Example applications and companion code for Shotstack guides and tutorials.
Clone this repository, or open the directory of the example you want. Each example has its own README. The README gives the API keys and the setup steps for that example.
- instagram-ai-video generates a script, voiceover and background image with AI, renders a 1080x1920 video, and publishes it as an Instagram Reel. Companion code for How to automate Instagram posts with AI video.
- rapidreels creates faceless short-form videos using generative AI. View demo.
- reelestate turns static real estate images into fully edited video slideshows. View demo.
To make a new example, copy examples/_template. Then read STANDARDS.md. It gives the rules for API keys, failures, README structure, and the checks to do before you make a pull request.
Install the Shotstack CLI and its skill before you use a coding agent, such as Claude Code, on these examples:
npm install -g @shotstack/cli
npx skills add shotstack/shotstack-cliThe skill gives the agent the rules to write Edit JSON. These rules are easy to get wrong. The shotstack validate <file> command then checks a template on your computer. It does not need an API key, and it does not use render credits. For more data, see the agent guide.
