Script → Short

Turn an idea or script into a 9:16 short for Reels, Shorts and TikTok.

Paste into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any agent that supports skills.

Needs: Node.js 22+, FFmpeg, Chrome. No API keys.

Install prompt
Read https://claude-motion.com/skills/script-to-short/install.md and follow it to install the "script-to-short" skill, then make a first video with it.

Paste into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any agent that supports skills.

Example prompt
Use the script-to-short skill on script.txt: a 15-second Reel, 9:16, punchy.
Style prompt (Claude Motion or Opus 5.5)
Make a 15-second vertical 9:16 short for [who will watch, e.g. founders on TikTok and Reels], playing muted in the feed, so every point must read as words on screen. Use only the lines below, in this order; don't rewrite them. Black-and-white style, punchy pace.

Scene 1: the hook slams in. Scene 2: the list of points, one per beat. Scene 3: a short quote from a user. Scene 4: the proof number counts up. End frame: the closing line, held for 1.5 seconds.

Hook: [your hook] (e.g. "Stop editing videos by hand.")
Points: [3 to 4 short lines]
Quote: [a real user quote]
Proof number: [e.g. "3x more views"]
Closing line: [e.g. "Follow for the template"]

Nothing to install: paste this into Claude Motion (Team or Enterprise) or give it to Opus 5.5 for a similar look. The result changes from run to run; the skill gives the same result every time.
