FAQ

What is a video skill for Claude Code?

A package that teaches your agent to produce video — writing the script, generating scenes in code (Remotion, manim, Three.js), synthesizing voiceover, assembling the final cut.

Do I need external APIs for video generation?

Depends on the skill. anything2explainer (9.4) draws every frame in code and needs only a TTS key. Others call video-generation APIs — each detail page lists its dependencies.

Can these really replace video editors?

For explainer and motion-graphics content, increasingly yes. Full production editing still needs a human — the best skills here automate the 80% that is script, scenes, and voiceover.
