cinecode turns Claude Code or Cursor into a film studio that builds every frame in code, with no video model

cinecodeFree, open source (MIT); runs locally inside Claude Code or Cursor

cinecode is a free, MIT-licensed skill kit that lets Claude Code or Cursor make short films, ads, explainers, music videos and documentaries of ten minutes or more on your own computer. The agent writes the script, builds every frame in code with Canvas or three.js, designs the sound and hands you a finished MP4.

What it does

Quick mode makes a film of up to about 3 minutes in one session: a few questions, a plan of beats and a director card, two scenes to approve as stills, a low-res draft and up to two revision rounds. Film mode goes through a roadmap, script, style frame and animatic for longer films, with eight look presets (cinematic realistic, anime, claymation, paper cut-out, synthwave and more), music cut to your song's beat grid and a -14 LUFS master.

Worth knowing

It needs Claude Code or Cursor plus Node.js 22+, Python 3.9+, ffmpeg and Chrome, and a GPU that Chrome can use; frames render in headless Chrome. Pictures cost no model fees; narration uses your own Gemini key (free tier), ElevenLabs or a free Turkish voice, and an image or video generator is used only if you connect one and ask. The README is written in Turkish first, with English, Chinese and Japanese versions.
