# Content Type Recipes

Complete production recipes for creating demo videos across different OrchestKit content types. Each recipe provides exact timing, shot breakdowns, audio cues, text overlays, and transitions.

## Recipe Overview

| Content Type | Duration | Use Case |
|--------------|----------|----------|
| Skill Demo | 15-25s | Single skill showcase |
| Agent Demo | 20-30s | Parallel execution, multi-agent |
| Plugin Install | 10-15s | Quick impact, marketplace |
| Tutorial | 60-120s | Educational, step-by-step |
| Comparison | 20-40s | Before/after transformations |
| Feature Highlight | 10-20s | Single feature focus |

## Quick Reference

### Frame Rate & Resolution
- **Frame Rate**: 30fps (standard), 60fps (smooth typing)
- **Resolution**: 1920x1080 (YouTube), 1080x1920 (shorts)
- **Aspect Ratios**: 16:9 (horizontal), 9:16 (vertical), 1:1 (social)

### Timing Constants

```typescript
const TIMING = {
  TYPING_SPEED: 50,      // ms per character
  COMMAND_PAUSE: 500,    // ms after command typed
  RESULT_DELAY: 200,     // ms before showing result
  READ_TIME: 3000,       // ms for text comprehension
  TRANSITION: 300,       // ms for smooth transitions
};
```

### Audio Cues Library
- **Key Press**: Subtle mechanical keyboard sound
- **Command Execute**: Soft whoosh or confirmation tone
- **Success**: Bright chime (C major)
- **Error**: Low tone (for contrast demos)
- **Transition**: Subtle swoosh

## Recipe 1: Skill Demo (15-25 seconds)

**Purpose**: Showcase a single skill's capability in minimal time.

### Structure

```
[0:00-0:03] Hook - Problem statement
[0:03-0:08] Command - Type and execute
[0:08-0:18] Result - Show output with highlights
[0:18-0:22] Impact - Key benefit callout
[0:22-0:25] CTA - Next step or skill name
```

### Shot List

| Shot | Duration | Camera | Subject | Notes |
|------|----------|--------|---------|-------|
| 1 | 3s | Static | Terminal | Problem text overlay |
| 2 | 5s | Static | Terminal | Typing animation |
| 3 | 10s | Slow zoom | Output | Highlight key areas |
| 4 | 4s | Pull back | Full screen | Impact + CTA |
| 5 | 3s | Static | Skill badge | End card |

See `references/skill-demo-recipe.md` for detailed breakdown.

## Recipe 2: Agent Demo (20-30 seconds)

**Purpose**: Demonstrate multi-agent coordination and parallel execution.

### Structure

```

[0:22-0:27] Synthesis - Results combining
[0:27-0:30] Summary - Agent count and time saved
```

See `references/agent-demo-recipe.md` for detailed breakdown.

## Recipe 3: Plugin Install Demo (10-15 seconds)

**Purpose**: Quick impact showcase for marketplace listings.

### Structure

```
[0:00-0:02] Before State - Empty/manual
[0:02-0:06] Install Command - One line
[0:06-0:10] Transformation - Capabilities appear
[0:10-0:13] Available Now - Feature list flash
[0:13-0:15] Install CTA
```

See `references/plugin-demo-recipe.md` for detailed breakdown.

## Recipe 4: Tutorial/Walkthrough (60-120 seconds)
