Video Shotcraft Product Promos

• Automatically applies your branding to Shiny web apps and Quarto documents
• Supports light and dark mode variants for colors and logos
• Integrates with Google Fonts and custom typography
• Works across HTML reports, dashboards, slides, and PDFs

Video Shotcraft Product Promos

• Captures real screenshots of your product pages to use in the video
• Builds a storyboard from a library of over 120 cinematic shot recipes
• Matches fonts, colors, and style to your product's own design
• Syncs cuts and motion to the beat of your chosen music and adds sound effects
• Delivers a finished MP4, with and without background music
