Picsart

edit-on-your-computer

Edit footage on the user's own computer - proxies uploaded instead of the originals, a project folder, and a full-resolution conform with ffmpeg. Use only when the footage is a folder on this machine and you can run commands.

edit-pipeline

Run an edit of the user's footage as fixed stages, with a project record (standing decisions, approvals, the pace, a locked meaning map, every version), resume from the first stage not done, and the gate rules every check follows. Use when a use case cuts footage in stages, resum

face-hiding

Hide the faces in a video or photo by blurring or pixelating them. A face-masked gaussian_blur or pixelate follows every face frame by frame and leaves the rest of the picture sharp. Use when asked to hide, blur, pixelate, censor, anonymize or cover someone's face, to blur faces

figma-storyboard-animation

Turn a Figma storyboard of static frames into an animated scene — read the frame tree, recover the motion the designer already encoded, then build scene by scene, agreeing each transition before moving on; or build a single frame as a still scene. Use when converting a Figma desi

film-animatic

Draft a film or drama episode as a voiced storyboard animatic before any video is bought - a still per shot, app screens built as scenes, every line voiced at its shot's time, cut with captions and watched until the user says yes. Use when a film's story and shots are worked on s

film-cast-design

Make a film's people, props and places consistent on pictures - line-keyed descriptors, one sheet per person and one plate per prop compiled by the server, reading an asset review, cutting each panel into its own view, locking the approved asset, and the user's own photos kept as

film-cutting

Cut a film's accepted takes into one scene - every generation one clip as generated, never split or trimmed, the montage bootstrap with hard cuts, separate dialogue and ambience, cleanup of named glitches, and diagnosing a bad join before choosing the smallest repair. Use when a

film-finishing

Finish a film after picture lock - the draft takes finished to full quality, colour matched and graded from the scene tools' looks, the soundtrack (the takes' own voices, an ambience or music bed), QC, masters, the archive and the AI disclosure. Use when a film's cut is final and

film-shot-generation

Shoot a film's shots as runs - narrowing the video models a film can use, packing shot cards into multi-shot generations, drafting key frames before footage is bought, compiling and verifying every prompt on the server, following the jobs, and routing notes to an edit, an extend

film-story-writing

Write a short film's story and break it down - pre-setting the look from the idea, the ten-line story and every scene as what the viewer sees and hears, dialogue that performs action, one light per scene with its dark side and a colour kept back, and the shot cards and asset tags

footage-analysis

Watch the user's own talking footage and turn it into facts you can build on - its moments worth keeping, who is on screen, and a transcript whose sentences set every cut - read every source at once and follow the job receipts. Use when a use case needs to know what happens in an

footage-reframing

Put the user's own footage in a frame of another shape - landscape to a vertical reel, say - with the camera on the right person - measured once per source, checked and corrected by hand where the tool fails (a subject cut off, the wrong speaker, a late or jittery camera), then c

generate-media

Make an image, a video, a voice line, a sound or a song from a prompt, or edit a picture or product photo - remove or replace its background, enhance or upscale it, or turn it into a vector - with a model that fits, its settings checked and its price quoted before anything is cha

get-started

Get started with Picsart Video - check that your Picsart account is connected and how many credits you have, open Picsart beside the conversation where the host can, and see what you can make and edit. Use when the user has just installed Picsart or Picsart Video, asks to set it

large-scene-assembly

Build large editable scenes by decomposing a timeline into bounded scenes and reusable components, defining timing and asset contracts, then assembling and safely consolidating them. Use when authoring long videos, many scenes or layers, scene-by-scene designs, oversized JSON, fr

linked-element-motion

Keep related scene elements aligned and moving together, including container resizing, shared fades, content reveals and sibling reflow. Use when labels detach, companions fade separately, panels fail to grow, content overflows, or an outside object must join a template at a part

make-character

Make one AI character with no film - a person or an animal drawn as one photoreal reference sheet, the canvas's strip (full-body front, side and back, and a large face close-up, in one row), its look picked from Picsart's ready-made characters, a person and an outfit, or the user

make-comics

Turn a photo into a ComicMe creation - a comic book of drawn pages, an illustrated tale, an animated video, a motion episode, a short reel, a narrated quote video or an anime series from several photos - with the person in the photo as its hero, a second person from a second phot

make-screen-videos

Turn a screen recording of an app or site into videos - standalone how-to shorts for Reels, TikTok or Shorts each teaching one easy thing, a feature explainer, a promo with each request typed over its result, a long session's timelapse, or a step-by-step 16:9 tutorial with chapte

make-short-drama

Make a vertical drama series, pilot or episode with a recurring cast. Use for a short drama, a story reel, microdrama, web series or its next episode. Not for a one-off film (movie-producer).

motion-design-craft

The craft of adding motion to any scene, whatever the video — an ad or reel, a promo, a tutorial or walkthrough, an explainer, an intro, outro or title card, or one beat inside a longer edit — motion chosen per element by its role, smart-animate and morphs between frames, transit

motion-intent

Choose and diagnose scene motion from communication intent before selecting presets or keyframes. Use when a user says “make this motion feel…”, asks to choreograph a scene, choose timing/easing/stagger, establish motion hierarchy, or explain why an animation feels flat, noisy, r

motion-pattern-library

Worked scene motion patterns for entrances, exits, stagger, directional nudges, emphasis, ambient life, springs, arcs, layered beats, parenting, parallax, focus, wipes, drawn strokes, and cartoon fast motion (smears, multiples, speed lines). Use when the motion intent is known an

motion-review

Review an existing scene for motion that is confusing, mistimed, distracting, broken at a seam, or unnecessarily expensive. Use when asked to critique or improve a finished animation, audit a multi-beat scene, prioritize motion fixes, or decide whether a static element should mov

motion-scene-continuity

Plan and diagnose continuity across scene beats and scene boundaries—semantic handoffs, dominant direction, shared visual carriers, causal action/reaction, intentional resets, and seam verification. Use when consecutive scenes feel like separate slides, a transition breaks moment

motion-tracking-from-video

Measure what objects visibly do in a video - where each one moves, turns and grows, frame by frame - with picsart_media_track_motion, and turn the measurement into scene keyframes; then measure your own render the same way and compare the two with picsart_media_track_motion_diff.

movie-producer

Make a short narrative film from a story - several scenes, recurring characters, one locked look - staged and approved step by step, drafted as an animatic before video. Use when the user wants a short film, a movie or a multi-scene story ("I have a script"), or carries on a film

open-picsart-app

Open Picsart beside the conversation - the user's recent files, their Picsart Drive, the AI tools, and where to start a film or a motion design video - on a yes to one closed question. Use when a use case offers to open Picsart, such as during setup.

photo-slideshow

Build a photo promo or slideshow in a scene — probe the photos, sequence them as a track of clips with transitions, fill off-aspect photos with a blurred copy, add an animated title that stays readable over any photo, choose a font, and verify with a sweep of full-resolution fram

picsart-add-media

Bring the user's own clips, photos or audio into Picsart as hosted URLs, through the gen-ai MCP's upload widget or, where a shell can read the file, a direct upload. Use when a Picsart tool needs a URL and the media is on the user's machine or in a chat attachment.

picsart-video-rules

The rules every Picsart Video use case follows - how to talk to the user and ask, the five interactions (ASK, REVIEW, SHOW, SPEND, DELIVER), credit consent, asset URLs, when to preview and when to export, and the evaluation budget. Read it first, before any step of a use case.

quality-review

Check work before the user sees it - a scene validated, linted and looked at in contact-sheet frames, then fixed and checked again; a draft watched cold by model viewers against its viewer track, then reviewed by critics; the brief graded; an export checked against its scene. Use

quick-merge-and-export

The shortest path from media URLs to a rendered file - merge or concatenate several videos into one with the montage template, sample frames from a scene into a contact sheet, and export any valid scene to a file. Use when asked to merge, join or concatenate clips, to preview a s

realistic-color-grade

Make a video's colours look more realistic and natural with the ai_realism look — take the over-processed, plastic, AI-generated look off footage with a gentle grade, a shine correction on skin and light colour grain, and choose its values per video. Use when asked to make video

recast

Put the user's own characters, people or things into a video of theirs with Recast - each picture replaces one person or thing in the video, and the motion, the place and the sound stay as filmed - on a board that checks the video, offers each video model with its price and makes

recreate-video

Rebuild a reference video as an editable animated scene that moves and looks like it - the same layout, the same timing, the same motion - measured from the video rather than eyeballed, with the user's own photos and text in place of the original's. Use when the user brings a vid

reel-structure

Read a reference reel's structure and format, never its content - its beats, shots, caption pattern, pace and bed into a structure sheet (or parse a written breakdown for free), its layout, captions, hook and end card into the record's format, with what the footage can match; fit

reference-fragment-matching

Rebuild a reference video as a scene one fragment at a time - split the reference into spans where one arrangement holds, take a census of each, measure every beat, build it, then check it against the reference on motion and on appearance until it matches - and join the fragments

resting-frame-rules

Keep every element whole or gone whenever motion stops - when an animation finishes, when an element appears without moving, and on the last frame, each photo, card or title sits fully inside its frame or fully outside it, never cut by the edge. How to build entrances, exits, scr

retention-hooks

Keep a short video watched to the end with open loops - a hook that opens a question in the first seconds, an intensifier, a rehook at the middle and a payoff that closes them, whether the lines come from the user's footage or are written for a voice or the screen. Use when order

scene-3d-authoring

Build a 3D scene (a composition whose space is 3d) — models, camera, lighting presets, floor, groups and parenting, model parameters, 3D motion presets (drop_in, fly_in_arc, snap_settle, bounce, idle_bob, wiggle, turntable; camera orbit, dolly, push_in, crane, whip_pan) — then re

scene-animation-reference

How a scene expresses motion — preset catalogs, layer animations and transform stacks, easing and spatial tangents, Lua expressions, shared path phase, text on a curved or closed path, named actions mixed on a placed scene, depth and the composition camera (2.5D, cards that flip

scene-building-basics

Build and edit a scene with the scene tools - declaring media, audio and fonts as assets, layer trims, audio layers and transitions, reading the schema once before patching. Use whenever a use case composes or changes a scene document.

scene-template-remix

Select, reuse and customize scene catalog items. Use when remixing scene templates, looks, motion presets, text animations, transitions, effects or caption decorations, replacing placeholder content with media, or joining an outside object to a template.

screen-recording-analysis

Read a screen recording from its pixels - its shape, cuts and sound, when and where the screen changes, how long the waits are, the steps with their results, every action of a click-through with scripts/actions.py, the stages of a long working session, the shots of an already edi

screen-recording-layouts

Lay a screen recording out in a 1080x1920 vertical frame or a 1920x1080 landscape one - the layout catalog (full frame, prompt over result, head and screen, screen with head bubble, results grid), recording panels, whether a moment's UI will read in its panel, and each destinatio

screen-recording-zoom

The house zoom for screen footage in a panel - its scale, ramp and timing as scene keyframes, focus clamping, the readability rule, and a planner that decides which clicks of a long recording get a push. Use when timing and keyframing zooms on a screen recording shown in a panel.

screen-ui-redesign

Recreate the screens of a recording as designed motion UI - the app's own screens, layout, colours and words, redrawn larger and cleaner for 9:16 and built only from what the recording shows. Use when screen footage will not read at the destination, or when the UI is only the mea

sd2-pe

Use only for a Seedance 2.0 model (model ids seedance-2.0*): optimizes user prompts for Seedance 2.0 multi-modal video generation. Not for any other video model, such as Kling, Veo, Wan or Seedance 2.5.

sd25-pe

Use only for a Seedance 2.5 model (model ids seedance-2.5*): optimizes text, stories, or optional multimodal references for Seedance 2.5 text-to-video, multi-reference generation, keyframes, storyboards, blockouts, video editing, audio editing, or extension. Not for any other vid

speech-aware-cutting

Choose the moments of talking footage worth keeping and cut them so no one is clipped mid-sentence - the transcript sets every in and out, the watch picks what is worth it - then read the cut as the viewer will hear it with scripts/review_cuts.py, which flags chopped words, fille

spoken-captions

Put spoken words on screen from the transcript - word-timed captions on a generated voice-over or on the user's own talking footage, and on a cut reel, captions per clip and a few highlight phrases timed to the words they call out, placed with scripts/reel_text.py. Use when a vid

style-guide-builder

Build a reusable visual style guide from reference images - how the style renders what the references show and what they never show - as markdown files other skills read. Use when the user has reference images or screenshots and wants new images or video to match their look.

video-prompt-engineer

Write, improve or repair prompts for AI video generation - commercial, live action and animation - and trace defects in generated clips (extra limbs, warping, drift, unwanted text) to the clause that was missing. Use when the user wants a video prompt written or reviewed, a clip

visual-style

A video's style, chosen by eye and kept - eight named styles as colour roles and text entrances, a brand's colours mapped onto one, the defaults that make a video look machine-made, and a check that a built scene keeps to its style. Use when choosing or applying the look of a bui

voice-over-generation

Generate a voice-over from written lines - one voice line per script line in one voice, as one batch, the words alone with pace and energy in the model's own fields, names spelled as they sound, and every line's real length probed before anything is timed to it. Use when a video
