Add Quick vs Full comparison to video generation guide
Adds a decision table at the top of the guide comparing OpenClaw's built-in
video_generate tool (zero-setup, prompt-based) vs Remotion (full React
framework, templates, branding). Helps users pick the right approach.
|**Control**| Prompt-only — you describe, AI generates | Full creative control — React components, animations, layouts |
25
+
|**Customization**| Limited to what the AI model produces | Unlimited — any React code, custom fonts, charts, 3D |
26
+
|**Reproducibility**| Each generation is unique | Deterministic — same props = same video |
27
+
|**Cost**| Per-generation API cost | Free local rendering + optional API costs for assets |
28
+
|**Example**|`"Make a 5-second hello world clip"`| Templated TikTok series, data dashboards, branded intros |

**Start with `video_generate`** if you just want a quick video from a text prompt — no setup needed:
31
+
32
+
```
33
+
openclaw chat "Generate a 5-second video of a hello world animation"
34
+
```
35
+
36
+
**Use Remotion** when you need templates, branding, recurring content, or pixel-perfect control. The rest of this guide covers the Remotion path.

[Remotion](https://remotion.dev) is a React-based framework for creating videos programmatically. Instead of dragging timelines in a video editor, you write React components that render frame-by-frame into MP4, WebM, or GIF files.
