open-animate
Open Animate — the creative suite for AI agents. Create professional motion graphics, generate images, and render MP4 videos. Use when the user wants to make videos, animations, motion graphics, social clips, product launches, explainers, or any visual content. Supports asset generation (images, backgrounds, upscaling) and video composition with animation presets, transitions, and components.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jacobcwright/open-animateOpen Animate — Creative Suite for Agents
Create professional motion graphics and generate visual assets. Describe what you want. Get an MP4.
Prerequisites
This skill builds on Remotion skills for core Remotion API patterns:
npx skills add remotion-dev/skills
Workflow
1. Initialize project
npx oanim init my-video
cd my-video
2. Compose using @oanim/core
import { fadeUp, popIn, Background, SafeArea, palettes } from '@oanim/core';
See references/animation-cookbook.md for the full presets reference.
3. Preview
npx remotion studio
4. Render to MP4
npx oanim render
5. Generate and use media assets (optional)
# Generate image, video, or audio
npx oanim assets gen-image --prompt "dark gradient abstract" --out public/bg.png
npx oanim assets run --model fal-ai/kling-video/v1/standard/text-to-video \
--input '{"prompt":"cinematic abstract motion","duration":"5"}' --out public/clip.mp4
npx oanim assets run --model fal-ai/stable-audio \
--input '{"prompt":"ambient electronic, no vocals","duration_in_seconds":30}' --out public/music.mp3
Then use in your composition:
import { Img, OffthreadVideo, Audio, staticFile } from 'remotion';
<Img src={staticFile('bg.png')} style={{ width: '100%', height: '100%', objectFit: 'cover' }} />
<OffthreadVideo src={staticFile('clip.mp4')} style={{ width: '100%', height: '100%', objectFit: 'cover' }} />
<Audio src={staticFile('music.mp3')} volume={0.25} />
