AI video generator that outputs React instead of video files
Hey HN! This is Mayank from Outscal with a new update. Our website is now live. Quick context: we built a tool that generates animated videos from text scripts. The twist: instead of rendering pixels, it outputs React/TSX components that render as the video. Try it: https://ai.outscal.com/ Sample video: https://outscal.com/v2/video/ai-constraints-m7p3_v1/12-01-26... You pick a style (pencil sketch or neon), enter a script (up to 2000 chars), and it runs: scene direction → ElevenLabs audio → SVG assets → Scene Design → React components →…

X-PilotApr 2026 · x-pilot.ai · ▲328Hi HN, I'm Heshan, founder of X-Pilot. We're building an AI Video Generator for online courses and educational content. Unlike most text-to-video generator that render videos directly from models (which often produce random stock footage unrelated to the actual content), we take a code-first approach: generate editable code layers, let users verify/refine them, then render to video. The Problem We're Solving Most AI video generators treat "education" and "marketing" the same—they optimize for "looks good" rather than "logically accurate." When you feed a technical tutorial or course…
I built a tool that creates videos out of React codeDec 2025 · github.com · ▲6The one-liner: You give it a script, it generates a portrait video in 10 minutes. No stock footage, no templates—it writes code that renders as video. ## Why I built this We were building game dev courses at Outscal and needed to produce a lot of video content fast. Traditional video production was slow. AI video generators looked weird. So we tried a different approach: what if video was just code? Turns out it works. We can replicate specific art styles, and the output is consistent and editable. ## What it can do - Generate 30-60 second shorts from a script - Match specific visual styles…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
