# Cover Marquee Reel

> A beat-cut catalogue reel for a press, a label, a magazine or a portfolio, with its own original soundtrack. Rows of covers scroll as marquees in alternating directions on a tilted wall in 3D perspective, speeding into the beat. On each beat one cover pulls out of the wall, leaving its slot dark, and turns over past its spine to a printed back with title, author and a one-line hook or a star rating. On the drop the camera pushes through the wall and a "New this month" or "Bestsellers" band slams in, and the imprint's mark, name and button land on the final hit. Use your own cover images or let it design typographic covers in six layouts.

- Output: Video, MP4 · 12–22 s · 1080×1920, 1080×1080 or 1920×1080
- Price: $4.99 one-time, or included in Pro
- Page: https://lookbk.dev/skills/cover-marquee-reel

## What you need

- Node.js 22 or newer and FFmpeg (with `ffprobe`) on the PATH. FFmpeg also checks and muxes the music.
- HyperFrames runs through `npx`, pinned: `npx --yes hyperframes@0.8.192`. The first render downloads a headless Chrome. If `render` says Chrome is missing, run `npx --yes hyperframes@0.8.192 browser ensure` once.
- Network access to `fonts.googleapis.com` (Archivo, Barlow Condensed, Fraunces, JetBrains Mono) and `cdn.jsdelivr.net` (GSAP). See Troubleshooting if either is blocked.

## Install

```bash
curl -fsSL https://lookbk.dev/cli.js | node - add cover-marquee-reel
```

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/cover-marquee-reel` only, the one folder Claude Code reads.
- From your own terminal: `~/.agents/skills/cover-marquee-reel`, which Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, Cursor and OpenCode read, and also `~/.claude/skills/cover-marquee-reel` 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.
