Create Videos with Remotion Skills

goose can create programmatic videos using Remotion, a framework for creating videos with React. By loading Remotion Agent Skills, goose gains knowledge of best practices for animations, compositions, text effects, and video rendering.

Prerequisites​

Remotion License

Remotion is free for individuals and small teams, but requires a commercial license for companies with 3+ employees.

Configuration​

Enable the Skills extension to allow goose to load and use Agent Skills.

  1. Click the button in the top-left to open the sidebar
  2. Click Extensions in the sidebar
  3. Toggle Skills on

Example Usage​

In this example, we'll ask goose to create a terminal-style video that demonstrates a git workflow. The video will feature typewriter effects, realistic terminal output, and a celebratory animation at the end.

LLM

Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5 was used for this example.

goose Prompt​

Create a terminal-style video showing a git workflow: type out git add ., 
then git commit -m 'feat: add new feature', then git push origin main. 
Each command should appear with a typewriter effect, followed by realistic output. 
End with 'Deployed to production 🚀'
