video-shotcraft — Cinematic Product Video Studio

A Remotion-based pipeline that turns a frontend project or webpage into a cinematic promo video using real page screenshots, 2.5D camera moves, beat-synced cuts, and sound design.

What it does

  • Three explicit production modes: reuse the validated 'Ink Press' template with your own assets, let the agent free-create end to end, or co-create with checkpoints (product brief, visual direction, shot mapping, storyboard).
  • 157 shot recipe cards with tuned demo sources: each motion (fly-in, card dealing, orbiting close-up, etc.) ships parameter tables plus reference TSX so the agent reuses proven easing and timing instead of guessing.
  • Real page capture pipeline: starts a local dev server, captures 2x full-page textures with a headless browser, extracts element cutouts and a layout.json coordinate map so the video shows the actual UI.
  • Beat sync and sound design: analyzes true BPM plus kick/snare/hihat onsets (librosa), pins transitions to real transients, and layers 149 commercially free SFX across 16 categories; final renders ship with and without BGM.
  • QA and post-production: per-shot still-frame checks, an independent subagent final review with frame-numbered evidence, a visual workbench at localhost:5198 for editing captions/colors/speed, and CapCut (Jianying) project export.

Who it's for

  • Indie developers and solo founders who need a launch video without a motion designer
  • Frontend engineers who prefer code-driven, reproducible video over After Effects
  • Product marketers and designers who need demo videos that show the real product UI

Examples

  1. "Turn my Next.js dashboard into a 30-second promo" → read-only product inspection, mode recommendation, then capture → storyboard → render.
  2. "Use the Ink Press template for my product" → template mode swaps screenshots, copy, and brand tokens while keeping the validated shot structure.
  3. "Just make one shot using deck-deal-flyin" → validates the card name against the gallery index, reads the exact demo source, and adapts it to your assets.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the SKILL.m folder from the GitHub repo Vincentwei1021/video-shotcraft into my ~/.claude/skills/video-shotcraft/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/Vincentwei1021/video-shotcraft.git ~/.claude/skills/video-shotcraft

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Prerequisites: install Node.js 18+ with npm, and Python 3 (used for beat analysis and smoke tests).
  2. Create the skills folder: run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills.
  3. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/Vincentwei1021/video-shotcraft.git ~/.claude/skills/video-shotcraft
  4. Install template dependencies: cd ~/.claude/skills/video-shotcraft/template && npm install. Some demos also need npm i @remotion/motion-blur, and 3D components need three @react-three/fiber @remotion/three.
  5. Verify rendering: npx remotion render src/index.ts AiflPromo out/promo.mp4 should produce a sample video.
  6. Browse the gallery: visit https://vincentwei1021.github.io/video-shotcraft/library.html and note the shot card names you want.
  7. Use it in Claude Code: open Claude Code in your project folder and say "use video-shotcraft to make a promo video for this project".
  8. Check licensing: for commercial output, review Remotion's separate license terms yourself.
