// how it works

How it works

  1. Clarify your goal

    Decide the video type and pick or plan a template, for example a product demo, concept explainer short, or sprint review.

  2. Get the project

    Clone the toolkit, sync Python dependencies with uv, and open it in Claude Code.

  3. Install and configure

    Run the /setup command to configure cloud GPU, storage, and voice interactively, or skip setup and render the bundled hello-world example with no keys.

  4. Run your first task

    Run /video to create a project and let Claude Code guide production from planning through rendering, reviewing scenes as you go.

Why people love it

Agent skills library

Deep skills for Remotion, ElevenLabs audio, ffmpeg, Playwright recording, image generation and editing, AI music, AI video generation, moviepy, and cloud GPU providers.

Production slash commands

Commands cover setup, video creation, scene review, design refinement, brand profiles, templates, voice cloning, redubbing, and publishing to YouTube.

Ready-made templates

Pre-built structures for sprint reviews, product demos, and vertical concept-explainer shorts, plus a library of finished example projects.

Python media tools

Command-line tools for voiceover (including self-hosted Qwen3-TTS), music generation, image generation and editing, video generation, talking-head animation, sound effects, upscaling, and more.

Brand profiles and project tracking

Brand folders define colours, fonts, and voices applied automatically, and each project tracks scenes, audio, sessions, and phase from planning to complete.

Scene transitions library

A bundled set of transitions such as glitch, light leak, and pixelate, alongside the official Remotion transitions, with a preview showcase.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone and sync dependencies

    uv creates the virtual environment and installs everything from the lockfile.

    git clone https://github.com/digitalsamba/claude-code-video-toolkit.git
    cd claude-code-video-toolkit
    uv sync
  2. Open in Claude Code and set up

    The setup command configures cloud GPU, storage, and voice interactively.

    claude
    # then run: /setup
  3. Create your first video (or render the no-key example)

    Use /video inside Claude Code, or render the hello-world example directly for an instant MP4.

    cd examples/hello-world && npm install && npm run render

Questions, answered

Who maintains it?

It is created and maintained by digitalsamba (Digital Samba), who documents building it around their own sprint-review video workflow.

Is it free to use?

The toolkit is MIT-licensed and free, and it leans on open-source models you run on your own cloud GPU account at cost; the README notes free tiers from Modal and Cloudflare R2 that cover light use.

Does it need a paid API key?

Claude Code itself requires your Anthropic access. Full production uses your own cloud GPU account and optionally an ElevenLabs key, but the hello-world example renders with no API keys at all.

How does it compare to a well-known alternative?

Standalone AI video generators produce raw clips; this toolkit is a full production workspace where an agent plans, generates every asset, composes, and renders a finished, branded MP4.

How do I get started?

Clone the repo, run uv sync, open it with claude, then run /setup followed by /video.
