact sheets and understands the audio, writes a Seedance-faithful prompt that locks your face, gestures, and camera move, then re-renders the same shot with the VFX baked in via Seedance reference-to-video.

From the source SKILL.md

Maps a video-to-video VFX move onto the Pika MCP's Seedance reference-to-video, at 1080p by default (bump to 4K, or drop to 720p, only if the user asks). The user hands you a clip + the change they want; you read EVERY frame (locally extracted with ffmpeg and tiled into contact sheets) and understand the audio (speech + music + SFX + ambience), author a Seedance-faithful prompt that locks the original (face, gestures, camera move) and time-codes the change to the right beat, then re-render the same shot with the VFX baked in. One run produces one clip for one requested change.

What this skill does

Vfx is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/vfx/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user asks for vfx or a task matching the examples below. Turn a plain video clip into a cinematic AI-VFX shot at 1080p by default (or 4K / 720p on request).
