What it does
A video production workspace from Digital Samba: open it in Claude Code, run /setup and /video, and the agent writes the script, generates voice-over, music and visuals, and renders the MP4 from Remotion templates. Fourteen skills cover Remotion, FFmpeg, MoviePy, Playwright screen recording, synthetic UI demos, ElevenLabs, and open models you deploy to your own Modal or RunPod account (Qwen3-TTS voices, FLUX.2 and Qwen image editing, ACE-Step music, LTX-2 video), so most generation runs at cost. Showcased templates include release-notes videos with product UI rebuilt from source, product demos and vertical shorts. In the Agent Skills Hub end-to-end test it finished a 15-second promo with sound in 5.5 minutes.
Use when
- Produce a product demo, release-notes video or explainer from a prompt
- Generate voice, music and images with open models on your own GPU account
- Record and edit a scripted browser demo
Not for
- Quick one-off edits of existing footage (an ffmpeg-focused skill is lighter)
