Open Animate — Creative Suite for Agents

Create professional motion graphics and generate visual assets. Describe what you want. Get an MP4.

Prerequisites

This skill builds on Remotion skills for core Remotion API patterns:

npx skills add remotion-dev/skills

Workflow

1. Initialize project

npx oanim init my-video
cd my-video

2. Compose using `@oanim/core`

import { fadeUp, popIn, Background, SafeArea, palettes } from '@oanim/core';

See references/animation-cookbook.md for the full presets reference.

3. Preview

npx remotion studio

4. Render to MP4

npx oanim render

5. Generate and use media assets (optional)

# Generate image, video, or audio
npx oanim assets gen-image --prompt "dark gradient abstract" --out public/bg.png
npx oanim assets run --model fal-ai/kling-video/v1/standard/text-to-video \
  --input '{"prompt":"cinematic abstract motion","duration":"5"}' --out public/clip.mp4
npx oanim assets run --model fal-ai/stable-audio \
  --input '{"prompt":"ambient electronic, no vocals","duration_in_seconds":30}' --out public/music.mp3

Then use in your composition:

import { Img, OffthreadVideo, Audio, staticFile } from 'remotion';

<Img src={staticFile('bg.png')} style={{ width: '100%', height: '100%', objectFit: 'cover' }} />
<OffthreadVideo src={staticFile('clip.mp4')} style={{ width: '100%', height: '100%', objectFit: 'cover' }} />
<Audio src={staticFile('music.mp3')} volume={0.25} />
