Vibecode Revid AI
track this build5 steps, step by step0%Revid does not own a model or a render farm. The shots come from Seedance 2.0 and Gemini Omni Flash, the voice comes from ElevenLabs, and the stitch is ffmpeg. All three are public APIs with public docs, so the honest replacement is an agent skill that reads those docs and calls them: a project folder per video, a style file holding the look, aspect ratio, pacing, captions, and voice, and a cache so a re-render does not repay for unchanged shots. This is why it lands on yes where the older video tools on this site land on kinda. Those wrap encoding and editing infrastructure you would have to rebuild. Revid wraps three endpoints. What you are really paying for is that someone already wired them together and pointed them at a publishing button.
You are building a lean indie version of Revid AI. Create the following project files first, then implement the application by following them. Keep the files updated as decisions change. Do not collapse this into a single README or prompt. ===== README.md ===== # Revid AI indie build ## Goal Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Revid AI workflow for one developer or a tiny team. ## Scope Write a script, define a reusable style file, generate each shot through Seedance 2.0 or Gemini Omni Flash, narrate with ElevenLabs, burn captions from the word timings, and stitch to a single vertical mp4 with ffmpeg. ## Quick start 1. Install the documented dependencies. 2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`. 3. Run the development command chosen during implementation. 4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`. ## Honest limits This build deliberately does not replace: - the 3M+ viral video library to remix, which is a licensing problem and not a coding one - one-click publishing to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube - AI avatars, face swaps, and the 100+ prebuilt tools around the core generator - one predictable bill instead of three metered APIs you can overspend on in an afternoon - auto-mode workers grinding out videos while you are asleep If those capabilities are essential, use Remotion instead of pretending the gap is solved. ===== AGENTS.md ===== # Agent instructions - Optimize for a working, understandable weekend build. - Prefer the fewest moving parts that satisfy the brief. - Do not invent cryptography, security guarantees, APIs, or compliance claims. - Keep secrets out of source control and logs. - Add focused tests for destructive, security-sensitive, and data-loss paths. - Run the project checks before declaring the build complete. - Record any deliberate shortcut in the README under "Tradeoffs". ===== BUILD_PLAN.md ===== # Build plan ## Original build brief Build me a Claude Code skill that makes short-form videos to replace Revid AI. Requirements: - The deliverable is a skill folder, not a web app: SKILL.md plus a Node + TypeScript CLI run with tsx, no build step. ffmpeg does every stitch, mux, and caption burn-in. - Projects live in ./projects/<slug>/ with brief.md, script.md, shots.json, and a render/ folder, so everything about one video sits in one directory I can delete. - Styles are files, not prompts I retype: styles/<name>.json holds the look, aspect ratio, pacing, caption font and position, voice id, and a shot-prompt preamble. A project names one style and inherits all of it. - Generate each shot with Seedance 2.0 when it needs native audio or lip sync, or Gemini Omni Flash when I want to revise it conversationally without re-prompting · the choice is per shot in shots.json. Keys in .env. - Narrate with ElevenLabs where a shot has voiceover rather than native dialogue, and burn captions from the returned word timings, styled by the style file. - Cache every clip by a hash of its prompt plus style, so re-rendering a project never pays twice for a shot that did not change. - SKILL.md must tell the agent to read the live API docs before writing any call: replicate.com/bytedance/seedance-2.0, ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/video, and elevenlabs.io/docs. These models ship fast, so never write a request shape from memory. - No accounts, no telemetry, everything on my machine except the three model APIs. Secrets in .env with a committed .env.example. - Out of scope: publishing to TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, and any stock or viral-clip library. Do not build a web UI, the interface is the skill and the CLI. - README: the .env keys, how to install ffmpeg, and a worked cost estimate for a 30 second video at current per-second model prices, so I know what a render costs before I run it. ## Required capabilities - an agent that can read API docs and run code, such as Claude Code - Seedance 2.0 access via fal or Replicate - Google Gemini API key for Gemini Omni Flash - ElevenLabs API key - ffmpeg ## Delivery order 1. Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands. 2. Implement the primary data model and core workflow. 3. Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence. 4. Cover the critical path with automated tests. 5. Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step. ## Done when - A new user can go from clone to first successful workflow using only the README. - The core workflow works without paid infrastructure unless the brief requires it. - Tests cover the highest-risk behavior. - Known limitations are explicit rather than hidden. ===== .env.example ===== # Copy to .env and document every variable when it is introduced. # Never put real credentials in this file. APP_ENV=development # Add only values required by the selected implementation.

Contain the issue without destroying evidence or user data. 2. Record the timeline and affected scope. 3. Rotate exposed secrets and revoke compromised sessions or credentials. 4. Restore from a verified source when needed. 5. Document the root cause, remediation, and regression test. ## Launch constraint Do not market omitted Revid AI capabilities as implemented. The v1 non-goals in `PRODUCT.md` remain user-visible limitations until they are deliberately delivered.

They pay because the assembly is the product. Revid keeps up with whichever video model is currently best, absorbs the breakage when an API changes shape, and turns a finished render into a posted video without leaving the tab. A credit balance is also easier to reason about than three metered APIs, and for anyone who does not want to think about ffmpeg flags or per-second model pricing, that alone is worth the subscription.

Yes. A competent AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) can build a usable personal Revid AI replacement in one session with the prompt on this page. It runs on your own machine or server with no subscription.
How much does Revid AI cost?
Revid AI costs about $39/month (Growth, checked 2026-08-14), which is $468 per year. That's what you save by replacing it with one prompt.
What do I lose by replacing Revid AI?
Honestly: the 3M+ viral video library to remix, which is a licensing problem and not a coding one; one-click publishing to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube; AI avatars, face swaps, and the 100+ prebuilt tools around the core generator; one predictable bill instead of three metered APIs you can overspend on in an afternoon; auto-mode workers grinding out videos while you are asleep. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
Is there an open-source alternative to Revid AI?
Yes: MoneyPrinterTurbo (Give it a topic or script and it assembles footage, voice and captions; you supply the model keys and patience.) The prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
