Topic in, narrated explainer video out — a Claude Code / Codex skill that produces full motion-graphics explainers with Remotion, every frame drawn in code.

Skills & Commandsskillvideoremotionttsmotion-graphics

From the author of video-talkcraft: pick a topic, length, and language, and the agent researches it with sources, writes the narration, generates voiceover and a frame-accurate timeline, storyboards every shot, then dispatches parallel build agents that write one Remotion (React + TypeScript) component per shot. QC agents review rendered frames against written criteria. Output is a 1280×720 H.264 MP4 with word-boundary-aligned subtitles, chapter cards and a progress bar — no stock footage, no generative video model.

What it does

  • Full film pipeline in one skill: research with sources → narration → voiceover + frame-accurate timeline → storyboard → parallel shot-building agents → QC against written criteria
  • Every frame is a Remotion component (React + TS) on a black canvas — star-field or dot-field backdrop, white line art, ultra-bold headlines; no stock footage or gen-video models
  • Chinese voiceover via edge-tts (zh-CN-YunxiNeural), English via local kokoro-82m, or bring your own TTS / finished audio with forced alignment
  • Three length tiers (2–3 / 3–5 / 5–8 min) with a published table of narration budgets, shot counts, build-agent counts and wall clock (≈1–3 h); you are consulted at exactly four checkpoints

When to use it

When you need a reusable, brand-consistent explainer for a technical topic — vector databases, RAG, your product's architecture — and want the whole film reviewable as code instead of a timeline file.

Getting started

git clone https://github.com/Vincentwei1021/anything2explainer.git
ln -s "$PWD/anything2explainer" ~/.claude/skills/anything2explainer   # Claude Code
ln -s "$PWD/anything2explainer" ~/.codex/skills/anything2explainer    # Codex

# deps: Node ≥18, ffmpeg, and a venv with edge-tts==7.2.8 + numpy pillow scipy
# English narration additionally needs kokoro + soundfile + espeak-ng

Things to know

PolyForm Noncommercial license — fine for your own videos, not for commercial work. Heavy deps (Remotion, ffmpeg, pinned edge-tts); macOS is the verified platform (Linux should work, Windows untested), and a full film takes 1–3 hours of wall clock plus ≈2–3 GB of disk.
