I spent 7 years making game dev courses. But couldn't make videos. So I made an AI tool to make it.

The one-liner: You give it a script, it generates a portrait video in 10 minutes. No stock footage, no templates—it writes code that renders as video.

🔧 How it actually works

The tool uses AI to generate React components for each scene in your script. These components animate and render exactly like a video would. When you're done, you get a real video file.

It's not "AI video generation" in the usual sense. There's no diffusion model hallucinating frames. It's closer to programmatic motion graphics—but you don't write the code, AI does.

💡 Why I built this

I've been teaching game dev for 7 years now. Courses would take months to create, and videos would take even longer.

Our team was mostly game developers—not video editors, not motion designers. Creating proper explainer videos was out of the question. Screen recordings were the best we could do.

We tried traditional video production. Too slow. We tried AI video generators. They looked off. So we asked a different question: what if video was just code?

We were already comfortable with code. Game engines, animations, scenes, frame-by-frame thinking—that was our world. So we built a system where AI writes React components, and the React renders as video.

Turns out it works. We can replicate specific art styles, and the output is consistent and editable.

✅ What it can do

→ Generate 30-60 second shorts from a script
→ Match specific visual styles
→ Let you fix individual scenes via chat if something's off

—

🚧 What it can't do (yet)

→ Custom art styles (we have a few presets)
→ Run in a web UI (API costs are too high right now, so it runs through Claude Code in terminal)

Occasionally a shape might render slightly off, but you can tweak individual scenes through chat.

🙋 What I'm looking for

10 people who want to try it. Not paying customers—just people who make (or want to make) short form content and are comfortable enough with a terminal to run Claude Code.

You'd get access to our setup, and I'd want your honest feedback on what works and what doesn't.

If this sounds interesting, comment or DM me.
