Create Your First Video

In Claude Code, run:

/video

This will:

Scan for existing projects (resume or create new)
Choose template (sprint-review, product-demo)
Choose brand (or create one with /brand)
Plan scenes interactively
Create project with VOICEOVER-SCRIPT.md

Multi-session support: Projects span multiple sessions. Run /video to resume where you left off.

Then iterate with Claude Code to record demos, refine content, and render.
