When to use
Use this skill whenever you need to generate a comprehensive video script for creating a Remotion video. This skill is particularly useful for:
Product demo videos that showcase features of a web application or software product Coding tutorials that explain a codebase or specific technical concepts with animated code Animated videos with complex sequences, transitions, and visual effects Data visualization videos that present statistics, charts, and dynamic data Social media content with captions, effects, and platform-specific optimizations
This skill analyzes your codebase, understands your requirements, and generates a detailed JSON script that can be directly used by Remotion's agent skills to create the final video.
How to use
Read individual rule files for detailed explanations and examples:
rules/prompt-structure.md - Defines the input structure and requirements for the skill rules/script-generation.md - The core prompt for generating detailed video scripts rules/animation-patterns.md - Common animation patterns and timing guidelines rules/scene-templates.md - Reusable scene templates for common video scenarios Quick Start 1. Prepare Your Input
Create a JSON object with your video requirements:
{ "goal": "Create a product demo video for our new task management app", "targetAudience": "Project managers and teams looking for productivity tools", "code": "/path/to/your/codebase", "language": "TypeScript", "videoType": "product-demo", "duration": 60, "style": "modern", "animations": ["fade", "slide", "typewriter"], "transitions": ["wipe", "fade"] }
- Generate the Script
Pass your input to the remotion-script-writer skill. The skill will:
Analyze your codebase to identify key features and functionality Structure the video into logical scenes with appropriate timing Design visual elements, animations, and transitions for each scene Generate voiceover scripts synchronized with visuals List all required assets (images, fonts, audio, etc.) Specify technical requirements (Remotion packages, libraries) 3. Use the Output
The skill generates a comprehensive JSON script that includes:
Video metadata: Title, duration, dimensions, fps, video type Scene breakdown: Detailed specifications for each scene Visual elements: Text, images, code, animations, transitions Audio: Voiceover scripts and background music Assets: Complete list of required images, fonts, icons, etc. Technical requirements: Remotion packages and third-party libraries 4. Create the Video
Pass the generated script to Remotion's agent skills to:
Generate React components for each scene Implement animations and transitions Set up the composition structure Preview the video in Remotion Studio Render the final video Example Output
See examples/product-demo-example.json for a complete example of a generated video script.
Supported Video Types product-demo: Feature showcases, UI walkthroughs, product announcements coding-tutorial: Code explanations, technical concepts, programming tutorials animation: Creative animations, motion graphics, visual effects data-visualization: Charts, graphs, statistics, animated data social-media: Short-form content, viral videos, platform-optimized content Best Practices
The skill incorporates Remotion best practices:
All animations use useCurrentFrame() hook for frame-based timing
Spring animations with natural motion (damping: 200) for smooth reveals
Proper sequencing with
Modify the rule files to customize the skill:
prompt-structure.md: Add new input fields or validation rules script-generation.md: Adjust the generation prompt or output format animation-patterns.md: Add custom animation patterns and effects scene-templates.md: Create new scene templates for specific use cases Advanced Features Codebase Analysis
The skill can analyze codebases from:
Local file paths GitHub repositories (public or private) Code snippets provided directly
It identifies:
Key functions and components Data structures and APIs User interactions and workflows Technical architecture and patterns Dynamic Content
Generate scripts with dynamic content:
Fetch data from APIs for real-time information Calculate video duration based on content length Adjust scene timing based on voiceover length Parameterize content for multiple video variations Branding Integration
Apply consistent branding:
Custom color schemes Company logos and icons Brand-specific fonts Visual style guidelines Limitations Maximum recommended video duration: 5 minutes (for performance) Code analysis works best with well-documented, structured code Voiceover scripts are auto-generated and may require manual refinement Asset generation (images, icons) is not included - assets must be provided or described Complex 3D animations may require additional manual setup Support
