Prompting videos with Claude Code

Also available as a 8min video

Creating videos just from prompting

You can create videos just from prompting.
This is an easy way to get started with Remotion!

Prerequisites

You first need to install Claude Code and Node.js.
Claude Code requires a paid subscription.

Start a new project

Create a new project using the following command:

bash
npx create-video@latest

This will create a new project - we recommend the following settings:

• Select the Empty template
• Say yes to use TailwindCSS
• Say yes to install Skills

Start the preview

First, go into the directory that was created.
If you named your project my-video, you would run the following command:

bash
cd my-video

Install dependencies

bash
npm install

Start the project using the following command:

bash
npm run dev

Start Claude

Open a separate terminal window and start Claude:

bash
cd my-video
claude code

You can now prompt a video! See our video above for a few ideas on how to start.
