# Cinema Deck

> Slides set over looping films: a letterbox title card, chapter cards, big numbers along the bottom, a half-film split, a reel of three playing clips, a quote set like a subtitle and end credits. Your agent builds it from your notes and clips, checks every line of text against real frames of the footage, and exports a PowerPoint file in which the videos start on their own and loop.

- Output: Slides, HTML deck with films + PDF + PPTX with playing video · 6–16 slides
- Price: $4.99 one-time, or included in Pro
- Page: https://lookbk.dev/skills/cinema-deck

## What you need

- Node.js 18 or newer.
- **ffmpeg** and **ffprobe** on PATH (macOS `brew install ffmpeg`, Debian/Ubuntu `sudo apt install ffmpeg`, Windows `winget install ffmpeg`), or set `FFMPEG_PATH` and `FFPROBE_PATH`. The build uses them to re-encode films and cut posters.
- Chrome, Chromium or Edge installed, for the checks, the PDF and the PPTX. Set `CHROME_PATH` if the scripts don't find it.
- For the PPTX only: `npm i pptxgenjs@4.0.1` in the folder you run the export from.
- Internet access when the deck is opened, checked or exported, for the Google Fonts stylesheet.
- The films: clips (`.mp4`, `.mov`, `.m4v`, `.webm`) or stills (`.jpg`, `.png`, `.webp`) next to `deck.json`. A still drifts slowly in the browser, like a camera move.

## Install

```bash
curl -fsSL https://lookbk.dev/cli.js | node - add cinema-deck
```

The first run prints a sign-in link; open it, approve, and run the command again. Pro skills install for accounts that bought them or have Pro.

Where it installs:

- Run by Claude Code: `~/.claude/skills/cinema-deck` only, the one folder Claude Code reads.
- From your own terminal: `~/.agents/skills/cinema-deck`, which Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, Cursor and OpenCode read, and also `~/.claude/skills/cinema-deck` when `~/.claude` exists.

Add `--claude` or `--shared` to write only one of those folders, or `--project` to install into the current folder instead. Start a new agent session afterwards so it picks up the skill.
