video-by-reference

From the author

Make a fully code-generated animated video at the highest achievable visual and design quality (with an original synthesized soundtrack) whose look, sound, editing and pacing are learned from a reference video — in whatever style that reference uses (flat 2D, 3D/CG, anime, painterly, pixel art, hand-drawn, kinetic type, stop-motion feel…). Studies the reference frame-by-frame and by audio analysis, writes a measured style bible, derives an original story, picks a rendering approach that fits the style, builds a deterministic browser animation, renders it to MP4 with headless Chrome + ffmpeg, and QA-reviews it. Use this whenever the user shares a video/YouTube link or clip and wants an animation, short, trailer, teaser, explainer, mascot or character video "in the style of", "like this", "inspired by", or "with the vibe of" it — or asks you to study a video's art style, sound, camera, transitions or narrative and then make something similar — even if they never say "reference" or "skill".
