Summary

Drops the "about 60 seconds" default from the skill. The length now follows the theme's content, with no upper limit, and a length the user gives still wins.

Closes #30. Part of #16.

Changes

  • SKILL.md: the length default reads "decide from the theme's content; no upper limit. One mechanism: about 60 s (6-9 scenes); a theme with several steps or comparisons: a few minutes". New rule: do not cut the explanation to fit 60 s; for a film over 2 minutes, tell the user up front that rendering takes about 1-2 minutes per minute of video, and go on without asking.
  • README.md / README.ja.md (Usage): no upper limit on length, how the length is chosen, and the render time per minute (1-2 min, depends on cores, see MOTION_RENDER_PAGES).

The render time figure is from after #31: a 194 s film rendered in 324 s with 7 pages, a 57 s film in 35-67 s.

Check with a 3-minute video

A 194 s film on loop engineering (20 scenes, 73 sound effects) was made end to end following the new rule; results are on #30. One problem found there is out of scope here: Lyria returns at most about 3 minutes of BGM, so a longer film's music restarts with a hard cut (#32).

Test plan

  • Prettier on the changed files
  • End to end: the 194 s film above
  • CI
