Make a branded launch video with OpenClaw and Remotion

OpenClaw is the agent that writes, previews and renders the video, and it runs on your own computer.

1. 1In a terminal, run node --version. You need 24.16 or newer, or 26.
2. 2On a Mac or Linux, run the command below. On Windows, run iwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex in PowerShell.
3. 3When the setup wizard opens, pick Quick start. It looks for your Claude Code or Codex login, or asks for an API key.
4. 4Run openclaw dashboard to open the chat in your browser.

curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash

You should see the OpenClaw chat in your browser. Send a short hello and it replies.

Quick start asks if OpenClaw should keep running in the background. Say yes, or the chat stops when you close the terminal.

Remotion's own skill teaches OpenClaw how to set up a video project, preview it and render it.

1. 1In a terminal, run the command below. It installs remotion-best-practices, the skill that holds all of Remotion's guides.
2. 2Run openclaw skills check to confirm the skill is ready.
3. 3Back in the browser, start a new chat session so it loads the skill.

openclaw skills install skills-sh:remotion-dev/skills/remotion-best-practices

You should see the install finish with no errors.

Read any skill before you install it. This one comes from Remotion's own GitHub repository.

A clear brief saves rounds of fixes, and OpenClaw can read your website for the brand details.

1. 1Paste the prompt below into the chat and fill in the brackets.
2. 2Answer OpenClaw's questions about length, scenes and style.
3. 3When it says the project runs, open the Remotion Studio link it gives you.

Use the remotion-best-practices skill to make a launch video for [PRODUCT], which [WHAT IT DOES IN ONE LINE].

Create the project in a new folder called launch-video and tell me its full path. Read [YOUR WEBSITE URL] for our colors, fonts and key lines. Copy my logo from [PATH TO YOUR LOGO FILE] into the project's public folder.

Make it 1920x1080 at 30 fps, about 30 seconds long, in 5 scenes: the problem, the product, 2 key features, and a call to action with [YOUR URL]. Keep text large and on screen long enough to read. Ask me your questions first, then open the Studio preview.

You should see Remotion Studio in your browser, with your scenes on a timeline you can play.

OpenClaw reads web pages with its built-in web_fetch tool. It doesn't run JavaScript, so it can miss parts of very dynamic sites.

Small, exact requests fix only what you name and keep the parts you already like.

1. 1Play the video in Studio and write down each change, with its scene number.
2. 2Ask for one change per message, like the examples below.
3. 3Watch the preview update, then send the next change.

In scene 2, make the headline 2 times bigger. Keep everything else the same.

In scene 4, slow the feature cards down so each one stays on screen for 2 seconds.

Use [YOUR BRAND COLOR AS A HEX CODE] for every button, and keep the background dark.

You should see the preview change after each request, with the rest of the video left as it was.

If you edit the project by hand, tell OpenClaw. Remotion's skill tells the agent not to overwrite changes it didn't make.

A track that fits the length and mood makes the video feel finished.

1. 1Add your Gemini API key with openclaw models auth login --provider google.
2. 2Paste the prompt below into the chat and describe the mood you want.
3. 3Play the preview, and ask for a new track if this one doesn't fit.

Use music_generate to make a 30-second instrumental track for this video: [MOOD, FOR EXAMPLE UPBEAT ELECTRONIC WITH NO VOCALS]. Save it in the project's public folder, add it to the video, and fade it out over the last 2 seconds.

You should see an audio track under your scenes in Studio that plays with the preview.

Keep your API key out of the project folder and out of any file you share or commit.

Rendering turns the preview into a video file you can upload anywhere.

1. 1Paste the prompt below into the chat.
2. 2Wait for the render to finish. It can take a few minutes.
3. 3Open the out folder in your project and play the MP4 from start to end.

Render the video as a 1920x1080 MP4 with H.264 at the highest quality, and tell me where the file is.

You should see an MP4 in the project's out folder that plays with your music.
