Eden reelmimic/whiteboard 1.8k What it does
ReelMimic takes a reference video and a one-line brief and makes a new video in the same style. Drop in a file, a phone recording or a YouTube link, and it breaks down the shot lengths, BPM, transitions, colors, framing and camera moves, then shows you a storyboard, characters and style frames to approve.
It runs on your own computer through your Claude Code or Codex account, with up to 6 agents working on different parts of the video at once. Each finished shot goes to a different agent for review, every fix comes with before and after screenshots, and you can leave notes at any second of the finished video.
It covers 2D only, across seven drawing engines: vector motion graphics, hand-painted watercolor, crayon picture book, pixel art, paper cut-out stop-motion, whiteboard doodle and anime cel. It learns technique from the reference and never reuses its footage, characters or assets.
When to use it
- You saw a video and want one in that style, but your own
Give ReelMimic the video and a one-line brief, and it studies the pacing, framing and transitions to make a new video without carrying over the original assets.
- You want to approve the plan before any video gets made
It shows you the storyboard, characters, assets and style frames first, and you can chat about changes until you hit approve.
- You need a music video or narrated comic in a drawn style
It matches your reference to one of seven 2D engines, from hand-painted watercolor to pixel art, and makes a finished video like its 30 to 63 second demos.
Common questions
How do I install ReelMimic?
Clone the repo, run install.sh and then start.sh (install.bat and start.bat on Windows), and open localhost:4318. You need Node.js 22.18+, Python 3.10+, FFmpeg, Chrome and a logged-in Claude Code or Codex CLI.
Which agents does it work with?
Claude Code and Codex CLI. ReelMimic runs on your own computer, and you pick which one to use on its home page for each video. Claude Code picks up the skills in the repo on its own, and Codex reads AGENTS.md.
Is it free?
Yes. The code is MIT licensed, though the work counts toward your Claude Code or Codex account's usage. If you hit a limit, the job pauses and can pick up where it stopped. API keys in its settings add extras such as narration voices and more stock media.
How long does a video take?
A 30 to 60 second video usually takes 1 to 3.5 hours after you approve the plan, depending on the length and the look. Watercolor and crayon are the slowest, because ReelMimic paints every frame with brushes.
