About the project

Claude Code Video Toolkit is a workspace that lets Claude Code create videos by producing scripts, voiceovers, music, visuals, and rendered MP4 files. It is for developers using AI-assisted, programmatic video production with tools such as Remotion and open-source media models. The catalogue entries provide commands, skills, instructions, and settings for this workflow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

elevenlabs scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ElevenLabs Audio Generation

Requires ELEVENLABS_API_KEY in .env.

Text-to-Speech

from elevenlabs.client import ElevenLabs
from elevenlabs import save, VoiceSettings
import os

client = ElevenLabs(api_key=os.getenv("ELEVENLABS_API_KEY"))

audio = client.text_to_speech.convert(
    text="Welcome to my video!",
    voice_id="JBFqnCBsd6RMkjVDRZzb",
    model_id="eleven_multilingual_v2",
    voice_settings=VoiceSettings(
        stability=0.5,
        similarity_boost=0.75,
        style=0.5,
        speed=1.0
    )
)
save(audio, "voiceover.mp3")

Models

Model Quality SSML Support Notes
eleven_multilingual_v2 Highest consistency None Stable, production-ready, 29 languages
eleven_flash_v2_5 Good <break>, <phoneme> Fast, supports pause/pronunciation tags
eleven_turbo_v2_5 Good <break>, <phoneme> Fastest latency
eleven_v3 Most expressive None Alpha — unreliable, needs prompt engineering

Choose: multilingual_v2 for reliability, flash/turbo for SSML control, v3 for maximum expressiveness (expect retakes).

Voice Settings by Style

Style stability similarity style speed
Natural/professional 0.75-0.85 0.9 0.0-0.1 1.0
Conversational 0.5-0.6 0.85 0.3-0.4 0.9-1.0
Energetic/YouTuber 0.3-0.5 0.75 0.5-0.7 1.0-1.1

Pauses Between Sections

With flash/turbo models: Use SSML break tags inline:

...end of section. <break time="1.5s" /> Start of next...

Max 3 seconds per break. Excessive breaks can cause speed artifacts.

With multilingual_v2 / v3: No SSML support. Options:

  • Paragraph breaks (blank lines) — creates ~0.3-0.5s natural pause
  • Post-process with ffmpeg: split audio and insert silence

WARNING: ... (ellipsis) is NOT a reliable pause — it can be vocalized as a word/sound. Do not use ellipsis as a pause mechanism.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
