It works with Claude Code and Codex. The code is on GitHub at edenfunf/reelmimic.
Free & open source (MIT). All the work runs on your own Claude Code or Codex plan, and one 30-60 second video can take 1 to 3.5 hours of agent time. Voice and stock-media keys (ElevenLabs, Pixabay, Freesound) are optional.
