- description
- Create vertical nation-resilience hooks with timed English on-screen text (WeryAI): map flashes, resource–geography–defense beats, risk twist. Use for geopolitics Shorts, atlas montage, or country-comparison tension. Use when the user asks for map-driven hooks or collapse-vs-risk angles. SEO: geopolitics hook video; nation resilience video.

Nation resilience hook (map + flashes + risk twist)
Template (timings assume duration 10; rescale proportionally for 5 or 15): 0–2s contrarian hook (“almost can’t collapse”); 2–8s three ultra-short on-screen beats (e.g. resources / geography / defense) synced to fast B-roll; 8–10s twist line that reframes the biggest risk (open-ended ellipsis allowed). English subtitles are burned in with explicit second windows—derived from the user’s country or theme unless they supply a final script. Default duration is 10 when unspecified.
Dependencies: WERYAI_API_KEY + Node.js 18+. scripts/video_gen.js + WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md under resources/ (assembly before run). No other Cursor skills required.
Prerequisites
WERYAI_API_KEYmust be set before runningvideo_gen.js.- Node.js 18+; prefer public
httpsimage URLs. If the assembledscripts/video_gen.jsaccepts local paths, review/verify the script and explicitly consent before local read-and-upload to WeryAI. video_gen.jsrequires a non-emptymodel—pick a tier from Recommended models or an explicitmodel_keyfrom the frozen tables.- Each
waitrun consumes credits.
Security, secrets, and API hosts
WERYAI_API_KEY: Secret; listed asrequires.env/primaryEnv—never commit the value inside the package.- API hosts (fixed in
video_gen.js): Videohttps://api.weryai.com; models registryhttps://api-growth-agent.weryai.com. No URL overrides documented—only the key is read from the environment. - Local image handling disclosure: Prefer public
httpsimage URLs. If the assembledscripts/video_gen.jssupports local file paths, it may read a local image and upload it to WeryAI to obtain a public URL; require review / verification and explicit consent before using that path. - Higher assurance: Use a short-lived or isolated environment; review
video_gen.jsbefore production use. Verify whether the runtime can read local image files and upload them to WeryAI, and obtain explicit consent before using that path.
Prompt expansion (mandatory)
video_gen.js does not expand prompts. Build a full English production prompt that locks this template’s timeline.
When: Short user input (country name, region, or metaphorical “nation” topic). Exception: Finished long prompt within prompt_length_limit + user asks not to rewrite—still show full text in the confirmation table.
Always add:
- Duration: Default 10 when unspecified; 5 or 15 when the user asks and the model allows.
- Timeline scaling: If
durationis 5 or 15, proportionally rescale every subtitle window; keep the same beat order (hook → three staccato labels → twist). - Locked caption windows (must follow this rhythm at duration 10):
- 0.0–2.0s — Hook: e.g. *THIS NATION ALMOST CAN’T COLLAPSE* (adapt to user topic). - 2.0–4.0s, 4.0–6.0s, 6.0–8.0s — Three single-focus lines (user-themed): e.g. *RESOURCES* / *GEOGRAPHY* / *DEFENSE* (swap labels to match brief). - 8.0–10.0s — Twist: e.g. *BUT THE REAL RISK IS…* (user fills the implied threat: debt, trust, demographics, etc.—keep ≤6 words on screen if possible).
- Visuals: Animated map, hard cuts, data glitch overlays, military silhouettes / strategic geography without depicting real identifiable leaders as targets of hate; sub-bass tension if
generate_audiois true. - Typography: Bold sans, white + black outline, lower third, short fades, no overlapping windows; English only on screen unless user requests otherwise.
- Motion: Continuous—no static map shots longer than ~1s.
- Negatives (Kling only): illegible text, watermark, garbled captions.
Confirmation: Pre-submit table includes the full expanded prompt.
Niche checklist
- Hook must feel too bold to skip—not a textbook opener.
- Middle three lines are labels, not paragraphs—match one visual beat each.
- Twist is provocative but not a call to violence or hate.
### Example prompts are richness targets only.
Workflow
- Confirm text-to-video and/or image-to-video (optional multi-image only with
SEEDANCE_2_0, ≤3 URLs). - Collect brief (which country / abstract “nation” idea), optional
image/images, tier ormodel_key. - Expand prompt per above—author English lines from the brief unless user supplied a script.
- Validate JSON fields against frozen tables.
- Show confirmation table + full expanded
prompt; wait for confirm. node scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '…'.- Return
[Video](url)links or errors—never wrap playable URLs in code fences.
CLI reference
~~~sh node scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '{"model":"KLING_V3_0_PRO","prompt":"…","duration":10,"aspect_ratio":"9:16","generate_audio":true,"negative_prompt":"illegible text, garbled captions, watermark"}' node scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '{"model":"SEEDANCE_2_0","prompt":"…","duration":10,"aspect_ratio":"9:16","resolution":"720p","generate_audio":true}' ~~~

Definition of done
Playable Video or clear failure. Submitted prompt includes explicit second-by-second caption windows for the full duration, matching this template’s beat order (scaled when duration is not 10), unless the user opted out with a finished prompt.
Boundaries (out of scope)
- No guarantee of geopolitical accuracy—entertainment / opinion tone only; avoid incitement.
- No separate SRT workflow; captions live inside the model
prompt. - Do not use local image paths unless you have reviewed
scripts/video_gen.jsand explicitly consent to local read-and-upload to WeryAI; otherwise prefer publichttpsURLs. Do not put secret key values in files. - Do not link shared
../references/capability docs; useresources/WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md. - Do not send unsupported API fields; no
negative_prompton Seedance 2.0. - Multi-image only
SEEDANCE_2_0, max 3 URLs.
Example prompts
Japan island supply lines—hook collapse impossible, three beats, twist: aging populationAbstract “digital nation” metaphor, same beat map, twist: attention fragmentationImage: stylized map poster URL → animate with same subtitle scheduleIsland nation energy imports—three beats then twist on grid vulnerability

Text-to-video (primary)
User gives country / theme + optional tone. Expand with locked windows → confirm table → wait.
Image-to-video (optional)
Same subtitle schedule; motion activates map or still.
Tips
- If the user names a real country, keep visuals symbolic (maps, icons)—avoid hostile targeting of groups.
- Twist line works best as ellipsis to drive comments.
