# Reeljet > AI short-form video ad generator as a Claude Code skill: turn app/web/SaaS screen recordings into Reels, TikTok & Shorts using Higgsfield AI video (Veo, Sora, Kling, Seedance), music, and ffmpeg. Claude + Higgsfield MCP. 16:9 + 9:16, kinetic captions. - **Type:** MCP server - **Install:** `agentstack add mcp-xabilimon1-reeljet` - **Verified:** Yes — security-reviewed for prompt injection and unsafe behavior - **Seller:** [Xabilimon1](https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/xabilimon1) - **Installs:** 0 - **Category:** [AI & ML](https://agentstack.voostack.com/c/ai-and-ml) - **Latest version:** 0.1.0 - **License:** MIT - **Upstream author:** [Xabilimon1](https://github.com/Xabilimon1) - **Source:** https://github.com/Xabilimon1/reeljet ## Install ```sh agentstack add mcp-xabilimon1-reeljet ``` Requires the [AgentStack CLI](https://agentstack.voostack.com/docs/cli). Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent. ## About # reeljet > **Turn your app / web / SaaS screen recordings into scroll-stopping short promo videos.** > A [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) skill that pairs your real product footage with **[Higgsfield](https://higgsfield.ai) AI video** (Veo, Sora, Kling, Seedance, Soul), a local music library, and **ffmpeg** to auto-assemble polished ads for **Reels, TikTok, Shorts, and landing pages**. --- ## What is reeljet? **reeljet** is an AI video ad generator that runs as a skill inside Claude Code. You point it at a folder of **real captures** of your product (screen recordings, screenshots, logo); it directs the ad, generates motion/b-roll with the **Higgsfield MCP**, scores it with music from your local library, and renders a finished `.mp4` — **master 16:9** plus a smart-reframed **9:16** vertical — with kinetic captions colored from your product's own palette. The point isn't just stitching clips. The value is the **creative direction** — hook, narrative arc, pacing, captions, music match — produced *before* a single credit is spent, with an approval gate so you stay in control of cost. **Good for:** indie devs and founders launching on Product Hunt / X / the App Store, SaaS marketers who need a steady stream of social ads, and anyone who wants a product demo or hype reel without opening a video editor. ## How it works ```mermaid flowchart LR A[Your capturesrecordings · screenshots · logo] --> B[0 · Intakepalette + key frames] B --> C[1 · Creative planhook · storyboard · music⛔ approval gate + cost] C --> D[2 · GenerateHiggsfield motion / b-roll] D --> E[3 · Assembleffmpeg · captions · music] E --> F[master_16x9.mp4master_9x16.mp4] ``` | Phase | What happens | |------:|--------------| | **0 · Intake** | Extracts your brand **color palette** (Pillow) and scene-detects key frames from recordings. | | **1 · Creative plan** | Writes a shot-by-shot storyboard (`plan.json`), picks the best-matching music, estimates the Higgsfield credit cost — then **stops for your approval**. Nothing is generated until you say go. | | **2 · Generate** | For each "generated" shot, calls the Higgsfield MCP (`generate_video` / `generate_image`) for animated screenshots, b-roll, and transitions. Idempotent — already-rendered shots are never re-billed. | | **3 · Assemble** | ffmpeg concatenates real + generated clips, overlays kinetic captions in your palette, mixes music normalized to **−14 LUFS**, and renders 16:9 + reframed 9:16. | ### You provide vs. reeljet generates | You provide (the substance) | reeljet / Higgsfield adds (the polish) | |---|---| | Screen recordings of the real UI | Animated screenshots, cinematic b-roll, transitions | | Screenshots + logo | Color palette, kinetic captions, logo end-card/CTA | | A one-line product brief | Hook, narrative arc, shot list, music match, the final cut | ## Quick start ```bash # 1. Install as a Claude Code skill git clone https://github.com/Xabilimon1/reeljet ln -snf "$PWD/reeljet" ~/.claude/skills/reeljet # 2. Prerequisites brew install ffmpeg # libass NOT required (captions use Pillow + overlay) python3 -m pip install pillow # pytest too, if you want to run the tests mkdir -p ~/reeljet/music-library # drop royalty-free tracks named mood_120bpm_genre.mp3 # (configurable — pass --library to pick_music.py) ``` Connect the **Higgsfield MCP** to your agent, then in Claude Code just say: ``` /reeljet ``` …and follow the 5 phases. See [`docs/SETUP.md`](docs/SETUP.md) for details. ## Output ``` ads/-/ ├── brief.md plan.md plan.json palette.json ├── frames/ # key frames from your recordings ├── generated/ # Higgsfield clips ├── captions/ # rendered caption overlays ├── master_16x9.mp4 # YouTube / landing hero └── master_9x16.mp4 # Reels / TikTok / Shorts ``` ## Features - 🎬 **Hybrid pipeline** — your real UI footage + AI-generated motion, never faked - 🎨 **Brand-aware** — palette extracted from your assets drives caption colors - 🪝 **Creative direction first** — hook, arc, and storyboard before any render - 💸 **Cost control** — credit estimate + hard approval gate; idempotent regeneration - 📐 **Multi-format** — master 16:9 with smart blurred-background reframe to 9:16 - 🔊 **Broadcast-ready audio** — music matched by mood/BPM, normalized to −14 LUFS - 🧱 **Portable** — captions render with Pillow + ffmpeg `overlay` (no libass needed) - ✅ **Tested** — 29 passing unit tests over the deterministic core ## Project layout ``` SKILL.md # the orchestration Claude Code follows (5 phases) references/ # creative-direction, higgsfield-tools, ffmpeg-recipes, music-selection scripts/ # deterministic, unit-tested Python lib/ # palette · colorutil · musiclib · caption_render · ffmpeg_cmd · plan_schema *.py # extract_palette · extract_frames · pick_music · assemble (CLIs) tests/ # pytest docs/ # design spec + implementation plan ``` The deterministic logic (palette, music match, captions, ffmpeg command building, plan validation) is fully unit-tested and **independent of Higgsfield**; the AI generation is driven by Claude at runtime through the Higgsfield MCP, with `plan.json` as the single source of truth. ## Tech Python 3 · Pillow · ffmpeg · [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) skill + MCP · [Higgsfield](https://higgsfield.ai) (Veo 3.1, Sora 2, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0, Soul). ## Roadmap - Native 9:16 caption layout (currently baked into the 16:9 master) - Optional voiceover / talking-avatar track - AI-generated music as an alternative to the local library - Square 1:1 export and Workflow fan-out for multi-variant batches ## License [MIT](LICENSE) © 2026 Xabier Ariznabarreta --- Keywords: Claude · Claude Code · Anthropic · Higgsfield · MCP · AI video generator · short-form video · Reels · TikTok · YouTube Shorts · Instagram Reels · SaaS marketing · product demo video · social media ads · ffmpeg · Veo · Sora · Kling · Seedance. ## Source & license This open-source MCP server is cataloged on AgentStack and links to its original source — we do not rehost the code. - **Author:** [Xabilimon1](https://github.com/Xabilimon1) - **Source:** [Xabilimon1/reeljet](https://github.com/Xabilimon1/reeljet) - **License:** MIT Install and usage instructions live in the source repository linked above. ## Pricing - **Free** — Free ## Security capabilities Automated source analysis of v0.1.0 — what this tool can access: - **Network access:** no - **Filesystem access:** no - **Shell / process execution:** no - **Environment & secrets:** no - **Dynamic code execution:** no *"Yes" means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it is unsafe.* ## Versions - **0.1.0** — security scan: passed — Imported from the upstream source. ## Links - Listing page: https://agentstack.voostack.com/l/mcp-xabilimon1-reeljet - Seller: https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/xabilimon1 - Browse the marketplace: https://agentstack.voostack.com/browse --- Listed on AgentStack — the marketplace for AI agent skills and MCP servers.
