## Why it was saved

- [@JNYBGR, 20 January 2026](https://x.com/JNYBGR/status/2013650328919405054): Enables AI-driven motion graphics/video creation in the browser-renderable Remotion framework; Jonny Burger created the announcement animation itself purely by prompting, taking 35min of step-by-step prompting.
- [@imcaiden, 21 January 2026](https://x.com/imcaiden/status/2014024747202519429): One command installs the skill; an agent then writes the script, scenes, voiceover and renders video autonomously — demoed by generating an animation and a full cold-email VSL.
- [@amasad, 22 January 2026](https://x.com/amasad/status/2014157210771702138): Tweet shows Replit agent animating the Nike swoosh with Remotion quickly; quoted tweet gives the install command: npx skills add remotion-dev/skills
