Remake a video

Turn any motion video into an editable Raylight project, shot by shot.

Give your AI a video. It studies every frame and builds the same film in Raylight, layer by layer, ready to edit. Remakes are free.

Prompt
Read https://www.raylight.app/docs/remake.md and remake this video in Raylight: <file or link>

What you need

  • Claude Code or Codex, signed in with your plan. The study runs on it.
  • Node.js 20 or newer.
  • A Raylight account. You sign in during the first run.
  • A video up to 3 minutes and 1 GB. MP4, MOV or WebM, or a link to one.

Steps

  1. 1

    Install the skill

    Run this once in your terminal, from any folder. It adds the video-to-project skill to Claude Code and Codex.

    bash
    npx raylight skills add
  2. 2

    Start a remake

    Open Claude Code or Codex and type the command with your video's path or link.

    Claude Code
    /video-to-project ~/Downloads/launch.mp4
    Codex
    $video-to-project ~/Downloads/launch.mp4
  3. 3

    Sign in and confirm

    Open the sign-in link it sends. Then tell it you own the video or have the right to use it. Nothing uploads before you answer.

  4. 4

    Keep the tab open

    A Raylight tab opens and builds the project shot by shot. Switch tabs freely, just don't close it.

  5. 5

    Edit

    When it's done you get the project link and a side by side video of the original next to the remake.

Without the skill

Run it straight from the terminal. It picks whichever of Claude Code or Codex is installed.

bash
npx raylight video-to-project ~/Downloads/launch.mp4
