video-shotcraft
by Vincentwei1021
A skill for Claude Code and Codex that lets an AI agent build product promo videos from your own screenshots and copy, using Remotion and a library of ready-made motion recipes. It produces an editable MP4 with beat sync and sound design, rather than generating footage with an AI video model.

What you can do with it
- Ask your coding agent to make a launch or promo film from your real product pages and copy
- Pick named shots from the gallery, such as card stacks or spotlight sweeps, to present a specific feature
- Keep editing the finished film in the browser editor or export it as a JianYing (CapCut CN) draft
Make money with it
A freelancer could offer fast, low-cost product launch videos to software start-ups, using the agent to do most of the production work.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Make launch and feature promo videos for your own product without paying a video editor or agency
- Produce short branded promo clips for clients as part of a freelance design or marketing service

Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Needs a paid Claude Code or Codex subscription or API access to run
- Video rendering with Remotion may need extra tools installed and can be slow on older computers
- Remotion has its own licence terms that may require a paid company licence for larger businesses
- README lists sponsors that are API resellers, so check any services before paying
