Video Shotcraft
Claude Code and Codex skill for cinematic product videos via Remotion shot recipes.
About
video-shotcraft is an agent skill that teaches Claude Code and Codex to produce cinematic product videos using Remotion — the React-based programmatic video framework. Instead of prompting a black-box video generator, the skill provides shot recipes and templates: the agent composes scenes, camera moves, and motion design as code, renders deterministically, and iterates on the edit like a codebase. That makes it a fit for product marketing videos, launch teasers, and demo reels where you want precise control and repeatability.
It is a niche, code-first workflow: you need Remotion installed and some comfort with React to get value, and it will not compete with generative video models on photorealistic footage. Output quality depends heavily on your assets and design input — the skill orchestrates, it does not art-direct. ~2.2k stars, maintained as a focused single-purpose skill.
