Pour two to four measured ingredients through a glassware scene with an explicit volume ledger. Each ingredient has a stored volume. Two staggered transfer curves divide that volume among its source vessel, the visible stream and the receiving glass. Layer heights follow received amounts; changing the recipe changes both the liquid geometry and the conservation ledger. Optional new sound can be quoted through PopNow; the procedural artwork renders locally.

What you get

  1. A local 20-second H.264 MP4 export and native wide/portrait projects.

  2. Editable scene source, JSON controls and mechanism tests.

  3. A decoded poster, eight-frame contact sheet, portable HTML playback project and render receipt.

Good for

  • Make a quiet drink-ratio reveal, a measured color blend or a recipe introduction where the quantities matter
  • The warm glassware, ingredient labels and sequential pours are authored locally

Not for

  • Illustrated volume transfers, not computational fluid dynamics or a validated food recipe.
  • The supplied scene uses layered colors and linear fill-height calibration; it does not simulate mixing chemistry.

How it works

Includes a local renderer

  1. Set the inputs

    Prepare ingredient labels, milliliter amounts and colors. No photograph, account or paid generation is needed for the supplied scene.

  2. Build the composition

    Validate the project, then render its native wide or portrait composition locally.

  3. Review and finish

    Watch the full MP4 and contact sheet. Add owned or approved audio only if wanted.

How the workflow runs

How Measured Recipe Film works

Each ingredient has a stored volume. Two staggered transfer curves divide that volume among its source vessel, the visible stream and the receiving glass. Layer heights follow received amounts; changing the recipe changes both the liquid geometry and the conservation ledger.

What's inside the skill

What you can change

  • Edit 2–4 labeled ingredient volumes and colors.
  • capacityMl changes fill calibration and rejects overfull recipes.
  • glassWidth changes the receiving vessel geometry.

What to review before delivery

  • The test samples the entire timeline and verifies source + in-flight + received equals the input total.
  • Capacity and glass-width changes must alter actual SVG geometry; an overfull recipe is rejected.

Why use this skill

Start with this package

The vessel layout, transfer timing and quantity ledger are already connected. Compared with asking for a drink animation, a changed recipe can be traced through the source, stream and receiving layers instead of becoming an approximate decorative pour.

What PopNow adds

Use PopNow for the missing Music & voice in this workflow. Keep adequate material you already own, then bring new assets back into the editing and assembly steps described here.

Compare the options

A prompt, your own skill, or this workflow?

Start with a prompt

Your agent can create from a plain request. The brief, visual rules, asset choices, output format and review process still need to be established for that project.

Write your own skill

You choose and maintain the reusable instructions, defaults, file structure and checks. This is useful when your process needs different rules or integrations.

A workflow created for PopNow

This workflow was built for PopNow. Its source files, included dependencies and applicable notices are part of the package; the scope described below belongs to this edition.

What will this cost?

The supplied geometry renders locally. New music, ambience or narration is optional and quoted through PopNow; adequate owned audio can be mixed afterward. Computer and Agent costs depend on your setup.

Generation is optional when you have suitable input material. Free skill. New media is quoted before it runs.

The skill package

Free to install under your account's download allowance. The package license covers your own and client work; redistribution is excluded.

Existing assets and local work

Reusing suitable assets, editing files and running local assembly do not call a PopNow generation model. Your computer and any required runtime still do the work.

New AI images, clips or sound

Quoted for the actual model, inputs, count, duration and resolution. Extra alternatives, revisions or optional enhancement passes can add generation requests.

Your agent and hosting

Any subscription, hosted computer, deployment or other provider fee belongs to that service. Installing this skill does not include those services.

Check the cost of your version first

Your assistant can inspect the available models and quote the exact request first. You choose which optional passes to include and approve spending before generation.

Ask your assistant

  • Use the PopNow skill "Measured Recipe Film" for my project. List the inputs you can reuse, quote only the missing media, show the quoted total and flag any unpriced steps. Separate optional enhancements, and wait for my approval before starting anything paid.

How PopNow billing works

Connections using a PopNow API key, including API-key MCP connections, spend from the separate API balance in USD. A ChatGPT or Claude connection authorized through OAuth spends website credits. These balances are separate; the quote shown by your connection is the approval basis.

Download allowances and current account conditions apply. A free package does not mean unlimited free generation.

How to use it

You say

  • Use the PopNow skill "Measured Recipe Film" (measured-recipe-film) for this: Make the included 20-second scene, then show a version with one structural control changed. Keep the model limits clear and quote any optional new sound first.

Then try

  • Two to four ingredients, each with a 1–14 letter label, 15–180 ml and a #RRGGBB color.

  • Keep all source vessels visible before the first pour.

What to have ready

  • Prepare ingredient labels, milliliter amounts and colors. No photograph, account or paid generation is needed for the supplied scene.
  • Node 22.12+, Chrome or Chromium, FFmpeg and ffprobe.
  • The new film examples use ASCII text. Accents and other scripts need a suitable font plus input and layout adjustments.

Questions

Does changing the recipe change the actual pour?

Yes. Ingredient amounts control the source, in-flight and received volumes. The same values determine layer height and the poured-total label.

Can I add a fourth ingredient?

Yes. Two to four ingredients are supported, and the vessel row is recomputed. Their combined amount must stay below 85% of capacityMl.

Does it calculate a safe recipe?

No. It animates supplied amounts and checks volume accounting. Food suitability, concentration, allergens and real preparation remain your responsibility.

What is already packaged in Measured Recipe Film?

The scene geometry, timing and mechanism validator. The editable wide example and its actual controls. Changed-input, invariant and portable-rebuild checks. Control ranges, artistic decisions and model boundaries.

Which parts of Measured Recipe Film can add a charge?

The supplied geometry renders locally. New music, ambience or narration is optional and quoted through PopNow; adequate owned audio can be mixed afterward. Computer and Agent costs depend on your setup. Connections using a PopNow API key, including API-key MCP connections, spend from the separate API balance in USD.

How does Measured Recipe Film differ from writing a prompt or my own skill?

The vessel layout, transfer timing and quantity ledger are already connected. Compared with asking for a drink animation, a changed recipe can be traced through the source, stream and receiving layers instead of becoming an approximate decorative pour.
