Why it's useful
Instead of one prompt and one clip, agents plan, script, gather footage, edit and render a whole video. A good starting point for automated channels.
What it needs
Python, FFmpeg, Node.js and a coding agent such as Claude Code. A free route uses local narration and free stock footage; paid AI video, image and voice models need your own keys.
