What This Skill Does
Best practices for creating videos programmatically with Remotion — a React-based video creation framework. Covers component structure, animation patterns, rendering optimization, and production workflows.
When to Use It
- Building video content with React/Remotion
- Optimizing Remotion rendering performance
- Structuring Remotion projects for maintainability
- Creating reusable video components and templates
Key Concepts
- Compositions — Define video dimensions, duration, and FPS
- Sequences — Time-based component mounting for animations
- useCurrentFrame — Frame-aware rendering for animations
- Spring animations — Physics-based motion
Best Practices
- Keep compositions small and composable
- Use
useCurrentFrame()for all time-dependent rendering - Pre-calculate expensive operations outside the render loop
- Test at low resolution before final high-quality renders
