What it does
Tell Claude Code or Codex "make a promo for my product". The agent captures your real pages, picks shots from a library of tuned motion recipes, storyboards the film, animates it with Remotion, cuts it to the beat, adds sound design, checks every frame and hands you a finished MP4 you can keep editing.
It is not a video generator. Every frame is drawn by code from your own screenshots and copy, so the result is sharp, on-brand and fully editable.

[!IMPORTANT]
🎬 2026-10 · Shot library refresh
All 216 demos were polished and reviewed. The best versions now make up 124 cards / 150 shots, with fresh Gallery previews and video-shotcraft branding.
- 2026-09 · Motion Workbench. Keep editing the delivered film in a CapCut-style browser editor.
- 2026-08 · video-talkcraft, the narration-video sibling: script + voiceover in, every motion beat locked to the voice (78 narration previews).

Use
Just describe the film. No command needed.
| Say | What happens |
|---|---|
Use video-shotcraft to make a promo for my product. | The agent introduces the Ink Press template and asks whether to use it, then captures your pages and builds the film |
Make a launch film for this repo with the Ink Press template. | The fastest path: your screenshots, copy and logo dropped into a validated template |
Use the deck-deal-flyin and row-embed shot cards to present this feature. | You pick the shots by name (copy names straight from the Gallery) |
Design a product close-up inspired by spotlight-hero-card. | One shot, adapted to your product |
Shot library
124 recipe cards in 10 categories, 150 shots in total. Search, filter and copy card names in the Gallery.

Motion Workbench
After delivery the skill opens a CapCut-style editor in your browser
(node workbench/scripts/open.mjs ). The film is split into shot, transition, caption and SFX tracks
exactly as authored. Select any shot to edit its copy, font sizes and colours, move, trim or speed-ramp clips,
drag in any of the 150 library shots, then export with Remotion. Preview and render are frame-identical.
