Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Remotion + Excalidraw + TTS with a single command:

This pulls remotion-excalidraw-tts from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/remotion-excalidraw-tts/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use Remotion + Excalidraw + TTS

Once installed, Remotion + Excalidraw + TTS activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Turning video into a finished short

Remotion + Excalidraw + TTS works with video. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — reframes to vertical, cleans the audio, cuts dead air, burns animated captions, and exports a version sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

It runs as an MCP server, so an OpenClaw agent can drive it from the same chat you already use: ask for a short, and the render comes back finished. See how to connect a video pipeline to your agent.
