This skill generates videos from text prompts using external APIs and local tools with scripts like generate_video.py and images_to_video.py. It reads OPENAI_API_KEY, REPLICATE_API_TOKEN, LUMAAI_API_KEY, calls https://api.lumalabs.ai/dream-machine/v1/generations, and runs ffmpeg via subprocess.run.
