What it does
Turn one approved master still into a character's whole animated sprite set - one image-to-video clip per action (idle, walk, run, attack, jump, hurt, cast and so on), all from that still, generated through generate2dmedia route_media.py (the xAI API when a key is configured, else the local Grok CLI) - then gate each take, key it with a soft matte, register it to the master, pick loops or retime actions, finish (HD by default, pixel on request) and package fixed-canvas frames, alpha WebM, packed MP4 for iPhone and a PNG fallback with engine metadata and a JS runtime. Also processes a supplied clip. Use for character and creature animation, fluid motion and any video-to-sprite work. Not for FX, icon or prop sheets (generate2dsprite), maps or plate loops (generate2dmap), code-drawn animation (codeart2d, only on request) or calling a video API by itself (generate2dmedia).
Video to 2D Animation
An approved still sets identity and geometry, a video model supplies motion, and deterministic tools prepare it for the engine. Video is not promised to be smaller, seamless or cheaper than sheets.
Use when
- Animating a character or creature: every action comes from one approved master still, one clip per action.
- Fluid motion from an accepted master: idle breathing, walks, runs, attacks, casts, hair, capes, creatures.
- A supplied clip must become transparent, registered, looped frames and engine video.
Do not use when
- FX, icon or prop sheets: generate2dsprite.
- Water, fire or mist inside a still scene plate: generate2dmap. Only an API or CLI call: generate2dmedia.
- Code-drawn animation the user asked for: codeart2d.
Capability check (once per session)
Run python "<skill-dir>/../generate2dmedia/scripts/forge_doctor.py" --host-tools <tools> --save <output>/doctor.json, where <tools> lists the media tools in your own tool list (image_gen, image_edit, image_to_video) or none. Its ROUTES block shows which API keys are configured (yes or no), the local readiness and the resolved order. If encoding.stdout fails, set PYTHONUTF8=1. python "<skill-dir>/scripts/video2dsprite.py" doctor checks ffmpeg (5.1+, VP9 alpha round trip).
Art source
The master still comes from generate2dsprite (image generation, approved by the user) or from the user. Motion is image-to-video, one clip per action from that master; record the route as art_source and name it in your reply:
