video (marketingskills) skill
Guides marketing video production with Remotion or Hyperframes, AI generation models and avatar tools, plus product-demo and edit-copying references.
Our verdict Recommended with caveats
A solid overview with practical workflows, but model names and prices change quickly and most paths need paid third-party tools.
What the video skill does
The video skill helps the agent plan and produce marketing videos. It begins by asking for the goal, platform, length, whether you need a human presenter, existing footage and technical stack, then offers an approach table: programmatic video (Remotion in React, Hyperframes in HTML with a paused GSAP timeline), AI generation (Veo 3, Runway, Kling, Seedance and others), AI avatars (HeyGen, Synthesia), and editing and repurposing tools. It gives short setup commands for Hyperframes and Remotion and explains when to pick each one.
Further sections cover prompting video models, a rule of thumb for AI generation versus stock footage, avatar use cases, repurposing long content into clips, an agent-native pipeline, and workflows for product demos, explainers, batch social clips and per-account personalized videos. Three reference files add detail on AI video prompting, edit anatomy (reverse-engineering a reference video's cuts) and recording product demos. It does not ship scripts; it tells the agent to check each project's docs for licensing and current features. An evals.json file lists test prompts. Most tools it names are paid or need their own API keys.
Good for
- Marketers choosing between Remotion, Hyperframes and AI video tools
- Producing product demo or explainer video workflows with an agent
- Batch or personalized video from templates
Not for
- Video content strategy or what to post, which the repo sends to its social skill
- Producing finished video without paid generation or avatar accounts
Depth 3/5
A 17 KB SKILL.md with three reference files and an evals.json, but no scripts or templates.
Dependencies and costs
- Node.js for Remotion or Hyperframes
- API keys or paid plans for AI video and avatar tools (for example HeyGen, Synthesia, Veo, Runway)
Security review
Review before installingA Markdown skill for producing marketing video with programmatic frameworks and AI tools. It has no scripts of its own, but instructs the agent to run unpinned npx tools and install Playwright and ffmpeg. API-key guidance tells the agent not to accept keys pasted in chat and to use environment variables.
Worth knowing
- Runs remote code at an unpinned versionTells the agent to run

What we checked
The skill folder (5 files) on Oct 29, 2026. Not a full review: it relies on code outside the repository: npm packages hyperframes, create-video and playwright; ffmpeg; third-party video/TTS APIs referenced in the Markdown.
NVIDIA SkillSpector static scan: 6 pattern hits (MCP Rug Pull 5, Excessive Agency 1). The six SkillSpector hits are unpinned npx mentions (hyperframes, create-video, playwright) and the phrase 'Never ask the user' for API keys, which is a rule to keep keys in environment variables rather than chat.
A review, not a certification. Skills change after we check them — read the files before installing.
License
MIT — commercial use allowed (repo-level license on coreyhaines31/marketingskills).
Can it run unattended?
Not really. It outlines workflows and tool choices; rendering and generation depend on external services and review by the user.
Alternatives
HyperFrames
heygen-com/hyperframesHeyGen's framework and skills for writing HTML and rendering it to deterministic MP4 video, with a CLI, a block registry and media tooling.

FAQ
What does the video skill in marketingskills do?
It guides marketing video creation with code (Remotion, Hyperframes), AI generation models, avatar tools and editing tools, and provides workflows for product demos, explainers, social clips and personalized videos.
How do I install the video skill?
Run npx skills add coreyhaines31/marketingskills --skill video, or install the whole marketing-skills plugin for Claude Code or Codex. You will also need the video tools it recommends, such as Remotion or Hyperframes.
Do I need paid accounts for the video skill?
For AI generation and avatar paths, yes: services like HeyGen, Synthesia, Runway or Veo charge per use or per plan. Remotion and Hyperframes are code frameworks, with their own licensing terms you should check.
video skill vs Remotion's own skills?
This skill compares several approaches at a strategy level. remotion-dev/skills is the Remotion project's own skills repo, so it is limited to that framework.
