What it does
weilanx-claude-videos is a Remotion project for short videos, mostly in Chinese, about AI, tech history, science, game theory and shooters. Nothing is drawn in an editor: characters, backgrounds, charts, subtitles and sounds are generated by code, and animation is computed from the frame number, so renders are deterministic. Timing is tied to an SRT, and after a new voice recording the animation re-aligns. The `.claude/skills/` folder holds eight skills. Three produce a finished episode in one run (a black-gold game-theory short, a tactical shooter explainer, a lamplight short on an ancient custom), three wait for approval in Studio before export (a gilded music-only short, a warm-paper desk video, a pixel-art talking character), and the rest build a Vox-style collage and distill a style from a reference video into a new component kit. A library of eight style kits and the source of 50+ episodes sit alongside as examples.
Who it is for. Creators of short explainer videos who know React and want to make clips in code and hand the routine to an agent.
Good fit when
- One topic should become a video with a cover, post copy and subtitles in a single run
- You have a reference video and want its visual grammar carried into a new component kit
- A voice-over is recorded and the animation should align to the subtitles automatically
- You need a short clip to music with the climax landing on a strong beat
Not a fit when
- You want to edit shot footage in an editor: everything here is drawn in code
- You want a finished clip without your own music or voice: tracks and voice are not included
- Your project needs other scripts without Chinese fonts: the styles rely on system CJK fonts, best on macOS
Example request
Make a black-gold glow short about the prisoner's dilemma: no voice-over, bilingual subtitles, a cover and post copyLimitations
Node.js (the author used version 24), `ffmpeg` for export and `uv` for the Python scripts are required. The skills load when Claude Code starts at the repository root. Music is not included: the `we-never` track is licensed to the author, so put your own track in `public/music/` and register it in `audio/music.mjs`. The author did some steps with private tools (voice clone, recognition, cover), and each skill has a section on what to swap in. Reference videos need your own copy and rights: the style is carried over and content is not copied.
How to disable. Delete the `weilanx-creator-*` folders from `.claude/skills/` or the whole clone. The Remotion project installs nothing outside its folder besides `node_modules`.
FAQ
Where do I start?
Clone the repository and run `npm install`, `npm run audio` and `npm run studio`, then open the `ep00-demo` composition: a 30-second demo that needs no external files.
What is the difference between one-shot and approval skills?
The blackgold and fps skills go from topic to finished video, cover, post copy and subtitles on their own. The others stop at a Studio preview and export after your approval.
Where do I get music and voice-over?
They are not in the repository. Put your licensed track in `public/music/` and register it in `audio/music.mjs`, and record the voice-over yourself and import its SRT.
What does the distill skill do?
It breaks a reference video down shot by shot (cuts, keyframes, palette, rhythm) and writes a new component kit in `src/library/` with a recipe card and a preview composition. The original's content is not copied.
What is the license?
MIT. Fonts in `public/fonts/` are under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, and the styles in `styles/` are adapted from the huashu-art-motion project (MIT).

README in short
The project description begins with an overview: Remotion, a library of eight styles, an audio pipeline and 50+ episodes as examples. A style gallery, a feature list, a quick start, a table of the eight skills, the reference workflow and what is not included (music, voice, the author's private tools) follow.
