Motion Director — Design skill for Claude Code

motion-director

**A Claude Code skill that turns one line into a keynote-grade motion graphics film.** Say *"make a launch video for this"* — it researches the product, writes a shot-by-shot treatment, builds the film as deterministic code with real motion blur, composes the score and designs every sound from scratch, can cast and word-sync a voiceover, reviews every frame, and hands you the MP4.


*The reference film ("Lumen", a fictional product) — kinetic type on living light, a panel slide-over into a real-feeling product UI, a chart that counts up, a typed question, a highlighted answer, a camera dive into the hero bar, a circle wipe to night, a lockup. Real shutter motion blur, synthesized score and sound design.* [Full-quality MP4](assets/demo.mp4) · [Frame sheet](assets/demo_sheet.png)

Install

**macOS / Linux**

git clone https://github.com/Rohith2989/motion-director ~/.claude/skills/motion-director

**Windows (PowerShell)**

git clone https://github.com/Rohith2989/motion-director "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills\motion-director"

Only for one project? Clone it into `/.claude/skills/motion-director` instead. Update later with `git pull` in that folder.

**Requirements:** Node 18+, Python 3.10+, git. The first film installs everything else into its own project folder (headless Chrome for rendering, ffmpeg, fonts, brand icons — about 300 MB) and the Python packages in `engine/requirements.txt`. Check a machine with `python scripts/doctor.py`.

**Optional keys** (environment variables, never files): `GEMINI_API_KEY` for voiceovers (Gemini 3.8 TTS, 300+ voices) and AI review; `OPENAI_API_KEY` or `ELEVEN_API_KEY` for alternative voices.
