/make-short
The default pipeline for any short: from a topic to a complete video with motion and voice.
How it works: Topic → script.md + beats.json → TSX beats over one fixed board → frame-by-frame checks → ElevenLabs voice with word-by-word synced captions → a draft SFX mix. ~40 seconds, looping back to frame 0.
Example commandmake a short about the Monty Hall problem
/make-vox
Vox-style paper collage with a documentary rhythm: maps, archival cutouts, a camera traveling between scenes.
How it works: Every scene is broken into layers (Gemini images + cutout.py, an HTML→PNG page, or SVG directly) and composed on a CollageBoard camera in Remotion.
Example commandmake a vox-style short about how coffee conquered the world
/make-ai-short
The generative pipeline: video clips from an AI model with a locked, consistent character.
How it works: One character sheet in character.json; every shot is image-to-video from a frame that contains the character (Seedance 1.5 Pro on fal); the loop shot uses frame 0 as its end frame. It states the estimated cost before every paid call.
Example commandmake an AI video short with blue-man: he watches the same bus pass three times
/avatar-reel
Your own talking clip → a “two-storey” reel with evidence panels above you.
How it works: Drop avatar.mp4 + script.txt in a folder. You get: TSX panels on top, your avatar in a rounded card below, word-by-word synced captions in between, real screen recordings for the “proof” beat, a comments CTA, and a cover.
Example command/avatar-reel
Real example in the projectshorts/short-25-token-graph-avatar ▶ The render /video-ad-editor
A talk-to-camera video → a finished vertical ad, with no editing software.
How it works: Cuts the silences, adds word-timed Arabic synced captions, draws coded motion graphics that visualize what is being said (numbers, comparisons, charts), an end card, −14 LUFS loudness normalization, and an .srt file.
Example commandmake an ad out of this video
Real example in the projectshorts/short-27-token-graph-ad ▶ The render /prompt-showcase
A silent reel in the channel’s brand that shows an AI-made result + the prompt that produced it.
How it works: The result inside a frame, the reference image beside it, and the prompt scrolling automatically, with a CTA that invites comments. Music is added after the render.
Example commandmake a prompt reel for this Higgsfield video, prompt in prompt.txt
Real example in the projectremotion/src/shots/prompt-1 ▶ The render /vidtsx-2d-generator
The core TSX rules every pipeline follows — so Remotion never falls apart.
How it works: Frame-based motion only, increasing ranges, Easing.bezier, no useState. Use it directly for a single animated clip or a title card.
Example commandgenerate a 5-second animated title card that says "Season 2"
Real example in the projectEvery Composition under remotion/src/shots/ follows it
/suggest-sfx
The sound-effects stage for any short.
How it works: Reads the beats and word timings, suggests cues from the shared media/library/sfx library, generates what is missing via ElevenLabs, writes sfx-plan.json, and renders a draft mix for you to hear and approve.
Example commandsuggest sfx for short-5
Real example in the projectshorts/short-1-chess/sfx-plan.json — 22 cues on a chessboard
