What is video-shotcraft?
video-shotcraft is an AI skill for Claude Code and Codex that turns product screenshots and copy into code-rendered promotional videos. Its workflow covers page capture, shot selection, storyboarding, animation, beat synchronization, sound design and frame checks. It uses Remotion rather than a generative video model, and delivers an MP4 alongside the editable React-based video project.
The skill installs locally and includes a motion recipe library, reusable components and a Motion Workbench that runs in the browser. The workbench supports timeline editing and exposes text and styling controls for parameterized shots. Optional export produces an editable JianYing draft. Rendering requires Node.js, npm and additional media tools; the documentation describes macOS testing and Linux setup considerations.
Key capabilities
- Production workflow Guides an agent through page capture, storyboarding, Remotion animation, audio assembly and final frame checks.
- Motion library Provides shot recipes and reference implementations for typography, transitions, interface demonstrations, camera movement and other motion treatments.
- Audio preparation Includes beat-analysis guidance, background music options and tools for sourcing Freesound effects with license records.
- Timeline editing Supports moving, trimming, splitting and retiming clips, with text and styling controls where shot parameters are exposed.
- Editable delivery Outputs an MP4 and Remotion source, with optional JianYing drafts containing separate shot, caption and audio tracks.
Where video-shotcraft fits
video-shotcraft fits product launch films, feature demonstrations and promotional clips built around existing interfaces. Teams can start from the supplied template or select motion recipes, then revise the delivered project through code or the local workbench.
Before deployment, teams should check rendering dependencies, browser downloads and Linux configuration where applicable. Before publishing, they should replace demonstration assets, review screenshots for sensitive information and verify audio attribution and Remotion licensing. Workbench imports require a project manifest, and library demos need code changes before their text and colors become editable controls.
