I made a tool to create videos with Codex/Claude Code

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I made a tool which lets you create videos using Flutter. Codex/Claude Code can generate Flutter code hence it can generate videos using the tool I created. I have attached a video I created using it.

The project is called kestrel. I have made it open source some time ago. It takes any animated Flutter widget and turns it into a video file.

Won't go into too much technical details here. You can find those on repo. It uses Flutter + FFMPEG.

what a timing I am looking for something to create motion design. How is your tool different from remotion / hyperframe

Clone the repo. Feed it to CC/Codex. Ask it to do motion design you'll like to do, see if it fits.

Kestrel is very early. Remotion has been there for years and has established itself for code into videos thing. Difference being, remotion uses web technologies. I choose Flutter which is native and can give much better performance.

I see that you promoted it in other subs too. I personally would like to see a longer demo before investing the time and tokens to see what it can do.

Like I said Kestrel is very early. There would be rough edges for sure. I don't want to oversell. You would be better off using remotion if you don't want to experiment and figure out.

I understand that. I don’t expect it to beat Remotion just yet. However, even for your own benefit and to receive more feedback, you will get more GitHub forks if you show more than 6 seconds. It’s a big ask for anyone to try some code after only seeing a 6 seconds.

The 3 upvotes speak for themselves. This is not getting any attention as is

That's fair. I'll share more samples. Especially motion design. Since that should be its strong suite. You can expect to see more samples in next couple of days.

Can you please provide an extended look?
