CineCode FAQ

Does CineCode need an AI video model or Remotion?

No. The coding agent writes the scenes, Chrome renders them frame by frame, and FFmpeg produces the MP4. You can mix those scenes with your own footage, photos, or recordings.

Is CineCode free? Do I need an API key?

CineCode is open source and renders on your computer without a separate rendering fee. Your coding agent can have its own usage limits or fees. If you want a voiceover, you can use your own recording. Services such as Gemini TTS or ElevenLabs require their own credentials.

Can I use CineCode with Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex?

The original project documents Claude Code and Cursor. With Codex, you can edit and render our downloadable template or try the independent community adapter. The original approval hooks run in Claude Code.

Can CineCode make longer YouTube videos?

Yes. Use Film mode when you need chapters and want to review the script and scenes before exporting. The project’s creator used CineCode to make an eight-minute documentary with coded scenes, archival material, and narration.

Can I change the video after exporting it?

Yes. Keep the project folder, including the scene code and assets. Reopen it in your coding agent and give it a specific note, such as asking it to hold the end card for one more second. Preview the change and render a new MP4.
