Prompting videos with coding agents

Also available as a 5min video

Create motion graphics with AI – Simple tutorial for beginners

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

Remotion works well with coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode.

Prerequisites

You first need to install a coding agent like Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode, as well as Node.js.
Most coding agents require a paid subscription.

Start a new project

Create a new project using the following command:

npx create-video@latest

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

• Select the Blank 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:

cd my-video

Install dependencies

npm install

Start the project using the following command:

npm run dev

Start your coding agent

Open a separate terminal window and start your coding agent of choice:

cd my-video
claude # or: codex / opencode

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