Prompting an Agent to Build a Video Animation
Workflow for generating programmatic video animations using Remotion and coding agents
A development workflow demonstrating how to create programmatic animations by equipping an AI coding agent with Remotion skills. By loading the specialized tool definitions via npx, the agent can write and render complex React-based video animations from a single text brief.
How it works
Install Remotion skills with `npx skills add remotion-dev/skills`, then ask an agent (e.g. Replit agent) to 'animate the Nike swoosh with Remotion' — it produced a 3D rotating swoosh with glow/particles quickly.
What it's for
- Generate programmatic logo animations and motion graphics via text prompts
- Equip AI coding agents with domain-specific Remotion creation capabilities
- Rapidly prototype branded video assets without manually coding animation keyframes
Key points
- Install Remotion agent skills directly using the CLI command npx skills add remotion-dev/skills
- Works with agentic coding environments such as Replit Agent
- Generates complex effects like 3D rotation, glows, and particle systems automatically in code
