wtf is lyric-video-director?

Lyric Video Director is a skill for Hermes Agent, an AI agent framework, that automates the process of turning a song, its exact lyrics, and rough timing of each line into a stylized lyric video where the words themselves are the visual star of the show. The workflow treats the lyric text as the main character on screen. First, an AI image tool called GPT Image 2 designs typography focused compositions, meaning scenes built around how the words look and move rather than live action footage. Then a video tool called Gemini Omni Flash takes those still designs and animates them into motion. Throughout the process, automated checks make sure the text that appears on screen exactly matches the real lyrics, and that the original song audio is never altered or replaced. Before committing to full video generation, the skill builds a visual style guide and short test sequences, since generating final videos in bulk is expensive and mistakes are costly to redo. It can also handle instrumental sections with no lyrics by creating a wordless visual narrative that still flows naturally from one scene to the next. Once everything is generated, FFmpeg, a well known open source video and audio tool, assembles the final video and layers it back over the original, untouched master recording of the song. A final round of checks covers technical quality, whether the on screen text is accurate, whether it matches the music, and whether the creative style stays consistent throughout. To use it, you copy or clone the project into a specific skills folder inside your Hermes Agent profile, after which Hermes can discover and use it automatically. It expects Python 3, the ffmpeg and ffprobe command line tools, and access to the GPT Image 2 and Gemini Omni Flash generation tools, with an optional extra tool for deeper audio analysis. It is written in Python and released under the MIT license.
