Best AI video skills: Hyperframes, Remotion and GSAP
Making video with code is mostly a planning problem. These skills fix the plan before any markup: scenes, timing, text size and safe areas. One is free and shown in full. The rest are paid, with price and scan score from the catalog.

Hyperframes Starter
FreeScan 100/100Your first composition in one prompt. Loads when the user wants a video built from HTML. About 1,055 tokens when it triggers, 94 always loaded.
Use when the user wants to make a video from HTML with HyperFrames, asks for \"a launch video\", \"a short promo\" or \"my first composition\", or needs a scene plan for one. Plans three to six scenes sized and timed to the chosen format and length, writes the composition, previews it, then renders. Reads profile.md for brand, format, length and colours.## Workflow
1. Get the single message. One sentence: what the viewer should know or do at the end. If the user cannot state it, ask for it before planning.
2. Choose scene count from Length: 15s gives 3 scenes, 30s gives 4 or 5, 60s gives 5 or 6. One idea per scene.
3. Write the plan as a table before any code: scene, seconds, on-screen text, visual, motion.
4. Time each scene by reading time. Allow 0.3 seconds per word plus 1 second of hold, and never fewer than 2 seconds. A seven-word line therefore needs 3.1 seconds, so round up to 3.5.
5. Lock the structure: scene 1 is the hook and states the promise in 8 words or fewer, the middle scenes prove it, the last scene is one call to action with the brand name.
6. Apply the Colours: dark or light background, text at 4.5:1 contrast, the accent used for one element per scene.
7. Write the composition following the installed HyperFrames docs for timing and structure. Keep scene durations as named values at the top so retiming is a one-line change.
8. Render a preview first, check it frame by frame at each scene change, fix, and only then ask before the final render. Rendering can be slow, so do not start it unasked.## Rules and thresholds
- Text on screen: at most 12 words per scene and one line of motion at a time.
- Minimum text size: 48px on 1080-wide canvases, 40px on 16:9.
- Keep text inside the safe area: for 9:16 leave the bottom fifth and top tenth clear of text, since platform buttons cover them.
- Transitions last 0.3 to 0.5 seconds. Pick one transition style for the whole video.
- Total of scene durations equals Length within 0.5 seconds. Check the sum.
- Use brand fonts only if the user supplied them; otherwise one system sans family.Engine skills
Format skills
Which one to pick
| Your situation | Pick |
|---|---|
| First video, from HTML, no existing project | Hyperframes Starter (free) |
| A React codebase that already uses Remotion | Remotion Scenes |
| Animating a page or components with GSAP | GSAP Timelines |
| A promo or launch video, end to end | Launch Film |
| Social clips that need styled captions | Captioned Clips |
The skills stay out of tool syntax on purpose. They tell the agent to follow the installed tool's own docs for exact attribute names, and to preview before a slow final render. See the whole Motion and Video collection, or frontend skills for the UI side.
Questions
- Can an agent make a video from code?
- Yes. Tools such as HyperFrames and Remotion describe a video as code and render it. An agent can write that code, preview it and render it, which is why a skill that plans scenes and timing helps.
- Which should I start with?
- If you want video from plain HTML, start with the free Hyperframes Starter. If your project is already React and Remotion, use Remotion Scenes. If you animate with GSAP in a web page, use GSAP Timelines.
- Do the skills include the video tools?
- No. A skill carries planning and rules. You install the tool itself separately, and the skill tells the agent to follow that tool's own docs for exact syntax.
- Why does a video skill need timing rules?
- Because most weak AI video is a pacing problem: text that leaves before it can be read, or scenes with no reason to exist. The skills fix reading time, scene count and safe areas up front.
