Make animated videos with Remotion and ChatGPT Codex
Kevin Stratvert installs the Remotion plugin in ChatGPT's Codex and prompts it to build an animated business intro, a transparent lower third for existing footage, and an animated bar chart from sales data, then exports MP4 or ProRes 4444.

Using @Remotion, create a short animated introduction for my small business, <business name>. Include animated text, graphics and smooth transitions. Then: have a giant <object> drop onto the screen with a little screen shake before revealing the company name.
Visual breakdown
With the Remotion plugin inside ChatGPT's Codex agent, Kevin prompts his way to an animated intro, a transparent lower third and an animated sales chart, with no code written by hand. Each took about two to four minutes.
The problem: Making motion graphics normally means writing code or learning animation software.

Tips from the video
- Use @Remotion in the prompt so Codex uses it.
- You can have ChatGPT help write your prompt.
- Ask Codex for a ProRes file if you did not get one, or pick ProRes 4444 when rendering.
- Usage varies with project complexity and the model you choose.
- Remotion is free for individuals and small teams; ChatGPT plan limits are separate.

Igor from The AI Advantage points ChatGPT (or Codex/Claude) at the open-source Reverse Engineer Anything repo, inside a project with folder access, and asks it to make a version of an app he paid for. He recreated Screen Brush as AIA Ink and a Slido clone.
Futurepedia picks one of 86 explainer styles, adds a topic, and pastes the copied prompt into Claude. Claude shows a storyboard first, then generates the whole explainer in code with sound effects.
