Repo: [Vincentwei1021/video-shotcraft](https://github.com/Vincentwei1021/video-shotcraft) | Use cases: 3 | Page: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/vincentwei1021-video-shotcraft/

video-shotcraft is a skill for Claude Code and Codex that makes product promo videos. The agent captures your real pages, picks shots from a library of tuned motion recipes, storyboards the film, animates it with Remotion, adds sound design and hands you an MP4 you can keep editing. It is not a video generator: every frame is drawn by code from your own screenshots and copy.

This file holds every use case of this repo. Each one starts with a "## " heading and ends with its URL.
