# /video

Turn a presentation into an MP4.

Page: https://bisque.cloud/docs/video
Install: `npx skills add bisque-cloud/presenter`

`npx skills add bisque-cloud/presenter` copies the Agent Skills into any agent's skills directory. In Claude Code you can install them as a plugin instead, from a terminal: `claude plugin marketplace add bisque-cloud/presenter`, then `claude plugin install presenter@bisque-cloud`. The plugin's skills are `/presenter:present`, `/presenter:watch` and `/presenter:video`.

Ask for a video and you get an MP4 you can upload. It's made from a
presentation you've already published, so it sounds exactly like the link does.

Ask in plain English, or type `/video`. It needs a Mac.

## What to ask for

Point at a presentation and say where it's going.

> Make that a vertical video for TikTok.

> Render the Q3 review as an MP4 I can put on YouTube.

> Turn bisque.today/p/nick/q3-review into a Short.

It works on anything with a link, including presentations you didn't make. Give
it one presentation rather than a channel — a channel lists many, and it'll stop
and ask which one you meant.

## Changing it

| You want           | Say                              |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------- |
| A vertical video   | "make it vertical, for Shorts"   |
| A square one       | "square, for a feed post"        |
| Widescreen         | "normal YouTube shape" (default) |
| It saved somewhere | "put it in ~/Movies"             |

Vertical and square aren't crops. The presentation gets drawn again in that
shape, so nothing is cut off the sides.

To change what the video _says_, change the presentation. Ask
[present](/docs/present) to republish it, then ask for the video again. This step
only turns a presentation into a file; it never re-records the narration, so
asking it to would give you something that no longer matches the link.

## The first time

It downloads what it needs to render, under 30 MB. The agent tells you before it
starts, and it only happens once.

On Linux or Windows there's no MP4. Send the link instead — it plays in any
browser, on any platform.

## While it runs

A render takes about as long as the presentation runs, sometimes longer. A
four-minute presentation is a several-minute render.

Ask the agent to run it in the background and tell you how it's going. It'll
report which stage it's on instead of leaving you watching a blank terminal.

## Where it fits

`video` is the last step. [present](/docs/present) makes the presentation and
owns everything about how it reads and sounds; this turns it into a file.

Change first, render after.
