Remotion Video Toolkit

Remotion Video Toolkit

Write React components, get real MP4 videos. This skill teaches your AI agent how to build with Remotion — from a first animation to a production rendering pipeline.

29 rules. Every major Remotion feature covered.

What you can build with this

Personalized video at scale

Feed user data as JSON props, render a unique video per user. Think Spotify Wrapped, GitHub Unwrapped, onboarding walkthroughs — one template, thousands of outputs.

Automated social media clips

Pull live data (stats, leaderboards, product metrics) and render daily or weekly video posts without anyone touching a timeline editor.

Dynamic ads and marketing videos

Swap in customer name, product image, pricing. Same template, infinite variations. Render server-side via API or Lambda.

Animated data visualizations

Turn dashboards and KPI reports into shareable video clips with animated charts and transitions.

TikTok and Reels captions

Transcribe audio, display word-by-word highlighted subtitles, export ready for upload.

Product showcase videos

Auto-generate from your database — images, specs, pricing — straight to MP4.

Educational and explainer content

Animated course materials, certificate videos, step-by-step walkthroughs — all driven by code.

Video generation as a service

Expose rendering as an HTTP endpoint. Your app sends JSON, gets back a video file.
