Remotion Best Practices
When & Why to Use This Skill
This Claude skill provides a comprehensive suite of best practices and architectural patterns for Remotion, the React-based framework for programmatic video creation. It equips developers with domain-specific knowledge to build high-quality, scalable video components, covering essential topics such as 3D integration with Three.js, dynamic metadata calculation, automated captioning, and performance optimization for web-based video rendering.
Use Cases
- Developing programmatic video templates with complex React-based animations, easing curves, and scene transitions.
- Integrating and synchronizing external assets including audio, Lottie files, and GIFs within the Remotion timeline for dynamic content.
- Automating the generation of data-driven videos using dynamic charts, SVG visualizations, and real-time metadata calculations.
- Implementing advanced video features like automated audio transcription, SRT subtitle imports, and TikTok-style word highlighting.
- Optimizing video rendering workflows by measuring DOM nodes, fitting text to containers, and ensuring browser-compatible decoding using Mediabunny.
