video-shotcraft is an AI agent skill that uses Remotion to storyboard, animate, and sound-design cinematic promo videos from product inputs. It ships 106 shot cards, 161 motion previews, and a production-ready 36.2-second template.
What it is
video-shotcraft is an AI agent skill for Claude Code or Codex that turns product prompts into motion-design-based promo videos using Remotion. It provides 106 shot recipe cards, 161 motion previews, and a production-ready template for generating cinematic product videos. The template is described as a complete promo with 2.5D camera moves, titles, transitions, and a cinematic SFX pass.
How it works
The skill serves as a toolkit to storyboard, animate, and sound-design a promo video. It includes Remotion implementations (TSX demos with timing and easing parameters), a gallery of motion previews, and a complete video template. Users interact by instructing the agent to apply specific shot cards or templates to their product, and the agent can swap in product screenshots, copy, and branding.
