Overview

What is Video Overlay Kit?

Video Overlay Kit renders animated b-roll overlay videos for short-form social media. It produces 4–6 second MP4s with real motion — icons popping in, list rows revealing one by one, flow arrows drawing between nodes, comparison sides sliding in, and hub nodes orbiting a centre. It outputs portrait (1080×1920) for LinkedIn, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok, and landscape (1920×1080) for YouTube; components reflow when the aspect ratio is flipped.

How to use Video Overlay Kit?

Drop Video Overlay Kit into any AI tool that speaks MCP — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, OpenCode, etc. Paste your script into the chat, and the model reads it, picks icons from Tabler’s 5000+ set, decides which visual beat fits (flow diagram, comparison, list reveal, etc.), writes a validated scene spec, and renders the MP4. Install by adding the following JSON to your AI tool’s MCP config and running npx -y @alichherawalla/video-overlay-kit.

Key features of Video Overlay Kit

  • Eight track kinds: title-overlay, list-reveal, flow, comparison, hub, icon, text, lottie
  • Built on Remotion for timeline and motion primitives, Tabler icons, LottieFiles, Zod (scene spec), and Pydantic (MCP side)
  • Exposes three MCP tools: list_icons, validate_scene, render_scene
  • No accounts, no per-render cost — free and MIT licensed
  • Fully local; your script never leaves your machine unless your AI tool sends it elsewhere

Use cases of Video Overlay Kit

  • Create animated overlay videos for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, and TikTok
  • Generate flow diagrams that draw connections between nodes automatically from a script
  • Build comparison slides that slide in from opposite edges for product demos or before/after visuals
  • Produce list reveal sequences where items appear one by one on a rhythmic cadence
  • Add orbiting hub nodes and animated icons to explain conceptual relationships
