How do I avoid unexpected API costs?

The skill includes a --dry-run flag for cost estimation and requires the --confirm-cost flag for any 'Standard' mode operations which are more expensive than 'Fast' mode.

What is the maximum video length I can create?

You can generate base clips up to 8 seconds and extend them in 7-second increments up to a total of 148 seconds.

Does this skill require an external API key?

Yes, it requires a valid GOOGLE_API_KEY to be configured in your ~/.claude/.env file to access the Veo 3.1 API.

Can I use my own images as a reference?

Yes, you can provide up to 3 reference images using the --reference-image flag to guide the visual style and content of the generated video.
