What is Motion Video Maker?
Motion Video Maker is a specialized skill designed for the Openclaw Skills ecosystem that enables AI agents to create high-quality, structured animation videos. Instead of generating unmaintainable HTML, this skill uses a structured movie.json as the single source of truth, allowing for precise control over timing, scenes, and visual elements. It leverages web technologies to provide real-time previews in an AE/PR style before final rendering.
This skill is ideal for creating knowledge explanations, product introductions, and data visualization videos. By integrating seamlessly into your workflow, Openclaw Skills like this one provide a bridge between raw text and professional-grade video output, ensuring that every animation serves the purpose of clear communication rather than just visual decoration.
Motion Video Maker Use Cases
- Converting Markdown scripts or technical documentation into structured explanation videos.
- Creating social media content with dynamic subtitles and kinetic typography styles.
- Generating product demos and step-by-step tutorials automatically from text descriptions.
- Rapid prototyping of motion graphics via web previews before committing to a final MP4 export.
- Automating data-driven storytelling with consistent visual themes and layouts.
How Motion Video Maker Works
- The AI agent analyzes the user's input text to break it down into logical scenes and narration beats.
- Visual elements are mapped to specific templates and themes defined within the Openclaw Skills framework.
- A structured movie.json file is generated, defining element coordinates (x, y, w, h) and animation properties.
- The system synchronizes the timing of each scene based on the narration text or calculated TTS duration.
- A web-based preview.html is rendered, allowing the user to review the motion graphics in a browser.
- Upon explicit user confirmation, the skill uses Playwright and FFmpeg to capture frames and export the final MP4 video.
Motion Video Maker Setup
To get started with this project in the Openclaw Skills environment, follow these installation steps:
cd {baseDir}
npm install
npx playwright install chromium
# Ensure ffmpeg is installed via your system package manager
Note: Cloud-based TTS services require your own API keys configured in the environment.
Motion Video Maker Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes data within a project directory using a specific hierarchy centered around a JSON-based schema:
| File/Component | Description |
|---|---|
| movie.json | The primary state file containing scene IDs, element properties, and animation logic. |
| scenes | An array of video segments, each with its own narration and timing data. |
| elements | Specific UI components (text, cards, images) with defined x, y, width, and height. |
| theme.json | Definitions for brand colors, fonts, and background styles. |
| audio | Metadata for TTS providers, including voice ID, language, and speed settings. |
Motion Video Maker Advanced Features
- Multi-provider TTS support including integration with MiniMax, OpenAI, Azure, and local system fallbacks.
- Intelligent timing synchronization that automatically matches visual transitions to the natural rhythm of speech.
- Catalog of pre-defined templates such as creator-pop, signal-stage, and editorial-board for different content styles.
- Native cross-platform support for local voice synthesis on both macOS and Windows.
- Explicit confirmation workflow for high-cost operations like video exporting and cloud TTS synthesis.
