Vidiski

Vidiski is an AI launch-video studio that turns any homepage URL into a polished 30-second vertical promo.

Our goal is simple: remove the gap between building a product and telling its story. Founders ship fast, but content production is still slow and expensive. Vidiski compresses that workflow into one flow: URL in, editable narrative out, MP4 exported.

Why Vidiski Exists

Early-stage teams move quickly, but go-to-market content usually becomes a bottleneck:

• scripting takes time
• motion design is specialized
• iteration cycles are expensive
• launch windows are short

Vidiski solves this by combining scraping, structured AI copy generation, scene editing, and automated rendering in one product surface.

Product Experience

1. Paste a homepage URL.
2. Vidiski scrapes the page and extracts core marketing signals.
3. AI generates a structured 4-scene video blueprint.
4. User edits copy, bullets, and animation style in the studio.
5. Vidiski renders a 1080x1920 MP4 and returns it for preview/download.

Video format is fixed for launch velocity:

• 30 seconds
• 30 fps
• 9:16 vertical
• 4 scenes (pain, solution, benefits, CTA)

• OpenAI gpt-4o-mini
• Structured Outputs (json_schema) for reliable typed responses
  • marketing profile extraction
  • blueprint generation
  • scene enhancement
  • variant generation

Scraping + Capture

• Playwright for page loading and extraction
• DOM cleanup to remove noisy layout elements
• full-page screenshot capture for video backgrounds

Video Rendering

• Remotion 4 (@remotion/bundler, @remotion/renderer)
• server-side MP4 rendering pipeline
• animated text, scene themes, gradients, and screenshot overlays

Runtime + Deployment

Architecture Overview

API Routes

• POST /api/generate

  • validates URL
  • scrapes site + screenshot
  • extracts MarketingProfile
  • generates and sanitizes VideoBlueprint
  • starts async render job

• POST /api/render

  • re-renders user-edited blueprint

• GET /api/render-status/[jobId]

  • returns job state (queued, rendering, done, error) + progress

• POST /api/enhance-scene

  • rewrites one scene with user instruction

• POST /api/regenerate-blueprint

  • regenerates blueprint or returns 2-3 style variants

Core Libraries

• src/lib/scraper.ts - Playwright extraction
• src/lib/openai.ts - AI prompts + structured schemas
• src/lib/blueprint.ts - strict scene normalization
• src/lib/render-queue.ts - async render orchestration
• src/remotion/* - composition, themes, animations, scenes

Local Development

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• npm

1) Install dependencies

npm install

2) Configure environment

Create .env in project root:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key

3) Install Playwright browser (first run)

npx playwright install chromium

4) Run app

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000.

---

Scripts

• npm run dev - start local dev server
• npm run build - production build + type check
• npm run start - run production server
• npm run lint - lint app
• npm run remotion:studio - open Remotion Studio

---

Current Product Focus

Vidiski is intentionally opinionated right now:

• no auth
• no database
• no billing

This keeps iteration speed high while validating the core loop: generation quality, editing ergonomics, and render reliability.

---

Roadmap Direction

• richer scene-level previews (still frames / motion previews)
• stronger style systems and brand adaptation
• production media storage strategy (object storage)
• collaboration and workspace features
• publishing and distribution integrations

---

Vision

Vidiski aims to become the fastest path from product page to launch-ready storytelling.

When teams can explain value clearly, they move faster. Vidiski exists to make that moment immediate.
