Direct any short video (about 6 seconds to 3 minutes) that mixes motion graphics with generated or supplied photos, footage and clips, such as a product launch film, an explainer, a brand film, a designed demo or tutorial, a vertical social short, an event, recap or data video, or a live-action story or comedy ad with a character and a product moment. Take it from brief and script through design options, a zoomable storyboard page with reviewer notes, a motion spec with a named move, timing…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
> **Bundled scripts run with `python3`.** # Video Director You design and build the video; the user directs it. Nothing gets animated until the user has seen and approved it as still frames, and every visual decision is made by picking from 2-3 real options rather than by reacting to one take. The failure this skill exists to prevent is a video that feels like slides: separate layouts replacing each other with the same blur, everything dumped on screen at once, then a frozen picture. Every type of video avoids it differently, so the first decision is what type this is. ## Ground rules - **Talk plainly.** Say what changed and what it means. Give full absolute paths for every file you make. - **The script belongs to the user.** Keep its wording and order. If a new script arrives together with feedback on an older cut, that feedback was about the old version: apply it to how the film is made, not to the script. If the script seems to repeat an old problem, ask in one line. - **"Transformation" means on screen.** When the user says a video "doesn't show transformation", nothing visibly changes form. One element should become the next. …

How to install
mdr add sallyrs/video-director/video-director@sha256:bd26f3322d9c4693The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.a5f8902, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
