remotion-video

What This Skill Does

The remotion-video skill enables the OpenClaw agent to programmatically generate high-quality videos using the Remotion framework on a dedicated MiniPC. By treating video production as code, you can build complex animations, dynamic social media clips, and motion graphics using React. The skill manages the lifecycle of video creation from project setup and asset integration to headless rendering and file distribution. It bridges the gap between software development and video editing, allowing for data-driven, automated video generation.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/kjaylee/remotion-video

Use Cases

• Automated Content Creation: Generate daily social media updates or news recaps by injecting fresh data into predefined React video templates.
• Dynamic Data Visualization: Create charts, graphs, and motion-heavy explanations by mapping numerical data to animation parameters.
• Scalable Video Production: Render thousands of personalized video variations programmatically without manual frame-by-frame editing.
• React-Native Content: Reuse existing React components and design systems for high-fidelity video motion graphics.

Example Prompts

1. "Create a 30-second promotional video using the 'EventPromo' composition. Use the assets in the public folder, set the FPS to 60, and render it to out/promo.mp4."
2. "Update the 'Statistics' video composition to use the latest data from my database, then trigger a render with high-quality CRF 18 settings."
3. "Can you help me design a new Remotion sequence that features a slide transition between an intro and a main data dashboard?"

Tips & Limitations

• Resource Management: Since video rendering is computationally intensive, be mindful of the MiniPC's RAM and CPU usage. Avoid long, high-resolution renders during peak agent activity.
• Workflow Logic: Remember that the MiniPC is the primary rendering engine. After rendering, ensure the agent initiates the transfer via the HTTP server (port 9877) to move the files to your main workstation.
• Code-First Constraints: This skill requires familiarity with React and the Remotion framework architecture. Ensure your assets are correctly placed in the public/ directory before triggering a render. Use npx remotion studio to verify your scene visual before committing to a full render.
• GitHub Synchronization: The MiniPC environment is isolated; do not expect automated pushes to GitHub. Perform version control actions manually from your primary development machine.
