Garden Skills' motion-showreel turns Claude Code into a code-rendered video studio
thisdudelikesAI · x · 2026-11-06
Developer ConardLi's open-source motion-showreel skill (part of Garden Skills, 14.3K stars, MIT) lets Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex render real MP4 videos from code, with music and an editable source you keep changing.
- Outputs product films, UI motion, title sequences, narrated explainers, and showreels
- Ships a 43-style library (swiss-editorial, ink-wash, synthwave, pixel game, guochao patterns, etc.); shorts run 5–60s, chapter-based films up to 20 minutes
- Deterministic render(t) pipeline: stills, contact sheets, three-direction boards, proxies and masters all come from the same page; motion blur, supersampling and film grain are render flags
- One timeline for picture and sound: music synthesized via a built-in synth or beat-matched to your track
- A second skill, web-video-presentation, turns articles/scripts into click-through web presentations with 23 themes for screen recording
