cuda-course-remotion helps you make narrated course videos with an AI avatar on top. It automatically builds animated slideshows using Remotion, creates speech scripts with Gemini, and produces voice audio using ElevenLabs TTS. Finally, it combines these elements with a talking-head avatar into one video.
This tool includes a full example course, called CUDA Mastery. It has 10 modules. Each module is a 10-minute video with animated slides, narration, and an AI presenter.
