Overview

About This Skill

How to Use

[{"step":"Set up the claude-remotion-kickstart environment. Clone the starter kit repository and install dependencies using `npm install` in the project directory. Ensure you have Node.js (v16+) and Remotion CLI installed.","tip":"Run `npx remotion init` to scaffold a new project if you’re starting from scratch. Use the starter kit’s pre-built components to save time on animations and transitions."},{"step":"Customize the video script. Replace [VIDEO_TOPIC], [TONE], [STYLE], and other placeholders in the prompt template with your specific requirements. For example, use `[VIDEO_TOPIC: 'Product Launch for EcoClean Detergents']` or `[TONE: 'Energetic and youthful']`.","tip":"Use the starter kit’s `script-generator.js` script to auto-populate common video structures (e.g., intro, feature highlights, testimonials, CTA). This ensures a professional flow without manual scripting."},{"step":"Generate the video components. Use the prompt template in Claude Code to create the video scenes, animations, and transitions. For complex scenes, break them into smaller prompts (e.g., one for the intro, one for the feature demo).","tip":"Leverage Remotion’s `useVideoConfig` hook to dynamically adjust durations, resolutions, or framerates based on your target platform (e.g., Instagram Reels vs. YouTube)."},{"step":"Render the final video. Run `npx remotion render` with your output settings (e.g., `npx remotion render src/index.tsx out.mp4 --props='{\"videoTopic\":\"Product Launch\"}'`). For batch rendering, use the starter kit’s `batch-render.js` script.","tip":"Optimize render settings for your use case. For social media, use 1080p at 30fps. For internal training, 720p may suffice. Use the `ffmpeg` integration in the starter kit to add background music or voiceovers post-render."},{"step":"Review and iterate. Play the rendered video in Remotion’s preview mode (`npx remotion preview`) to check for inconsistencies. Adjust animations, timing, or branding elements as needed, then re-render.","tip":"Use the starter kit’s `quality-check.js` script to validate video specs (e.g., aspect ratio, color accuracy, audio levels) before finalizing. For client approvals, generate a shareable link via `npx remotion upload`."}]

Example Output

Here’s a 60-second promotional video for **TechFlow Solutions**, a SaaS company specializing in AI-driven workflow automation. The video follows a modern, sleek corporate style with a blue-and-white color scheme and a professional voiceover in a calm, authoritative tone.

**Opening Scene (0:00-0:10):**
A clean, minimalist title slide appears with the TechFlow Solutions logo and the tagline *"Automate Smarter, Work Faster."* The background is a gradient of soft blues, and the voiceover begins: *"In today’s fast-paced business world, efficiency isn’t just a goal—it’s a necessity."*

**Scene 1 (0:10-0:25):**
A split-screen animation shows a chaotic office environment on the left (with stacks of paperwork, slow software interfaces, and frustrated employees) and a streamlined, automated workflow on the right (with smooth data flows, integrated tools, and happy teams). The voiceover continues: *"But manual processes and disconnected tools slow you down. What if you could automate the repetitive tasks that drain your team’s time?"*

**Scene 2 (0:25-0:40):**
A dashboard animation highlights TechFlow’s AI-driven automation platform. Key features like *automated data entry, workflow orchestration, and real-time analytics* are visually demonstrated with smooth transitions. The voiceover explains: *"TechFlow Solutions uses AI to automate your workflows—from data entry to complex processes—so your team can focus on what matters most."*

**Scene 3 (0:40-0:50):**
A testimonial-style clip features a fictional customer, *Sarah Chen, COO of GreenLogistics*, saying: *"Since implementing TechFlow, we’ve reduced our order processing time by 70%. Our team is more productive, and our customers are happier."* The screen shows a before-and-after comparison of their workflow efficiency.

**Closing Scene (0:50-1:00):**
The TechFlow Solutions logo reappears with a call-to-action: *"Ready to automate smarter? Visit techflow.ai to book a demo today."* The background music fades out as the logo animates dynamically. The video ends with a subtle fade to black.

**Technical Details:**
- Format: 1080p MP4
- Background Music: Light electronic track with a corporate feel
- Voiceover: AI-generated, neutral American accent
- Branding: Consistent use of TechFlow’s blue (#2A5CAA) and white color scheme
