showtime — Local Video Director

An all-in-one skill that plans, renders, QA-checks and delivers videos — promos, reels, captions, voice-overs — through a local CLI toolchain.

What it does

showtime puts Claude in the director's chair while the bundled local CLI does the actual production work.

  • Frame-exact rendering of HTML/canvas scenes
  • Local voice-over, music and sound effects with mixing
  • Transcript-driven footage edits: cut the ums, remove silences, reframe to vertical
  • Captions/subtitles, thumbnails and poster frames, re-voicing or subtitling in another language
  • A six-stage pipeline (init → understand → plan → first look → build → verify → deliver) with a QA pass and critic round
  • Dedicated routes for turning a repo, URL, pull request, changelog, CSV or PDF into a video

Who it's for

  • Developers and founders who need launch or demo videos fast
  • Marketers and creators shipping reels, Shorts and TikToks regularly
  • Educators turning screen recordings into polished walkthroughs
  • Anyone who wants everything processed locally, with nothing uploaded

Examples

  1. "Make a 20s launch video from this GitHub repo" → brand capture, templated render, QA verdict with LUFS and true peak
  2. "Cut the ums from this screen recording and reframe it vertical with captions" → transcript-based EDL edit, 9:16 reframe, burned captions
  3. "Turn this revenue CSV into an animated data story" → showtime data import, animated chart scenes, quiet music bed
