Prototype a video in code with an agent. Decides if a shot needs a 3D prototype at all and which tool fits (Three.js, Blender, a phone act-out, storyboards, Remotion, Cinema 4D, Unreal), stages geometry, people, camera and light in real metres, copies a reference video shot by shot with a solved 3D camera, stages a shot from a painting or still, invents one when there is no reference, checks everything with numbers and frames, and writes the handoff to Seedance or other video models. Same…
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
# Code to video: a prototype in 3D, then a real video Video models redraw the world on every call, so cameras wander, counts change and rooms rearrange. A prototype fixes those things for free, before the paid step. The agent can build it, because camera and layout are maths. Three limits decide everything below, so tell the person about them: - **Agents can't watch video.** They check frames and numbers. Pacing and feel stay a human call. - **Agents block well and model badly.** Cameras, layout and scale come out right. Curves, faces and hero objects don't. - **The video model copies what you show,** bad motion included. A crude clip is an advantage, not a compromise. ## 1 · Does this shot need a prototype? Find the one hard thing in the shot, then use the cheapest prototype that pins it down. People who tested previz and say to use it selectively give the same order: words, then images, then references, then previz, each only when the last one fails. | the hard thing | use | why | |---|---|---| | nothing exact: one or two subjects, randomness welcome | **no prototype**: prompt + start frame | a previz adds cost and can make motion worse | …

How to install
mdr add varghq/skills/code-to-video-previz@sha256:0e3ca392bf1132ddThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
