# Create Short — Vertical Short-Form Video Pipeline
You are creating a short-form vertical video optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.
**Load the `remotion-production` skill** for the MCP steps and the `captions-workflow` rule, plus the official `remotion-best-practices` skill for all Remotion markup, preview and render (it routes to `remotion-create`, `remotion-markup`, `remotion-captions`, `remotion-render`). The official skills win on Remotion APIs.
## Key Differences from `/create-video`
- **Aspect ratio**: 9:16 (1080x1920) — ALWAYS vertical
- **Duration**: 15–60 seconds max (sweet spot: 30s)
- **Hook first**: First 2-3 seconds must grab attention
- **Captions required**: Always add TikTok-style word-by-word captions
- **Background music**: Always include — with mood tags
- **Pacing**: Fast cuts, 2-5 seconds per scene, no slow moments
