# claude-code-video-toolkit
Tell Claude Code what video you want — it writes the script, generates the voiceover, music, and visuals, and renders the MP4. An AI-native video production workspace: the skills, commands, templates, and tools your AI agent needs to take a video from concept to final render, on open-source models that cost cents (voiceover ~$0.01, AI video clips ~$0.23).

## Quick Start
 [code] 
> Python dependencies are managed with uv — `uv sync` creates `.venv/` and installs everything from the lockfile in seconds. No uv yet? `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh` (macOS/Linux) or `powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"` (Windows).
Then in Claude Code:
 [code] 
**That's it.** `/setup` walks you through everything interactively — cloud GPU provider, file transfer, voice config. `/video` creates a project from a template and guides you through the whole workflow.
**What's free:** The toolkit leans heavily on open-source AI models — voiceovers (Qwen3-TTS), image generation (FLUX.2), music (ACE-Step), and more. You deploy them to your own cloud GPU account and run them at cost. Cloudflare R2 has a generous free tier (10GB, zero egress), and Modal gives $30/month free compute on the Starter plan — more than enough for a few 5-minute videos a month.
**Requirements:** Node.js 18+ and Claude Code. uv recommended for the AI tools (it installs Python 3.10+ for you). FFmpeg optional.

> No API keys needed — outputs an MP4 immediately.

## A Note from the Author *(not AI-generated)*
> I've spent months painstakingly putting this toolkit together and plan to keep iterating on it. AI makes things easier, but hard work still has huge value. Every video I create is a chance for improvement — every skill, template, tool, and workflow here has been refined through that cycle. It would be wonderful if others wanted to get involved with that: use it, refine it, and feed back into the repo via an issue or PR what you learn.

> My own use case is fairly specific: creating sprint review videos for the AI mobile development arm of Digital Samba. But the idea behind this project is a reusable toolkit for using Claude Code to autonomously generate any kind of "explainer" style video — product demos, walkthroughs, presentations, whatever you need. Autonomous video creation is a lofty ideal for such a subjective field, but we can try :)

> What makes this work is that Claude Code is fantastically resourceful and flexible — give it the framing and tooling that this toolkit
