What problem does it solve?
Turning a topic, README, or screen recording into a finished narrated video normally requires stitching together scripting, TTS, image generation, captions, and a renderer by hand. This Skill orchestrates that entire pipeline through a single CLI with deterministic, reproducible run directories and key-free fallback providers.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Three generation modes: shorts/reels (9:16) from a topic, explainers (16:9) from README/code/data, and demos from screen-capture files or supervised headed-browser web capture of any URL.
- Key-optional 3-tier router: every capability (voice, visuals, captions, compositor) has a real provider path and a key-free fallback, so paid providers like Pexels or Pixelle activate only when their API keys exist.
- Deterministic asset bus: each run produces script.json, timing.json, render-spec.json, captions, the rendered mp4, and a manifest with sha256 hashes and cost breakdown, enabling byte-stable re-renders via
oma video render.
- Use Case: Ask for a 30-second vertical short about a product feature; the Skill writes the script, synthesizes narration, generates visuals, builds TikTok-style captions, authors a Remotion composition, and renders the finished mp4 into a reproducible run directory.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to make a 30-second vertical short about your chosen topic with TikTok captions, and it will run oma video generate to produce the narrated mp4 in a run directory.
