Use when someone wants a photo to move like another video — motion transfer, dance remixes, or performance variations from a template clip.

The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Prerequisites

Install and load these skills before generating (skip if already in context via @pruna):

Skill	Description	Install
`generation-diversity`	Use when writing any generative prompt — ritual seed, explicit structure, scenario axes, and quality gates before paid API calls.	`npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@generation-diversity -y`
`video-prompting`	Use when crafting video or motion prompts for any generative model — dramaturgy, camera, physics-safe motion, frame anchors, and clip chaining.	`npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@video-prompting -y`
`pruna-api`	Use before any Pruna or Replicate HTTP call — credentials, upload/poll/download, parallel batches, and agent safety.	`npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@pruna-api -y`

Or install the full suite once: npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@pruna -y

Follow each skill's Before generating / craft sections — do not restate guide content here.

Agent habit

In the first reply, name `p-video-animate` in backticks, confirm PRUNA_API_KEY (or stop with signup links from pruna-api), then ask for required inputs. When drafting optional instruction_prompt, follow Prompt craft (dynamic + faithful) — do not paste skill examples. Redirect when When NOT to use fits better.

Prompt craft (dynamic + faithful)

Appearance comes from image; motion from video. Optional instruction_prompt is surgical — one concrete end beat or pose fix, not a new scene.

Do	Don't
Ritual seed before drafting; leave `instruction_prompt` blank when refs already align	Copy this skill's generic sample (`Animate the reference subject using the motion from the source video`) when the user named a specific beat
Lock the user's subject (from image) and motion source (from video); match framing/pose to the template's first frame	Invent a different performance or swap the subject
When needed, one concrete `instruction_prompt` beat (`hold landing pose on final frame`, `match arm raise at 0:03`)	Mood-only rewrites or vague `make it dance better`
Show `instruction_prompt` (if any) before `POST` when not locked	Silent regen that changes identity or ignores the template motion

Fidelity check (before pay): still the user's still + template video. Repose with p-image-edit when close but not exact — do not compensate with a vague prompt.

Skill boundary

	p-video-animate (this skill)	p-video-replace
User question	Animate this picture with some motion?	Replace this person in this video?
Inputs	One `image` + motion-template `video`	Source `video` + `images` (1–4)
Job	Still performs using copied motion	People/props in footage swapped for refs

Use p-video-replace for in-place identity swap. Use this skill for motion-transfer showcases and persona variants.

When NOT to use

Use a different skill instead:

Skill	Description	Install
`p-image-edit`	Use when someone wants to edit an existing photo — change outfits or backgrounds, compose from reference images, or apply prompt-driven edits.	`npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-image-edit -y`
`p-video-replace`	Use when someone wants to swap a person, outfit, or product inside existing footage while keeping the camera move and audio.	`npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-video-replace -y`
`p-video-avatar`	Use when someone wants a person on camera speaking a script — lip-synced host, spokesperson, or narrated avatar from a portrait photo.	`npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-video-avatar -y`

Upload source assets

curl -X POST "https://api.pruna.ai/v1/files" \

curl -X POST "https://api.pruna.ai/v1/files" \

Poll and download: follow pruna-api. Output duration follows the source video.

Complete the random seed ritual from generation-diversity before writing prompts.

Before generating

Complete Prerequisites guide reading order (generation-diversity → video-prompting).
Ritual seed → draft optional dynamic + faithful instruction_prompt (section above) → confirm video (motion/audio source), image (subject), resolution, target_fps, and instruction_prompt.
Pruna notes: appearance from image, motion from video. Match framing/pose/limb visibility to the template’s first frame; repose with p-image-edit when close but not exact. Leave instruction_prompt blank unless you need one concrete end beat. Runware map: referenceImages[0] → image, referenceVideos[0] → video, positivePrompt → instruction_prompt, settings.preserveAudio → save_audio.

Required input

video (string URL): source RGB .mp4
image (string URL): reference subject to animate

Common optional fields

resolution: 720p (default) or 1080p
target_fps: original (default), 24, or 48
instruction_prompt (string)
save_audio (boolean, default true)
seed, disable_safety_checker
