Set up

Skills are installed by placing their folder where your agent loads skills.

openvids

openvids is an agent skill for making product-launch videos in the style of the Claude Code release videos: big type, a warm light and ink palette, one accent color, crisp UI recreations, and transitions that turn one object into the next. Your coding agent writes the film in Remotion, synthesizes the soundtrack in Python, and fans out the scenes, the sound, and the design passes to subagents.

The example in examples/droid-launch is a 75-second film about Factory's Droid. Eleven subagents built it, and it ends on a receipt that prints its own cost: 27.8M tokens and $36.16 at API list prices. Download the MP4 from the v0.1.0 release.

Install

Clone the repo into your agent's skills directory.

# Droid (Factory)
git clone https://github.com/NDilanka/openvids ~/.factory/skills/openvids

# Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/NDilanka/openvids ~/.claude/skills/openvids

You need Node 24 or later, ffmpeg on your PATH, and Python 3.10 or later with numpy and scipy.

Use

Ask your agent for a launch video:

Make a 60-second launch video for <product>. Clean, typographic, Claude Code launch style.

The agent follows SKILL.md:

  1. It researches the facts and writes them to FACTS.md with sources.
  2. It asks you for the length, aspect ratio, palette, and audio preferences.
  3. It writes the storyboard and the timing contract (src/timeline.ts and HANDOFF.md).
  4. It sends scene builders and a sound designer out in parallel.
  5. An art director, polish designers, and a QA director refine the draft.
  6. It renders and verifies the MP4 and gives you a caption for posting.

What's inside

PathContents
SKILL.mdThe workflow the agent follows
template/A brand-neutral Remotion starter with three demo scenes, the design system, and an example score
audio/synth.pySound primitives: keystrokes, modal bars, FM bells, glass, plucks, paper, printer, stamp, drone, reverb
audio/render.pyThe score engine. It reads timeline.json and a score spec, then mixes, normalizes to -14 LUFS, and enforces silence windows
scripts/contact_sheet.py, check_boundaries.py, motion_scan.py, timeline_json.mjs, droid_usage.py
references/storyboard.md, design-system.md, sound.md, briefs.md (the subagent prompts)
examples/droid-launch/The full source of the example film

How a film stays coherent

The scenes are built by different subagents in parallel, so the rules live in files that every subagent reads:

  • src/timeline.ts fixes the frame of every visual event. The soundtrack reads the same cues through public/timeline.json, so the picture and the sound stay in sync.
  • Each scene boundary is a shared component rendered with default props. The last frame of one scene and the first frame of the next are the same pixels. scripts/check_boundaries.py renders both and fails if they differ.
  • scripts/motion_scan.py fails on any run of still frames longer than 12, except the holds you allow.

Check a render

Run these from your film project. <skillDir> is where you cloned openvids.

python <skillDir>/scripts/contact_sheet.py out/film.mp4 out/sheets
python <skillDir>/scripts/check_boundaries.py .
python <skillDir>/scripts/motion_scan.py out/film.mp4 --allow <first>-<last>

Run the template

cp -r ~/.factory/skills/openvids/template ~/my-film && cd ~/my-film
npm install
npm run timeline
python ~/.factory/skills/openvids/audio/render.py . audio/score.py
npm run render

Notes

  • droid_usage.py reads Droid session files from ~/.factory/sessions. The prices in scripts/prices.json were list prices on 2026-10-04. Update them before you trust a cost.
  • The rival bars in the example's benchmark scene carry no values, and their lengths are illustrative. Droid's 58.75% is from Factory's Terminal-Bench announcement of September 25, 2025. references/storyboard.md asks for a stricter rule in new films.
  • examples/droid-launch/audio/build.py is the original one-off engine. audio/scores/droid_launch.py is the same score in the current format. Use audio/render.py for new films.
  • The Factory logo and the Droid name in examples/droid-launch belong to Factory. They are here only to show a finished film. Replace them with your own brand.
