Full index: https://varg.ai/how-to/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page.

Eight .md files that turn Claude Code + Remotion into a launch-film studio: brief, style, storyboard, motion, sound, render.

What it does

A project harness by @beamnxw for building a product launch film with Opus 5.5 in Claude Code on Remotion. Unzip eight Markdown files into a Remotion project; CLAUDE.md walks the agent through five stages and tells it which file to read at each one. BRIEF.md fixes the outcome (default: a 20 s, 1920x1080, 60 fps Launch composition demonstrating one real product action); STYLE.md makes it propose three visual directions and set tokens before any motion; ASSETS.md maps your real screenshots and UI states (with coordinate transforms for cursor and highlight anchors); STORYBOARD.md holds the global event frames and polished stills per scene; MOTION.md enforces frame-driven animation (useCurrentFrame(), clamped interpolate, seeded noise, no timers or CSS animation); SOUND.md aligns each audible hit to its visual event frame; DELIVERY.md renders and inspects final.mp4, cover.png and a contact sheet. It forbids invented screenshots, features or metrics. Two prompts are included: LAUNCH-PROMPT.txt to start, FULL-PROMPT.txt to recreate the harness when the files are missing. No scripts, only text. Example: varg ran it on its own product, a 20-second launch film for varg how to made from real screen captures; the final render took 26 s on a laptop. Its full source is the motion-studio-launch-film template in vargHQ/code2video-templates.
