You will need: Node.js

Checked against the repository on Sep 25, 2026, commit 33b8078.

Text for your agent

Install the skill: npx skills add Agents365-ai/video-podcast-maker/skills/video-podcast-maker -g. Install Python, Node.js and FFmpeg, then give the agent a video topic.

Other ways from the author
npx skills add Agents365-ai/video-podcast-maker/skills/video-podcast-maker -g

Drop the path suffix to install all three variants: full, lite and nano.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The skill walks the agent through the full video pipeline from a topic to a finished file. It gathers material, writes a script, narrates it with local TTS (free edge or azure by key), lays out frames in Remotion and mixes tracks with FFmpeg. The result renders in 4K with subtitles, and vertical 9:16 shorts can be cut from the same run. A style-learning mode picks up visual patterns from a reference video or image, and paid asset generation always asks first.

Who it is for. For creators, marketers and developers who need to turn a topic into an explainer video quickly.

Good fit when

  • You need an explainer or video podcast built from a topic or a ready script
  • You want a 4K narrated video with subtitles without manual editing
  • You need vertical shorts cut from a long video

Not a fit when

  • You just need trimming, format conversion or color grading
  • You cannot install Node.js, Python and FFmpeg

Example request

Make a video podcast about how embeddings work, narrate it with the free TTS

Limitations

It needs Python 3.8+, Node.js 18+, FFmpeg and a Remotion project; the first Remotion install pulls about 2.2 GB of packages. The free edge backend runs without a key, azure needs AZURE_SPEECH_KEY and a region. Tested on macOS and Linux. Output quality depends on the script, which the authors suggest polishing by hand.

How to disable. Remove the video-podcast-maker skill from the agent's skills directory or from the skills CLI install.

Security check

  • Runs shell commands, installs packages and reaches the network
  • Writes video project files to disk

README in short

The README describes a topic-to-video pipeline: research, script, local TTS, Remotion composition and an FFmpeg mix. The repo ships three skill variants: the full one with templates, a lite version and a tool-agnostic nano. Output renders in 4K with subtitles, plus vertical shorts and style extraction from a reference. It installs via the skills CLI or a clone, while publishing to Bilibili, YouTube, Xiaohongshu, Douyin and WeChat stays manual. MIT licensed.

FAQ

Do I need a paid key for narration?

No. The edge backend is free and needs no key. Azure connects by key if you want a different voice.

Can I rebuild a finished video?

Yes. The skill reuses the video project folder, so you can edit the script or music and re-render.
