About the skill

Dan Martell-Style Vertical Short Producer

Takes a topic/thesis and (if available) talking footage and produces a 1080×1920 / 30fps vertical short in the Dan Martell coaching aesthetic. Signature: real talking-head footage, a word-by-word karaoke caption backbone, measured punch-caps on the hitting words, a "fear → reframe → action" (CBT-lite) gain-dominant tone, and a fast-but-warm pace. Production is done via the Remotion StilViral composition with a "warm grammar override" — no new .tsx is written; the existing composition is tuned to a coach-like tone.

When to use it: When producing coaching + business/entrepreneurship content; when you want a reframe mechanic that turns an anxiety into a gain ("rejection is redirection"); when you want to build authority with verifiable specific numbers/cases ("$1,500", "97 noes"); when you need tweet-density, quotable, clip-friendly lines. It's not suitable for cold documentary, slow cinematic, or pure clickbait-hype (those are the documentary / cinematic / viral styles, respectively).

Output: A production package (Markdown) with a full second-by-second timestamped script, VO text, on-screen text (caption + punch-cap) cues, a shot list table, and an audio/music + ducking map. Once footage + captions.ts are prepared, the package can be turned directly into video with the StilViral render command. All punch and SFX timings are tied to the real captions; no fabricated beats are dropped.
