AI product Open source
ReelMimic is a local 2D animation tool that uses Claude Code or Codex to create a new video from a reference video and a brief. It analyzes the reference's shot count, pacing, BPM, transitions, framing, colors, and camera movements, then produces a storyboard, character and asset plan, and style frames for approval. After approval, multiple AI agents build different parts in parallel, while separate agents review completed shots and request fixes with before-and-after screenshots. The tool supports seven drawing engines: vector/motion graphics, hand-painted watercolor, crayon picture book, pixel art, paper cut-out stop-motion, whiteboard doodle, and anime cel; new styles are defined in Markdown. It runs on the user's computer, uses the user's Claude Code or Codex account, and does not reuse the reference video's footage, characters, logos, or assets. The repository is MIT-licensed and has been tested primarily on Windows, with macOS and Linux support described as less tested.
