claude-code-video-toolkit

Claude Code Video Toolkit is a programmatic video production framework that enables developers to create professional videos directly within Claude Code environments. It integrates ElevenLabs for text-to-speech synthesis and Remotion for video editing and composition, allowing teams to build video generation workflows in code. The toolkit supports voice customization through character design schemas and automated video rendering pipelines. Operations and content teams can use it to automate repetitive video production tasks, from narration generation to final video output. This approach eliminates manual video editing steps and makes video production scriptable and reproducible.

[{"step":"Install dependencies: Run `npm install @claude-code/video-toolkit elevenlabs remotion` in your project directory. Ensure you have API keys for both services.","tip":"Use environment variables for API keys: `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` and `REMOTION_API_KEY`. Store them in a `.env` file excluded from version control."},{"step":"Generate the initial project structure by running: `npx claude-code-video-toolkit init --name=\"[PROJECT_NAME]\" --duration=[MINUTES]`. This creates a Remotion template with placeholder components.","tip":"For quick prototyping, use `--template=explainer` or `--template=marketing` to skip initial setup."},{"step":"Customize the generated components in `/src/components` with your script, visuals, and branding. Replace placeholder text with your actual content.","tip":"Use Remotion's built-in preview (`npx remotion preview`) to iterate on animations before full rendering. This saves significant time during development."},{"step":"Generate audio with ElevenLabs TTS: `npx claude-code-video-toolkit tts --script=\"[SCRIPT_PATH]\" --voice=[VOICE_ID] --output-dir=\"./audio\"`. Adjust voice parameters like stability (0.5-0.9) and clarity (0.3-0.7) for optimal results.","tip":"For multilingual videos, use voice IDs like `pNInz6obpgDQGcFmaJgB` (Spanish) or `Xb7hH8MSUJpSbSDYk0eg` (German) from ElevenLabs' voice library."},{"step":"Render the final video: `npx claude-code-video-toolkit render --input-dir=\"./src\" --output-path=\"./outputs/video.mp4\" --preset=high_quality`. Monitor progress in the terminal and handle any API rate limit errors by retrying with exponential backoff.","tip":"For batch processing, use `--batch-size=5` to render multiple videos sequentially. Add `--notify=slack` to receive completion alerts in your team channel."}]
