Video Poster Design

视频海报设计

Use this skill to create movie-poster-style key art for a video, short film, vlog, TVC, storyboard, or campaign.
The final output is a poster image. When useful, also create a short poster spec or prompt file so the design can be regenerated consistently.
使用此技能可为视频、短片、Vlog、TVC、分镜脚本或宣传活动创作电影海报风格的关键视觉图。
最终输出为海报图像。必要时,还可创建简短的海报规范或提示文件,以便一致地重新生成设计。

Image Generation Requirement

图像生成要求

Poster images must be generated by an image-generation model. Do not create poster artwork with code, SVG, HTML/CSS, canvas, diagrams, placeholder drawings, or deterministic shape scripts. Those methods may be used only for non-visual file operations or optional post-processing after the model-generated poster exists.
Use the built-in
image_gen
tool by default, or an approved project image-generation workflow when explicitly required. Save or copy the model-generated raster output to
posters/{poster-name}.png
. If the model output cannot be saved directly, locate the generated raster asset and move/copy it into the required path; do not recreate it programmatically.
海报图像必须由图像生成模型生成。不得使用代码、SVG、HTML/CSS、画布、示意图、占位图或确定性形状脚本创建海报 artwork。这些方法仅可用于非视觉文件操作,或在模型生成的海报完成后进行可选的后期处理。
默认使用内置的
image_gen
工具,或在明确要求时使用经批准的项目图像生成工作流。将模型生成的光栅输出保存或复制到
posters/{poster-name}.png
。若无法直接保存模型输出,请找到生成的光栅资源并将其移动/复制到指定路径;请勿通过编程方式重新创建。

Default Behavior

默认行为

If the user does not specify an aspect ratio, use
3:4
.
If the user asks for a poster but has not chosen a creative direction, propose
3-5
poster concepts first and ask them to choose one. Keep the options concise and visually distinct.
If the user already gives a clear direction, title, ratio, and story context, proceed directly to image generation.
如果用户未指定宽高比,则使用
3:4
如果用户要求制作海报但未选择创意方向,请先提出
3-5
个海报概念,让用户选择。选项需简洁且视觉风格鲜明。
如果用户已提供明确的方向、标题、比例和故事背景,则直接进行图像生成。

Output Location

输出位置

Use a project-local poster directory:
text
posters/
Recommended file names:
text
posters/{poster-name}.png
posters/{poster-name}.md
Use lowercase, hyphenated, ASCII-safe names. Examples:
  • posters/youth-unlimited.png
  • posters/meaning-of-travel-teaser.png
  • posters/campus-energy-key-art.md
Do not overwrite existing files unless the user explicitly requests replacement. For variants, use suffixes such as
-v2
,
-teaser
,
-main
,
-alt-a
.
使用项目本地的海报目录:
text
posters/
推荐文件名:
text
posters/{poster-name}.png
posters/{poster-name}.md
使用小写、连字符连接的ASCII安全名称。示例:
  • posters/youth-unlimited.png
  • posters/meaning-of-travel-teaser.png
  • posters/campus-energy-key-art.md
除非用户明确要求替换,否则请勿覆盖现有文件。如需变体,请使用
-v2
-teaser
-main
-alt-a
等后缀。

Inputs to Extract

需要提取的输入信息

Before designing, identify:
  • Poster title and subtitle.
  • Video/story context.
  • Genre: drama, travel, romance, documentary, commercial, thriller, coming-of-age, sports, etc.
  • Required aspect ratio. Default:
    3:4
    .
  • Main character(s), product, place, or object.
  • Character design images or approved reference assets.
  • Storyboard or scene images that define visual continuity.
  • Mood and emotional promise.
  • Setting, time period, weather, and culture.
  • Typography language: English, Chinese, bilingual, no text, etc.
  • Required copy: tagline, credits, release date, brand line, campaign line.
  • Output path if specified.
If the user does not specify text language, use the user's local language for any prompt/spec, and use poster typography that matches the title/campaign language.
设计前,请确定:
  • 海报标题和副标题。
  • 视频/故事背景。
  • 题材:剧情、旅行、爱情、纪录片、商业广告、惊悚、成长、体育等。
  • 要求的宽高比。默认值:
    3:4
  • 主要角色、产品、地点或物体。
  • 角色设计图像或经批准的参考资源。
  • 定义视觉连贯性的分镜脚本或场景图像。
  • 氛围和情感基调。
  • 场景、时代、天气和文化背景。
  • 排版语言:英文、中文、双语、无文字等。
  • 必填文案:标语、演职员表、上映日期、品牌口号、活动口号。
  • 指定的输出路径(如有)。
如果用户未指定文本语言,则使用用户的本地语言编写提示/规范,并使用与标题/活动语言匹配的海报排版。

Use Available Visual References

使用可用的视觉参考

Before generating any poster image, first look for existing character images in the current conversation/context, including character images generated earlier in the project. Then search the current project for corresponding character assets under
characters/
or
storyboard/
. If any relevant character image exists, it must be passed to the image-generation model as a reference image for poster generation.
Use these assets as references for poster generation when relevant:
  • characters/*.png
    character design sheets.
  • Other image files under
    characters/
    that correspond to the poster character.
  • Approved character
    .md
    specs.
  • storyboard/scene-XX.png
    images.
  • Existing poster drafts.
  • Product or brand assets provided by the user.
When a character design image exists in the current context or in
characters/
, feed it to the image generation model as a visual reference so the poster preserves character identity, hairstyle, wardrobe, body proportions, and material details. Do not rely on text description alone when a matching character image is available.
When a storyboard image exists, use it to preserve scene language, color palette, setting, and story mood.
生成任何海报图像前,请先在当前对话/背景中查找现有角色图像,包括项目早期生成的角色图像。然后在当前项目的
characters/
storyboard/
目录下搜索对应的角色资源。如果存在相关角色图像,必须将其作为参考图像传递给图像生成模型以生成海报。
相关时,使用以下资源作为海报生成的参考:
  • characters/*.png
    角色设计稿。
  • characters/
    目录下与海报角色对应的其他图像文件。
  • 经批准的角色
    .md
    规范文件。
  • storyboard/scene-XX.png
    图像。
  • 现有海报草稿。
  • 用户提供的产品或品牌资源。
当当前背景或
characters/
目录中存在角色设计图像时,将其作为视觉参考输入图像生成模型,确保海报保留角色身份、发型、服装、身材比例和材质细节。当有匹配的角色图像可用时,请勿仅依赖文字描述。
当存在分镜脚本图像时,使用它来保留场景语言、调色板、场景和故事氛围。

Typography Principles

排版原则

Poster typography must match the story, setting, genre, and background image. It should not feel like generic overlay text.
Choose type direction based on context:
  • Coming-of-age / campus: energetic but clean, slightly condensed sans serif, hand-painted or marker accent only if it feels natural.
  • Travel documentary: editorial serif or restrained humanist sans, generous spacing, quiet placement.
  • Romance: soft serif, handwritten accent, or understated title lockup depending on tone.
  • Sports / youth TVC: bold condensed sans, dynamic italic or kinetic stacked layout.
  • Thriller: severe condensed type, high contrast, restrained title placement.
  • Sci-fi: technical geometry, but avoid generic neon unless the setting supports it.
  • Period film: typography should reference the era without becoming costume-like.
  • Minimal arthouse: sparse type, strong negative space, carefully placed title.
Integrate typography with the image:
  • Let title placement interact with light, architecture, silhouette, product shape, or motion direction.
  • Keep text legible.
  • Avoid random fonts, fake credits, distorted letterforms, and unreadable generated text.
  • If exact typography matters, consider generating poster art with clean space for text, then add text using deterministic design tools or image editing.
海报排版必须与故事、场景、题材和背景图像匹配。不应给人一种通用叠加文字的感觉。
根据背景选择排版方向:
  • 成长/校园:充满活力但简洁,略窄的无衬线字体,仅在自然的情况下使用手绘或马克笔风格的装饰。
  • 旅行纪录片:刊物风格的衬线字体或克制的人文主义无衬线字体,间距宽松,放置位置低调。
  • 爱情:柔和的衬线字体、手写风格装饰,或根据基调选择低调的标题组合。
  • 体育/青年TVC:粗体窄无衬线字体,动态斜体或动感堆叠布局。
  • 惊悚:冷峻的窄字体,高对比度,标题放置克制。
  • 科幻:技术感几何字体,但除非场景支持,否则避免使用通用霓虹风格。
  • 年代片:排版应参考对应时代,但不应过于刻意模仿。
  • 极简艺术片:稀疏的文字,大量留白,标题位置精心设计。
将排版与图像融合:
  • 让标题位置与光线、建筑、轮廓、产品形状或动态方向互动。
  • 保持文字可读性。
  • 避免随机字体、虚假演职员表、变形字母和难以辨认的生成文字。
  • 如果精确排版很重要,可以考虑生成带有空白区域的海报艺术,然后使用确定性设计工具或图像编辑添加文字。

Workflow

工作流程

  1. Read relevant project context: plan, storyboard, character design, prior poster references, or user brief.
  2. Search the current conversation/context for existing character images, including images generated earlier in the project or attached by the user.
  3. Search the current project's
    characters/
    folder for corresponding character images, especially
    characters/*.png
    , character sheets, turnarounds, and approved references.
  4. If a relevant character image exists in either place, include it as a reference image when generating the poster. This is required for character consistency.
  5. Extract title, ratio, story, genre, main subject, visual references, and required text.
  6. If ratio is missing, set it to
    3:4
    .
  7. If the creative direction is not already clear, propose
    3-5
    concepts and ask the user to choose.
  8. After the user chooses, write a compact poster spec if helpful.
  9. Generate the poster image using the selected concept and all relevant references with an image-generation model/tool. Do not replace this with SVG, code drawing, canvas, HTML/CSS, or placeholder art.
  10. Save the image to
    posters/{poster-name}.png
    .
  11. Inspect the result if possible: ratio, composition, typography, character consistency, artifacts.
  12. If text rendering is poor and exact text matters, recommend or perform a second pass with deterministic text overlay when appropriate.
  13. Final response should include the saved path and render the image when supported.
  1. 阅读相关项目背景:方案、分镜脚本、角色设计、先前海报参考或用户简报。
  2. 在当前对话/背景中搜索现有角色图像,包括项目早期生成或用户附加的图像。
  3. 在当前项目的
    characters/
    文件夹中搜索对应的角色图像,尤其是
    characters/*.png
    、角色设计稿、多角度视图和经批准的参考资料。
  4. 如果任一位置存在相关角色图像,生成海报时将其作为参考图像。这是保证角色一致性的必要步骤。
  5. 提取标题、比例、故事、题材、主体、视觉参考和必填文案。
  6. 如果未指定比例,设置为
    3:4
  7. 如果创意方向不明确,提出
    3-5
    个概念并请用户选择。
  8. 用户选择后,如有帮助,编写简洁的海报规范。
  9. 使用选定的概念和所有相关参考资料,通过图像生成模型/工具生成海报图像。请勿用SVG、代码绘图、画布、HTML/CSS或占位图替代。
  10. 将图像保存到
    posters/{poster-name}.png
  11. 尽可能检查结果:比例、构图、排版、角色一致性、瑕疵。
  12. 如果文字渲染效果不佳且精确文字很重要,酌情建议或执行第二次确定性文字叠加处理。
  13. 最终回复应包含保存路径,并在支持时显示图像。
