Give this skill to your agent

Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Codex or any agent that can read a web page. It installs the skill and tells you what it does.

Save it as remotion-talking-head-director/SKILL.md in my skills folder (Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/ for every project, or .claude/skills/ for this project only).

Then tell me in two sentences what it does and when it applies. Do not run anything it describes until I say so.

Remotion Talking-Head Director Previews, Fixes Frame by Frame, Then Exports

Turn Remotion talking-head video production from a one-shot gamble on the final cut into a controlled Codex workflow with preview, frame-level edits, and acceptance: asset check → real transcription → proxy development → style keyframes → semantic storyboard → Studio preview → frame-level revision → quality review → export only after approval. Multi-file repo, installed via git clone.

Use caseUse Remotion to turn talking-head footage into controlled videos that can be previewed, edited frame by frame, and exported only after approval.

Remotion Talking-Head Video Director

Turn Remotion talking-head video production from a one-shot gamble on the final cut into a controlled workflow that can be previewed, edited frame by frame, and accepted. Codex acts as the "video engineer" and you act as the "director": every stage has a gate, and you only move on once it passes.

How It Works

A nine-step pipeline, and you must confirm each step before it continues:

Asset check → real transcription (with accurate timecodes) → low-resolution proxy development → style keyframes → semantic storyboard → Studio preview → frame-level revision → quality review → only after confirmation is the high-definition final export rendered.

Core constraints: no final render without confirmation, original subtitles must not be rewritten, and proxy media is used for development before switching to the original footage. This avoids burning through time and compute on an unverified result all at once.

Relationship to Other Skills

It only covers the production workflow, stage gates, deliverables, and acceptance. When actually writing Remotion code, use it alongside the official remotion-best-practices, remotion-captions, and remotion-render; for API details, the official documentation takes precedence, and this skill's workflow constraints still apply.

Who It's For

People who use Remotion to produce talking-head, voiceover, knowledge explainer, tutorial, and creator videos in batches. It is for those who want every step to be previewable, editable, and acceptable, rather than having AI generate a single hard-to-modify final cut at once.

Installation

This is a multi-file skill (including references and templates), so clone the whole repository:

git clone https://github.com/chenjin-cmd/remotion-talking-head-director \
  ~/.claude/skills/remotion-talking-head-director

After installing, have Codex or your agent read SKILL.md, provide the footage (recordings, audio, subtitles, screenshots, or reference videos), and work through the stage gates step by step. Rendering requires Node and a Remotion environment.
