CLAUDE CODE VIDEO TOOLKIT is an open-source Python-based toolkit to generate and render AI-assisted videos using Claude Code, with templates, templates, and Python tools for voiceover, music, image, and video generation.
Collecting history — the radar snapshots this repo daily. The trend line appears after 3 days of data (1 so far).
What it is
The claude-code-video-toolkit is an AI-native video production workspace that orchestrates script writing, voiceover, music, visuals, and final MP4 rendering via Claude Code. It provides templates, commands, and tools to manage a multi-step video project from concept to render, using open-source models for voice, image generation, and video composition.
How it works
The toolkit exposes commands for setup and workflow progression:
- /setup for cloud GPU, file transfer, voice, prerequisites
- /video to manage video projects (list, resume, or create)
- Additional commands for scene review, design, brand, template, skills, record-demo, generate-voiceover, redub, voice-clone, publish, versions
Templates are stored under templates/, with pre-built structures such as sprint-review, sprint-review-v2, product-demo, concept-explainer-short. Python tools under tools/ provide voiceover generation, music generation, image generation/editing, video generation, and talking-head creation via SadTalker. Examples exist in examples/ to render demonstrations.
Getting started
Quick Start instructions from the README:
git clone https://github.com/digitalsamba/claude-code-video-toolkit.git
cd claude-code-video-toolkit
python3 -m pip install -r tools/requirements.txt # Optional: AI voiceover, image gen, music, moviepy examples
claude # Open Claude Code in the toolkit
Then in Claude Code:
/setup # Configure cloud GPU, storage, voice (~5 min, mostly free)
/video # Create your first video
This walks through interactive setup for cloud GPU provider, file transfer, and voice config, then creates a project from a template and guides through the workflow. The toolkit emphasizes open-source models and local cloud GPU usage with cost awareness.
