Envie

Type into your AI. Get a video.

Describe a video to your AI and get a real, verified video file back. Envie plugs into Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client, renders what your AI designs frame by frame, and runs the result through six verification gates before you see it. 3 free renders a day, then $3.00 AUD per video.

Built by GOL Productions, on the same conviction as Check: never trust unverified AI output.

Install

claude mcp add envie -- npx -y @golproductions/envie mcp

Or in any MCP config (Cursor, Windsurf, anything that speaks MCP):

{ "mcpServers": { "envie": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@golproductions/envie", "mcp"] } } }

Then just ask your AI:

make me a 15 second vertical launch video for my app

What happens

1. Your AI reads the authoring contract (envie_guide) and writes a composition: one self-contained HTML file. Any design, any motion, any format. No templates, no stock footage.
2. envie_render films it deterministically: headless Chrome, every animation seeked frame-by-frame, encoded with ffmpeg. Landscape, vertical (TikTok/Reels/Shorts), or square, up to 4K and 60fps. Delivers H.264 by default, or broadcast-grade H.265, ProRes 422 HQ / 4444, and DNxHR via --format. Narrated voiceover in sync.
3. Six verification gates inspect the result before you ever see it: real container, both streams, audible audio, no black segments, no freezes, no dead endings. A failing video is never handed over. Your AI gets the gate report and fixes it, the same loop you already use for code.
4. envie_translate reads the finished video back in full. It walks every frame and the whole audio track and turns the file into things an AI can actually judge: per-frame motion, integrated loudness and true peak, the timestamp of every audio hit, and how far each hit sits from the moment its on-screen content lands. It returns a spectrogram, a motion-vs-sound timeline, and a whole-film contact sheet, plus a self-contained HTML report. It does not pretend to hear or to watch: it translates every fact of both into a number or an image, and leaves taste to you.

Requirements

• Node 24
• Google Chrome installed (or set ENVIE_CHROME to your Chrome binary)
• ffmpeg on PATH
• Local voiceover currently supports Windows (SAPI). Other platforms: bring your own audio.

Free vs Pro

Free renders are full quality and fully verified, and carry a "Made with Envie" mark. Every machine gets 3 free renders a day.

Watermark-free renders are metered: $3 AUD per video, billed to your GOL account wallet at golproductions.com/envie. Add funds with Stripe in the console ($9 AUD covers three clean videos). Out of funds, you fall back to the free tier: 3 watermarked renders a day.

Set your key once and render clean:

claude mcp add envie -e ENVIE_LICENSE_KEY=gol_yourkey -- npx -y @golproductions/envie mcp

Keys are validated server-side on every render; billing is never client-side.
