Overview

Remotion is a framework for creating videos programmatically using React. Write video code that compiles to MP4 files, with support for interactive editing, batch rendering, and integration with coding agents. The platform offers multiple workflows: code-first development for complex video logic, interactive studio editing with drag-and-drop, and agent-driven video creation from natural language prompts.

Key capabilities include server-side and client-side rendering, design system creation for reusable animated assets, and deployment options via AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Run, or self-hosted infrastructure. Remotion powers music visualizations, captions, screencasts, and custom video applications.
