Requires Node 18+, ffmpeg on PATH, and optionally Python with numpy and scipy for the synthesized music bed.

License-free output, bundled fonts use SIL OFL, use freely in personal or commercial projects.

in plain english

LaunchMotion generates kinetic-typography product launch videos from a JSON storyboard. You describe your product, and the tool produces a 1080-pixel H.264 video with bold type that snaps in, a gradient brand reveal, a UI demo panel, glowing benchmark bars, a privacy statement beat, and an end card, all cut to a synthesized music bed. The output is a self-contained video file that does not depend on any paid service or licensed samples. The project is designed to work as an AI agent skill rather than a tool you run directly. You give your AI assistant (ChatGPT or Claude) the GitHub URL and ask for a launch video. The AI reads the SKILL.md file to learn the available scene types, writes a storyboard as a JSON file, and renders the video using the dependencies on your machine. You do not need to clone the repository yourself. The only required dependencies are Node.js version 18 or later and ffmpeg on your system path. An optional Python setup with numpy and scipy is needed only if you want the synthesized music bed in the output. The look is customizable through a theme block in the storyboard JSON. You set your brand colors as accent colors and a background color, and the renderer applies them across all scenes. The bundled fonts are Inter and Inter Tight, licensed under the SIL Open Font License, and the music is synthesized rather than sampled, so there are no licensing restrictions on the output. The README is brief and the project is an early release. The main documentation for scene types and storyboard format lives in SKILL.md, which is the file the AI assistant reads when you hand it the repo URL.
