## Integration with Other Skills

Product Video works with:
- **Creative Strategist** — Your style guide informs video aesthetic
- **Image Generation** — Generate key frames for video
- **Product Photography** — Product shots become video frames
- **Social Graphics** — Video stills become social assets

## Pro Tips

**Key Frames**: Generate key frames with Image Generation skill  
**Consistency**: Use same lighting and style as product photography  
**Pacing**: Match pacing to your brand personality  
**Music**: Consider music/sound design for full video  
**Platform**: Optimize for platform (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube)  
**Call-to-Action**: Include CTA at end of video  
**Testing**: Test different animation styles and pacing

## Common Pitfalls

**Jerky Animation** — Specify "smooth," "fluid," "professional animation"  
**Inconsistent Style** — Reference your Creative Strategist guide  
**Too Long** — Keep videos short for social media (5-15 seconds)  
**Unclear Message** — Make product benefit clear  
**Poor Lighting** — Lighting must be consistent throughout  
**Distracting Effects** — Effects should enhance, not distract
