Overview

Video Shotcraft is a skill for Claude Code and Codex that makes product promo videos from your own website or app. The agent captures your real pages, picks shots from a library of 124 motion recipes, storyboards the film, animates it with Remotion, cuts it to the beat and adds sound effects, then hands you a 1080p MP4. You can keep editing in a browser editor or export a JianYing (CapCut China) draft. It suits founders and product teams who need a launch video without a motion designer.

Every frame is drawn from your own screenshots and copy rather than generated, so text stays sharp and the whole film stays editable.

Try these first

Start with the first one: it is a small task you can check easily.

  1. Design a single product close-up inspired by spotlight-hero-card, using this screenshot: [attach screenshot].First try · renders locally

  2. Use video-shotcraft to make a promo for my product at [URL or project folder].captures your pages

  3. Make a launch film for this repo with the Ink Press template.

  4. Find three sound effect candidates for a card flip in this shot, without downloading them.

Good to know

You have a web app and need a short launch film for social posts. Video Shotcraft captures your real pages, storyboards shots from its recipe library and renders an MP4 you can keep editing.

Limits

  • Rendering uses Remotion, which is free for individuals and small teams; companies may need a paid Remotion license.
  • The author checks it on macOS; headless Linux needs the extra render flags listed in the README. Sound effects come from Freesound under their own licenses, and CC BY files need credits when you publish.
