name: remotion version: 1.0.0 description: "Programmatic video creation in React with Remotion. Use this skill whenever the user writes Remotion, npx create-video, remotion studio/render/still, useCurrentFrame/interpolate/Sequence, Composition, Mediabunny, or any React-driven video/animation/caption/motion-graphics task — including scaffolding a project, writing markup, rendering/exporting (incl. transparent), adding captions/subtitles, making Studio-editable animations, building a Remotion SaaS (Player/Lambda/Vercel/Cloudflare), or getting media metadata. Do NOT use for ffmpeg-only pipelines, video.js/players, WebRTC live streaming, framer-motion web animation, or After Effects." metadata: tags: [remotion, video, react, animation, composition, render, captions, saas]

Remotion Skills

This skill is a router for all Remotion video-creation operations. It mirrors the upstream remotion-dev/skills repository. Based on user intent, read the corresponding sub-skill SKILL.md before executing.

Sub-skills are authoritative. The files under each sub-skill directory are upstream content kept verbatim — do not edit them; re-sync from upstream instead. The table below is the index, the sub-skill SKILL.md is the instruction.

Sub-skill Index

Sub-skill	Entry	Use When
New Project	remotion-create/remotion-create.md	Scaffold a new Remotion project (npx create-video), design a video, start the Studio preview
React Markup	remotion-markup/remotion-markup.md	Writing Remotion React markup — the core: animations, media, sequences, timing, fonts, effects, maps, Lottie, DOM measurement, transitions, trimming
Rendering	remotion-render/remotion-render.md	Rendering videos and stills (npx remotion render/still), transparent videos
Captions	remotion-captions/remotion-captions.md	Transcribing, importing SRT, and displaying captions/subtitles
Interactivity	remotion-interactivity/remotion-interactivity.md	Making animations editable in Remotion Studio Visual Mode
SaaS / Apps	remotion-saas/remotion-saas.md	Building video apps — <Player>, rendering on Lambda/Vercel/Cloudflare/Node, client-side rendering, choosing a framework
Mediabunny	mediabunny/mediabunny.md	Multimedia handling in the browser — get audio/video duration, get video dimensions

How to route

1. Identify the user's intent against the Use When column.
2. If the task spans several domains (e.g. "build a Remotion SaaS that renders captions"), load each relevant sub-skill in the order the task needs them.
3. Read the sub-skill's entry file (<name>/<name>.md, denested from SKILL.md so sub-skills are not auto-discovered), then follow any references/-style .md files it points to (each sub-skill folder carries its own detail files).
4. Sub-skills reference each other via relative paths like ../remotion-markup/remotion-markup.md — these resolve within this remotion/ directory.

Notes on cross-references

Some upstream sub-skill files contain links like [Remotion Best Practices](../remotion-best-practices/remotion-best-practices.md). remotion-best-practices/ is a local shim (not an upstream sub-skill) that forwards to this top-level router — treat those links as "go back to the Remotion router" (i.e. this file). All other sibling cross-references (../remotion-markup/remotion-markup.md, ../remotion-captions/remotion-captions.md, etc.) resolve correctly.
