Show HN: Make AI motion videos with text
I also know Claude Code is not something everyone has and setting up remotion is a pain. And one of the biggest lessons I learned from this whole experience is that Opus is actually not that good at design tasks even with the skills, Gemini is what I'm using for Framecall and even Flash(Fast Mode) produces sometimes better results than Opus, crazy considering the cost difference.
Some other things I learned is that motion videos have the same "problem" as writing good code or using claude code as a vibe-coder vs someone who knows the framework they're working with. If you just say "Make a nice video about X" its usually a gamble if the end result will be good, same as if you say "Make me x application" with claude code. You need to have a good eye for design and some terminology to know what exactly it is you want to achieve.
K2.5, ZLM and most of the open source models were pretty bad at making videos even with the skills so I ended up not adding them as an option.
The pricing is there because turns out having 2-5k+ tokens of code output for every animation + 1-2k of tokens for the remotion skills as input is kinda expensive. Would've loved to offer this as just a free product since I made it for fun anyways but oh well.
