- Share the image set, target duration, and workspace delivery format requirements.
- Run `frames_to_video` through `short-film-maker` to assemble the sequence.
- Ask Copilot to produce a delivery note with: frame count, total duration, transition type, audio, and review status.
- Add the clip and delivery note to your production workspace.
Example Prompt
Try this with Copilot using the Short Film Maker tool
Use short-film-maker with frames_to_video to assemble these 12 storyboard frames into a 30-second animatic with clean cuts and ambient thriller music. Return a delivery note in this format: Frame Count, Duration, Transition Type, Audio, Review Status.
Tips
- Use a fixed delivery note format across all frame-assembly jobs so the production log stays consistent.
- Ask Copilot to flag out-of-order or mismatched frames before assembly rather than after.
- Specify the review status field in the delivery note so team members know the asset is not yet approved.
