Work in Claude Code with Claude Opus 4.5, or the closest equivalent you have. 2. Set up what the prompt expects: A blank Remotion project (bun create video --blank youtube-cta, then bun i); Remotion's agent skills, whose transparent-video skill the post announces. 3. Follow the prompt below. It is the creator's text, unedited. 4. To adapt it to a new subject or look: Swap the channel URL for yours, and change "white lower third", "black youtube subscribe button", and "Subscribe" / "Subscribed" for your own colors and button text. Keep "render it as a transparent prores video." so it layers over footage. - Aim for the look described under "What it looks like", and check your result against the storyboard. ## Prompt ```text use remotion best practices. this is our youtube channel: https://www.⁠youtube.⁠com/@⁠remotion_dev. use curl scrape youtube to find the avatar and the subscriber count. multiple subscriber counts appear on the page, find the right one. make a white lower third that slides in from the bottom center. show the name, subscriber count and avatar. display a typical fixed width black youtube subscribe button that changes from "Subscribe" to "Subscribed". use a ease-out animation and for pressing in the button and a spring animation with a slight bounce once the button is released. fade out the lower third. render it as a transparent prores video. ``` ## What it looks like Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator. A single YouTube-style lower third on a transparency checkerboard: a white card with Remotion's avatar, name, and 2.2K subscribers, beside a pill button. - Color: A white card with a soft shadow, black and bright-blue pill buttons, a blue play-shaped avatar, and grey secondary text, on the grey-and-white checkerboard that stands for transparency. - Type: A YouTube-like sans-serif: the channel name in bold, the subscriber count in small grey, and white button labels. - Framing: A wide 16:9 frame left almost empty, with the card low and centered. In the first frame the card is cut off by the bottom edge, and in the last it is half faded. - Structure: The card cut off at the bottom edge, then in place with a black Subscribe button, then with a blue Subscribed button, and finally half faded.
