Template gallery · scrollmark/social-skills
A template here is two halves that already exist in the skills repo: a format decides the shape — how many scenes, what frame, whether anyone speaks — and a style preset decides the look. Pick one of each and the pairing is a storyboard the engine can build. The pairings below are the ones worth starting from; every other combination is one line of a command away.
21 pairings
Each preview paints the style's own colours and sets its type at the preset's own scale: a title that fills a frame fills this one. Captions are outlined rather than boxed, which is what a renderer draws — and floored at a readable size, because a caption is about 3% of a frame's height and 3% of a thumbnail is a smudge.

Five of these previews are our own stills, made for the templates they
sit under and marked OWN in the data — the weekend one
carries a scrim, because a vermilion title cannot be read against a
neon street without one. The rest are public-domain photographs from
Openverse, all CC0 — no notice is
required, and they are credited anyway:

The footage in a real render is yours; these stand in for it.
Two halves
Every hex value above is copied from scrollmark/social-skills rather than chosen here — a preset with no caption colour is an error, not a default. A preview is still a preview: it stands the colours next to each other at a card's size, where a render puts the type over footage. 11 formats and 29 presets ship, which is 319 pairings before anyone writes a new one; a project can add its own of either, and they take precedence over the ones that ship.
The shape
How many scenes, what each is for, what to ask before planning one, and what the format refuses to do. Two videos in the same format can look nothing alike.
video-studio formats --list --aspect 9:16The look
Caption colour, outline, size and placement, plus the card roles a storyboard names. Lift one out of a video you liked, then apply it to the next.
