Claude Code Video Skills: A Developer's Practical Guide to All 6 Options (2026)

Claude Code now has six video generation skills - Remotion, HeyGen, inference.sh, Pexo, Higgsfield, and digitalsamba's Video Toolkit - and they solve completely different engineering problems. I've been building internal tooling that requires automated video output, so I installed all six and ran them through real de workflows: CI-triggered product s, data dashboard recordings, batch asset generation, and API-driven content pipelines. This post breaks down what each skill actually does under the hood, when to pick which, and the installation gotchas nobody warns you about.
