What problem does it solve?
This Skill enables content creators to produce consistent, high-quality YouTube thumbnails by combining AI-driven expression cutouts with a Remotion-based renderer.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated expression capture and cutouts build a reusable library of 25 expressions for unlimited thumbnail variations.
- Local rendering with Remotion enables production-quality thumbnails without external APIs or ongoing costs.
- Batch generation supports multiple headlines, styles, and backgrounds for A/B testing and branding consistency.
Quick Start
Install the skill, set up the environment, and start capturing expressions with node scripts/capture.js. Then generate thumbnails with a Remotion command like:
npx remotion still Thumbnail renderer/out/thumbnail.png --props='{"headline":"Sample headline","emotionId":5,"stylePreset":"bold","cutoutUrl":"storage/cutouts/5_cutout.png","bgUrl":"https://source.unsplash.com/1920x1080/?technology"}'
