## When to use
Use this skills whenever you are dealing with Remotion code to obtain the domain-specific knowledge.
## New project setup
When in an empty folder or workspace with no existing Remotion project, scaffold one using:
```bash
npx create-video@latest --yes --blank --no-tailwind my-video
```
Replace `my-video` with a suitable project name.
## Starting preview
Stsrt the Remotion Studio to preview a video:
```bash
npx remotion studio
```
## Optional: one-frame render check
You can render a single frame with the CLI to sanity-check layout, colors, or timing.
Skip it for trivial edits, pure refactors, or when you already have enough confidence from Studio or prior renders.
```bash
npx remotion still [composition-id] --scale=0.25 --frame=30
```
At 30 fps, `--frame=30` is the one-second mark (`--frame` is zero-based).
## Captions
When dealing with captions or subtitles, load the [./rules/subtitles.md](./rules/subtitles.md) file for more information.
## Using FFmpeg
For some video operations, such as trimming videos or detecting silence, FFmpeg should be used. Load the [./rules/ffmpeg.md](./rules/ffmpeg.md) file for more information.
## Silence detection
When needing to detect and trim silent segments from video or audio files, load the [./rules/silence-detection.md](./rules/silence-detection.md) file.
## Audio visualization
When needing to visualize audio (spectrum bars, waveforms, bass-reactive effects), load the [./rules/audio-visualization.md](./rules/audio-visualization.md) file for more information.
## Sound effects
When needing to use sound effects, load the [./rules/sfx.md](./rules/sfx.md) file for more information.

# Using Three.js and React Three Fiber in Remotion
Follow React Three Fiber and Three.js best practices.
Only the following Remotion-specific rules need to be followed:
## Prerequisites
First, the `@remotion/three` package needs to be installed.
If it is not, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/three # If project uses npm
bunx remotion add @remotion/three # If project uses bun
yarn remotion add @remotion/three # If project uses yarn
pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/three # If project uses pnpm
```
## Using ThreeCanvas
You MUST wrap 3D content in `<ThreeCanvas>` and include proper lighting.
`<ThreeCanvas>` MUST have a `width` and `height` prop.
```tsx
import { ThreeCanvas } from "@remotion/three";
import { useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
const { width, height } = useVideoConfig();
<ThreeCanvas width={width} height={height}>
<ambientLight intensity={0.4} />
<directionalLight position={[5, 5, 5]} intensity={0.8} />
<mesh>
<sphereGeometry args={[1, 32, 32]} />
<meshStandardMaterial color="red" />
</mesh>
</ThreeCanvas>;
```
## No animations not driven by `useCurrentFrame()`
Shaders, models etc MUST NOT animate by themselves.
No animations are allowed unless they are driven by `useCurrentFrame()`.
Otherwise, it will cause flickering during rendering.
Using `useFrame()` from `@react-three/fiber` is forbidden.
## Animate using `useCurrentFrame()`
Use `useCurrentFrame()` to perform animations.
```tsx
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const rotationY = frame * 0.02;
<mesh rotation={[0, rotationY, 0]}>
<boxGeometry args={[2, 2, 2]} />
<meshStandardMaterial color="#4a9eff" />
</mesh>;
```
## Using `<Sequence>` inside `<ThreeCanvas>`
The `layout` prop of any `<Sequence>` inside a `<ThreeCanvas>` must be set to `none`.
```tsx
import { Sequence } from "remotion";
import { ThreeCanvas } from "@remotion/three";
const { width, height } = useVideoConfig();
<ThreeCanvas width={width} height={height}>
<Sequence layout="none">
<mesh>
<boxGeometry args={[2, 2, 2]} />
<meshStandardMaterial color="#4a9eff" />
</mesh>
</Sequence>
</ThreeCanvas>;
```

name: animations
description: Fundamental animation skills for Remotion
metadata:
tags: animations, transitions, frames, useCurrentFrame
---
All animations MUST be driven by the `useCurrentFrame()` hook.
Write animations in seconds and multiply them by the `fps` value from `useVideoConfig()`.
For eased motion, prefer `interpolate` with explicit frame ranges and an easing—especially `Easing.bezier`, which matches CSS `cubic-bezier` so timing can be shared with web specs and curve editors. See [timing](./timing.md).
```tsx
import { useCurrentFrame, Easing } from "remotion";
export const FadeIn = () => {
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const opacity = interpolate(frame, [0, 2 * fps], [0, 1], {
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
easing: Easing.bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1),
});
return <div style={{ opacity }}>Hello World!</div>;
};
```
CSS transitions or animations are FORBIDDEN - they will not render correctly.
Tailwind animation class names are FORBIDDEN - they will not render correctly.

# Importing assets in Remotion
## The public folder
Place assets in the `public/` folder at your project root.
## Using staticFile()
You MUST use `staticFile()` to reference files from the `public/` folder:
```tsx
import { Img, staticFile } from "remotion";
export const MyComposition = () => {
return <Img src={staticFile("logo.png")} />;
};
```
The function returns an encoded URL that works correctly when deploying to subdirectories.
## Using with components
**Images:**
```tsx
import { Img, staticFile } from "remotion";
<Img src={staticFile("photo.png")} />;
```
**Videos:**
```tsx
import { Video } from "@remotion/media";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
<Video src={staticFile("clip.mp4")} />;
```
**Audio:**
```tsx
import { Audio } from "@remotion/media";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
<Audio src={staticFile("music.mp3")} />;
```
**Fonts:**
```tsx
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
const fontFamily = new FontFace("MyFont", `url(${staticFile("font.woff2")})`);
await fontFamily.load();
document.fonts.add(fontFamily);
```
## Remote URLs
Remote URLs can be used directly without `staticFile()`:
```tsx
<Img src="https://example.com/image.png" />
<Video src="https://remotion.media/video.mp4" />
```
## Important notes
- Remotion components (`<Img>`, `<Video>`, `<Audio>`) ensure assets are fully loaded before rendering
- Special characters in filenames (`#`, `?`, `&`) are automatically encoded

# Audio Visualization in Remotion
## Prerequisites
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/media-utils
```
## Loading Audio Data
Use `useWindowedAudioData()` (https://www.remotion.dev/docs/use-windowed-audio-data) to load audio data:
```tsx
import { useWindowedAudioData } from "@remotion/media-utils";
import { staticFile, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const { audioData, dataOffsetInSeconds } = useWindowedAudioData({
src: staticFile("podcast.wav"),
frame,
fps,
windowInSeconds: 30,
});
```
## Spectrum Bar Visualization
Use `visualizeAudio()` (https://www.remotion.dev/docs/visualize-audio) to get frequency data for bar charts:
```tsx
import { useWindowedAudioData, visualizeAudio } from "@remotion/media-utils";
import { staticFile, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const { audioData, dataOffsetInSeconds } = useWindowedAudioData({
src: staticFile("music.mp3"),
frame,
fps,
windowInSeconds: 30,
});
if (!audioData) {
return null;
}
const frequencies = visualizeAudio({
fps,
frame,
audioData,
numberOfSamples: 256,
optimizeFor: "speed",
dataOffsetInSeconds,
});
return (
<div style={{ display: "flex", alignItems: "flex-end", height: 200 }}>
{frequencies.map((v, i) => (
<div
key={i}
style={{
flex: 1,
height: `${v * 100}%`,
backgroundColor: "#0b84f3",
margin: "0 1px",
}}
/>
))}
</div>
);
```
- `numberOfSamples` must be power of 2 (32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024)
- Values range 0-1; left of array = bass, right = highs
- Use `optimizeFor: "speed"` for Lambda or high sample counts
**Important:** When passing `audioData` to child components, also pass the `frame` from the parent. Do not call `useCurrentFrame()` in each child - this causes discontinuous visualization when children are inside `<Sequence>` with offsets.
## Waveform Visualization
Use `visualizeAudioWaveform()` (https://www.remotion.dev/docs/media-utils/visualize-audio-waveform) with `createSmoothSvgPath()` (https://www.remotion.dev/docs/media-utils/create-smooth-svg-path) for oscilloscope-style displays:
```tsx
import {
createSmoothSvgPath,
useWindowedAudioData,
visualizeAudioWaveform,
} from "@remotion/media-utils";
import { staticFile, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { width, fps } = useVideoConfig();
const HEIGHT = 200;
const { audioData, dataOffsetInSeconds } = useWindowedAudioData({
src: staticFile("voice.wav"),
frame,
fps,
windowInSeconds: 30,
});
if (!audioData) {
return null;
}
const waveform = visualizeAudioWaveform({
fps,
frame,
audioData,
numberOfSamples: 256,
windowInSeconds: 0.5,
dataOffsetInSeconds,
});
const path = createSmoothSvgPath({
points: waveform.map((y, i) => ({
x: (i / (waveform.length - 1)) * width,
y: HEIGHT / 2 + (y * HEIGHT) / 2,
})),
});
return (
<svg width={width} height={HEIGHT}>
<path d={path} fill="none" stroke="#0b84f3" strokeWidth={2} />
</svg>
);
```
## Bass-Reactive Effects
Extract low frequencies for beat-reactive animations:
```tsx
const frequencies = visualizeAudio({
fps,
frame,
audioData,
numberOfSamples: 128,
optimizeFor: "speed",
dataOffsetInSeconds,
});
const lowFrequencies = frequencies.slice(0, 32);
const bassIntensity =
lowFrequencies.reduce((sum, v) => sum + v, 0) / lowFrequencies.length;
const scale = 1 + bassIntensity * 0.5;
const opacity = Math.min(0.6, bassIntensity * 0.8);
```
## Volume-Based Waveform
Use `getWaveformPortion()` (https://www.remotion.dev/docs/get-waveform-portion) when you need simplified volume data instead of frequency spectrum:
```tsx
import { getWaveformPortion } from "@remotion/media-utils";
import { useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const currentTimeInSeconds = frame / fps;
const waveform = getWaveformPortion({
audioData,
startTimeInSeconds: currentTimeInSeconds,
durationInSeconds: 5,
numberOfSamples: 50,
});
// Returns array of { index, amplitude } objects (amplitude: 0-1)
waveform.map((bar) => (
<div key={bar.index} style={{ height: bar.amplitude * 100 }} />
));
```
## Postprocessing
Low frequencies naturally dominate. Apply logarithmic scaling for visual balance:
```tsx
const minDb = -100;
const maxDb = -30;
const scaled = frequencies.map((value) => {
const db = 20 * Math.log10(value);
return (db - minDb) / (maxDb - minDb);
});
```

description: Using audio and sound in Remotion - importing, trimming, volume, speed, pitch
metadata:
tags: audio, media, trim, volume, speed, loop, pitch, mute, sound, sfx
---
# Using audio in Remotion
## Prerequisites
First, the @remotion/media package needs to be installed.
If it is not installed, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/media
```
## Importing Audio
Use `<Audio>` from `@remotion/media` to add audio to your composition.
```tsx
import { Audio } from "@remotion/media";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
export const MyComposition = () => {
return <Audio src={staticFile("audio.mp3")} />;
};
```
Remote URLs are also supported:
```tsx
<Audio src="https://remotion.media/audio.mp3" />
```
By default, audio plays from the start, at full volume and full length.
Multiple audio tracks can be layered by adding multiple `<Audio>` components.
## Trimming
Use `trimBefore` and `trimAfter` to remove portions of the audio. Values are in frames.
```tsx
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<Audio
src={staticFile("audio.mp3")}
trimBefore={2 * fps} // Skip the first 2 seconds
trimAfter={10 * fps} // End at the 10 second mark
/>
);
```
The audio still starts playing at the beginning of the composition - only the specified portion is played.
## Delaying
Wrap the audio in a `<Sequence>` to delay when it starts:
```tsx
import { Sequence, staticFile } from "remotion";
import { Audio } from "@remotion/media";
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<Sequence from={1 * fps}>
<Audio src={staticFile("audio.mp3")} />
</Sequence>
);
```
The audio will start playing after 1 second.
## Volume
Set a static volume (0 to 1):
```tsx
<Audio src={staticFile("audio.mp3")} volume={0.5} />
```
Or use a callback for dynamic volume based on the current frame:
```tsx
import { interpolate } from "remotion";
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<Audio
src={staticFile("audio.mp3")}
volume={(f) =>
interpolate(f, [0, 1 * fps], [0, 1], { extrapolateRight: "clamp" })
}
/>
);
```
The value of `f` starts at 0 when the audio begins to play, not the composition frame.
## Muting
Use `muted` to silence the audio. It can be set dynamically:
```tsx
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<Audio
src={staticFile("audio.mp3")}
muted={frame >= 2 * fps && frame <= 4 * fps} // Mute between 2s and 4s
/>
);
```
## Speed
Use `playbackRate` to change the playback speed:
```tsx
<Audio src={staticFile("audio.mp3")} playbackRate={2} /> {/* 2x speed */}
<Audio src={staticFile("audio.mp3")} playbackRate={0.5} /> {/* Half speed */}
```
Reverse playback is not supported.
## Looping
Use `loop` to loop the audio indefinitely:
```tsx
<Audio src={staticFile("audio.mp3")} loop />
```
Use `loopVolumeCurveBehavior` to control how the frame count behaves when looping:
- `"repeat"`: Frame count resets to 0 each loop (default)
- `"extend"`: Frame count continues incrementing
```tsx
<Audio
src={staticFile("audio.mp3")}
loop
loopVolumeCurveBehavior="extend"
volume={(f) => interpolate(f, [0, 300], [1, 0])} // Fade out over multiple loops
/>
```
## Pitch
Use `toneFrequency` to adjust the pitch without affecting speed. Values range from 0.01 to 2:
```tsx
<Audio
src={staticFile("audio.mp3")}
toneFrequency={1.5} // Higher pitch
/>
<Audio
src={staticFile("audio.mp3")}
toneFrequency={0.8} // Lower pitch
/>
```
Pitch shifting only works during server-side rendering, not in the Remotion Studio preview or in the `<Player />`.

# Using calculateMetadata
Use `calculateMetadata` on a `<Composition>` to dynamically set duration, dimensions, and transform props before rendering.
```tsx
<Composition
id="MyComp"
component={MyComponent}
durationInFrames={300}
fps={30}
width={1920}
height={1080}
defaultProps={{ videoSrc: "https://remotion.media/video.mp4" }}
calculateMetadata={calculateMetadata}
/>
```
## Setting duration based on a video
Use the [`getVideoDuration`](./get-video-duration.md) and [`getVideoDimensions`](./get-video-dimensions.md) skills to get the video duration and dimensions:
```tsx
import { CalculateMetadataFunction } from "remotion";
import { getVideoDuration } from "./get-video-duration";
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
}) => {
const durationInSeconds = await getVideoDuration(props.videoSrc);
return {
durationInFrames: Math.ceil(durationInSeconds * 30),
};
};
```
## Matching dimensions of a video
Use the [`getVideoDimensions`](./get-video-dimensions.md) skill to get the video dimensions:
```tsx
import { CalculateMetadataFunction } from "remotion";
import { getVideoDuration } from "./get-video-duration";
import { getVideoDimensions } from "./get-video-dimensions";
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
}) => {
const dimensions = await getVideoDimensions(props.videoSrc);
return {
width: dimensions.width,
height: dimensions.height,
};
};
```
## Setting duration based on multiple videos
```tsx
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
}) => {
const metadataPromises = props.videos.map((video) =>
getVideoDuration(video.src),
);
const allMetadata = await Promise.all(metadataPromises);
const totalDuration = allMetadata.reduce(
(sum, durationInSeconds) => sum + durationInSeconds,
0,
);
return {
durationInFrames: Math.ceil(totalDuration * 30),
};
};
```
## Setting a default outName
Set the default output filename based on props:
```tsx
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
}) => {
return {
defaultOutName: `video-${props.id}`, // .mp4 is added automatically
};
};
```
## Transforming props
Fetch data or transform props before rendering:
```tsx
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
abortSignal,
}) => {
const response = await fetch(props.dataUrl, { signal: abortSignal });
const data = await response.json();
return {
props: {
...props,
fetchedData: data,
},
};
};
```
The `abortSignal` cancels stale requests when props change in the Studio.
## Return value
All fields are optional. Returned values override the `<Composition>` props:
- `durationInFrames`: Number of frames
- `width`: Composition width in pixels
- `height`: Composition height in pixels
- `fps`: Frames per second
- `props`: Transformed props passed to the component
- `defaultOutName`: Default output filename
- `defaultCodec`: Default codec for rendering

# Checking if a video can be decoded
Use Mediabunny to check if a video can be decoded by the browser before attempting to play it.
First, install the right version of Mediabunny:
```bash
npx remotion add mediabunny
```
## The `canDecode()` function
This function can be copy-pasted into any project.
```tsx
import { Input, ALL_FORMATS, UrlSource } from "mediabunny";
export const canDecode = async (src: string) => {
const input = new Input({
formats: ALL_FORMATS,
source: new UrlSource(src, {
getRetryDelay: () => null,
}),
});
try {
await input.getFormat();
} catch {
return false;
}
const videoTrack = await input.getPrimaryVideoTrack();
if (videoTrack && !(await videoTrack.canDecode())) {
return false;
}
const audioTrack = await input.getPrimaryAudioTrack();
if (audioTrack && !(await audioTrack.canDecode())) {
return false;
}
return true;
};
```
## Usage
```tsx
const src = "https://remotion.media/video.mp4";
const isDecodable = await canDecode(src);
if (isDecodable) {
console.log("Video can be decoded");
} else {
console.log("Video cannot be decoded by this browser");
}
```
## Using with Blob
For file uploads or drag-and-drop, use `BlobSource`:
```tsx
import { Input, ALL_FORMATS, BlobSource } from "mediabunny";
export const canDecodeBlob = async (blob: Blob) => {
const input = new Input({
formats: ALL_FORMATS,
source: new BlobSource(blob),
});
// Same validation logic as above
};
```

metadata:
tags: charts, data, visualization, bar-chart, pie-chart, line-chart, stock-chart, svg-paths, graphs
---
# Charts in Remotion
Create charts using React code - HTML, SVG, and D3.js are all supported.
Disable all animations from third party libraries - they cause flickering.
Drive all animations from `useCurrentFrame()`.
## Bar Chart
```tsx
const STAGGER_DELAY = 5;
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const bars = data.map((item, i) => {
const height = spring({
frame,
fps,
delay: i * STAGGER_DELAY,
config: { damping: 200 },
});
return <div style={{ height: height * item.value }} />;
});
```
## Pie Chart
Animate segments using stroke-dashoffset, starting from 12 o'clock:
```tsx
const progress = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1]);
const circumference = 2 * Math.PI * radius;
const segmentLength = (value / total) * circumference;
const offset = interpolate(progress, [0, 1], [segmentLength, 0]);
<circle
r={radius}
cx={center}
cy={center}
fill="none"
stroke={color}
strokeWidth={strokeWidth}
strokeDasharray={`${segmentLength} ${circumference}`}
strokeDashoffset={offset}
transform={`rotate(-90 ${center} ${center})`}
/>;
```
## Line Chart / Path Animation
Use `@remotion/paths` for animating SVG paths (line charts, stock graphs, signatures).
Install: `npx remotion add @remotion/paths`
Docs: https://remotion.dev/docs/paths.md
### Convert data points to SVG path
```tsx
type Point = { x: number; y: number };
const generateLinePath = (points: Point[]): string => {
if (points.length < 2) return "";
return points.map((p, i) => `${i === 0 ? "M" : "L"} ${p.x} ${p.y}`).join(" ");
};
```
### Draw path with animation
```tsx
import { evolvePath } from "@remotion/paths";
const path = "M 100 200 L 200 150 L 300 180 L 400 100";
const progress = interpolate(frame, [0, 2 * fps], [0, 1], {
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
easing: Easing.out(Easing.quad),
});
const { strokeDasharray, strokeDashoffset } = evolvePath(progress, path);
<path
d={path}
fill="none"
stroke="#FF3232"
strokeWidth={4}
strokeDasharray={strokeDasharray}
strokeDashoffset={strokeDashoffset}
/>;
```
### Follow path with marker/arrow
```tsx
import {
getLength,
getPointAtLength,
getTangentAtLength,
} from "@remotion/paths";
const pathLength = getLength(path);
const point = getPointAtLength(path, progress * pathLength);
const tangent = getTangentAtLength(path, progress * pathLength);
const angle = Math.atan2(tangent.y, tangent.x);
<g
style={{
transform: `translate(${point.x}px, ${point.y}px) rotate(${angle}rad)`,

name: compositions
description: Defining compositions, stills, folders, default props and dynamic metadata
metadata:
tags: composition, still, folder, props, metadata
---
A `<Composition>` defines the component, width, height, fps and duration of a renderable video.
It normally is placed in the `src/Root.tsx` file.
```tsx
import { Composition } from "remotion";
import { MyComposition } from "./MyComposition";
export const RemotionRoot = () => {
return (
<Composition
id="MyComposition"
component={MyComposition}
durationInFrames={100}
fps={30}
width={1080}
height={1080}
/>
);
};
```
## Default Props
Pass `defaultProps` to provide initial values for your component.
Values must be JSON-serializable (`Date`, `Map`, `Set`, and `staticFile()` are supported).
```tsx
import { Composition } from "remotion";
import { MyComposition, MyCompositionProps } from "./MyComposition";
export const RemotionRoot = () => {
return (
<Composition
id="MyComposition"
component={MyComposition}
durationInFrames={100}
fps={30}
width={1080}
height={1080}
defaultProps={
{
title: "Hello World",
color: "#ff0000",
} satisfies MyCompositionProps
}
/>
);
};
```
Use `type` declarations for props rather than `interface` to ensure `defaultProps` type safety.
## Folders
Use `<Folder>` to organize compositions in the sidebar.
Folder names can only contain letters, numbers, and hyphens.
```tsx
import { Composition, Folder } from "remotion";
export const RemotionRoot = () => {
return (
<>
<Folder name="Marketing">
<Composition id="Promo" /* ... */ />
<Composition id="Ad" /* ... */ />
</Folder>
<Folder name="Social">
<Folder name="Instagram">
<Composition id="Story" /* ... */ />
<Composition id="Reel" /* ... */ />
</Folder>
</Folder>
</>
);
};
```
## Stills
Use `<Still>` for single-frame images. It does not require `durationInFrames` or `fps`.
```tsx
import { Still } from "remotion";
import { Thumbnail } from "./Thumbnail";
export const RemotionRoot = () => {
return (
<Still id="Thumbnail" component={Thumbnail} width={1280} height={720} />
);
};
```
## Calculate Metadata
Use `calculateMetadata` to make dimensions, duration, or props dynamic based on data.
```tsx
import { Composition, CalculateMetadataFunction } from "remotion";
import { MyComposition, MyCompositionProps } from "./MyComposition";
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<
MyCompositionProps
> = async ({ props, abortSignal }) => {
const data = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/video/${props.videoId}`, {
signal: abortSignal,
}).then((res) => res.json());
return {
durationInFrames: Math.ceil(data.duration * 30),
props: {
...props,
videoUrl: data.url,
},
};
};
export const RemotionRoot = () => {
return (
<Composition
id="MyComposition"
component={MyComposition}
durationInFrames={100} // Placeholder, will be overridden
fps={30}
width={1080}
height={1080}
defaultProps={{ videoId: "abc123" }}
calculateMetadata={calculateMetadata}
/>
);
};
```
The function can return `props`, `durationInFrames`, `width`, `height`, `fps`, and codec-related defaults. It runs once before rendering begins.
## Nesting compositions within another
To add a composition within another composition, you can use the `<Sequence>` component with a `width` and `height` prop to specify the size of the composition.
```tsx
<AbsoluteFill>
<Sequence width={COMPOSITION_WIDTH} height={COMPOSITION_HEIGHT}>
<CompositionComponent />
</Sequence>
</AbsoluteFill>
```

# Displaying captions in Remotion
This guide explains how to display captions in Remotion, assuming you already have captions in the [`Caption`](https://www.remotion.dev/docs/captions/caption) format.
## Prerequisites
Read [Transcribing audio](transcribe-captions.md) for how to generate captions.
First, the [`@remotion/captions`](https://www.remotion.dev/docs/captions) package needs to be installed.
If it is not installed, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/captions
```
## Fetching captions
First, fetch your captions JSON file. Use [`useDelayRender()`](https://www.remotion.dev/docs/use-delay-render) to hold the render until the captions are loaded:
```tsx
import { useState, useEffect, useCallback } from "react";
import { AbsoluteFill, staticFile, useDelayRender } from "remotion";
import type { Caption } from "@remotion/captions";
export const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
const [captions, setCaptions] = useState<Caption[] | null>(null);
const { delayRender, continueRender, cancelRender } = useDelayRender();
const [handle] = useState(() => delayRender());
const fetchCaptions = useCallback(async () => {
try {
// Assuming captions.json is in the public/ folder.
const response = await fetch(staticFile("captions123.json"));
const data = await response.json();
setCaptions(data);
continueRender(handle);
} catch (e) {
cancelRender(e);
}
}, [continueRender, cancelRender, handle]);
useEffect(() => {
fetchCaptions();
}, [fetchCaptions]);
if (!captions) {
return null;
}
return <AbsoluteFill>{/* Render captions here */}</AbsoluteFill>;
};
```
## Creating pages
Use `createTikTokStyleCaptions()` to group captions into pages. The `combineTokensWithinMilliseconds` option controls how many words appear at once:
```tsx
import { useMemo } from "react";
import { createTikTokStyleCaptions } from "@remotion/captions";
import type { Caption } from "@remotion/captions";
// How often captions should switch (in milliseconds)
// Higher values = more words per page
// Lower values = fewer words (more word-by-word)
const SWITCH_CAPTIONS_EVERY_MS = 1200;
const { pages } = useMemo(() => {
return createTikTokStyleCaptions({
captions,
combineTokensWithinMilliseconds: SWITCH_CAPTIONS_EVERY_MS,
});
}, [captions]);
```
## Rendering with Sequences
Map over the pages and render each one in a `<Sequence>`. Calculate the start frame and duration from the page timing:
```tsx
import { Sequence, useVideoConfig, AbsoluteFill } from "remotion";
import type { TikTokPage } from "@remotion/captions";
const CaptionedContent: React.FC = () => {
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<AbsoluteFill>
{pages.map((page, index) => {
const nextPage = pages[index + 1] ?? null;
const startFrame = (page.startMs / 1000) * fps;
const endFrame = Math.min(
nextPage ? (nextPage.startMs / 1000) * fps : Infinity,
startFrame + (SWITCH_CAPTIONS_EVERY_MS / 1000) * fps,
);
const durationInFrames = endFrame - startFrame;
if (durationInFrames <= 0) {
return null;
}
return (
<Sequence
key={index}
from={startFrame}
durationInFrames={durationInFrames}
>
<CaptionPage page={page} />
</Sequence>
);
})}
</AbsoluteFill>
);
};
```
## White-space preservation
The captions are whitespace sensitive. You should include spaces in the `text` field before each word. Use `whiteSpace: "pre"` to preserve the whitespace in the captions.
## Separate component for captions
Put captioning logic in a separate component.
Make a new file for it.
## Word highlighting
A caption page contains `tokens` which you can use to highlight the currently spoken word:
```tsx
import { AbsoluteFill, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
import type { TikTokPage } from "@remotion/captions";
const HIGHLIGHT_COLOR = "#39E508";
const CaptionPage: React.FC<{ page: TikTokPage }> = ({ page }) => {
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
// Current time relative to the start of the sequence
const currentTimeMs = (frame / fps) * 1000;
// Convert to absolute time by adding the page start
const absoluteTimeMs = page.startMs + currentTimeMs;
return (
<AbsoluteFill style={{ justifyContent: "center", alignItems: "center" }}>
<div style={{ fontSize: 80, fontWeight: "bold", whiteSpace: "pre" }}>
{page.tokens.map((token) => {
const isActive =
token.fromMs <= absoluteTimeMs && token.toMs > absoluteTimeMs;
return (
<span
key={token.fromMs}
style={{ color: isActive ? HIGHLIGHT_COLOR : "white" }}
>
{token.text}
</span>
);
})}
</div>
</AbsoluteFill>
);
};
```
## Display captions alongside video content
By default, put the captions alongside the video content, so the captions are in sync.
For each video, make a new captions JSON file.
```tsx
<AbsoluteFill>
<Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} />
<CaptionPage page={page} />
</AbsoluteFill>
```

# Extracting frames from videos
Use Mediabunny to extract frames from videos at specific timestamps. This is useful for generating thumbnails, filmstrips, or processing individual frames.
## The `extractFrames()` function
This function can be copy-pasted into any project.
```tsx
import {
ALL_FORMATS,
Input,
UrlSource,
VideoSample,
VideoSampleSink,
} from "mediabunny";
type Options = {
track: { width: number; height: number };
container: string;
durationInSeconds: number | null;
};
export type ExtractFramesTimestampsInSecondsFn = (
options: Options,
) => Promise<number[]> | number[];
export type ExtractFramesProps = {
src: string;
timestampsInSeconds: number[] | ExtractFramesTimestampsInSecondsFn;
onVideoSample: (sample: VideoSample) => void;
signal?: AbortSignal;
};
export async function extractFrames({
src,
timestampsInSeconds,
onVideoSample,
signal,
}: ExtractFramesProps): Promise<void> {
using input = new Input({
formats: ALL_FORMATS,
source: new UrlSource(src),
});
const [durationInSeconds, format, videoTrack] = await Promise.all([
input.computeDuration(),
input.getFormat(),
input.getPrimaryVideoTrack(),
]);
if (!videoTrack) {
throw new Error("No video track found in the input");
}
if (signal?.aborted) {
throw new Error("Aborted");
}
const timestamps =
typeof timestampsInSeconds === "function"
? await timestampsInSeconds({
track: {
width: videoTrack.displayWidth,
height: videoTrack.displayHeight,
},
container: format.name,
durationInSeconds,
})
: timestampsInSeconds;
if (timestamps.length === 0) {
return;
}
if (signal?.aborted) {
throw new Error("Aborted");
}
const sink = new VideoSampleSink(videoTrack);
for await (using videoSample of sink.samplesAtTimestamps(timestamps)) {
if (signal?.aborted) {
break;
}
if (!videoSample) {
continue;
}
onVideoSample(videoSample);
}
}
```
## Basic usage
Extract frames at specific timestamps:
```tsx
await extractFrames({
src: "https://remotion.media/video.mp4",
timestampsInSeconds: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
onVideoSample: (sample) => {
const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = sample.displayWidth;
canvas.height = sample.displayHeight;
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
sample.draw(ctx!, 0, 0);
},
});
```
## Creating a filmstrip
Use a callback function to dynamically calculate timestamps based on video metadata:
```tsx
const canvasWidth = 500;
const canvasHeight = 80;
const fromSeconds = 0;
const toSeconds = 10;
await extractFrames({
src: "https://remotion.media/video.mp4",
timestampsInSeconds: async ({ track, durationInSeconds }) => {
const aspectRatio = track.width / track.height;
const amountOfFramesFit = Math.ceil(
canvasWidth / (canvasHeight * aspectRatio),
);
const segmentDuration = toSeconds - fromSeconds;
const timestamps: number[] = [];
for (let i = 0; i < amountOfFramesFit; i++) {
timestamps.push(
fromSeconds + (segmentDuration / amountOfFramesFit) * (i + 0.5),
);
}
return timestamps;
},
onVideoSample: (sample) => {
console.log(`Frame at ${sample.timestamp}s`);
const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = sample.displayWidth;
canvas.height = sample.displayHeight;
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
sample.draw(ctx!, 0, 0);
},
});
```
## Cancellation with AbortSignal
Cancel frame extraction after a timeout:
```tsx
const controller = new AbortController();
setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 5000);
try {
await extractFrames({
src: "https://remotion.media/video.mp4",
timestampsInSeconds: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
onVideoSample: (sample) => {
using frame = sample;
const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = frame.displayWidth;
canvas.height = frame.displayHeight;
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
frame.draw(ctx!, 0, 0);
},
signal: controller.signal,
});
console.log("Frame extraction complete!");
} catch (error) {
console.error("Frame extraction was aborted or failed:", error);
}
```
## Timeout with Promise.race
```tsx
const controller = new AbortController();
const timeoutPromise = new Promise<never>((_, reject) => {
const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => {
controller.abort();
reject(new Error("Frame extraction timed out after 10 seconds"));
}, 10000);
controller.signal.addEventListener("abort", () => clearTimeout(timeoutId), {
once: true,
});
});
try {
await Promise.race([
extractFrames({
src: "https://remotion.media/video.mp4",
timestampsInSeconds: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
onVideoSample: (sample) => {
using frame = sample;
const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = frame.displayWidth;
canvas.height = frame.displayHeight;
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
frame.draw(ctx!, 0, 0);
},
signal: controller.signal,
}),
timeoutPromise,
]);
console.log("Frame extraction complete!");
} catch (error) {
console.error("Frame extraction was aborted or failed:", error);
}
```

## FFmpeg in Remotion
`ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` do not need to be installed. They are available via the `npx remotion ffmpeg` and `npx remotion ffprobe`:
```bash
npx remotion ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.mp3
npx remotion ffprobe input.mp4
```
### Trimming videos
You have 2 options for trimming videos:
1. **Preferred**: Use the `trimBefore` and `trimAfter` props of the `<Video>` component. This is non-destructive, requires no re-encoding, and you can change the trim at any time.
```tsx
import {Video} from '@remotion/media';
<Video src={staticFile('video.mp4')} trimBefore={5 * fps} trimAfter={10 * fps} />;
```
2. Use the FFmpeg command line. You MUST re-encode the video to avoid frozen frames at the start of the video. Only use this if you need a standalone trimmed file (e.g. for upload or external use).
```bash
# Re-encodes from the exact frame
npx remotion ffmpeg -ss 00:00:05 -i public/input.mp4 -to 00:00:10 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac public/output.mp4

# Using fonts in Remotion
## Google Fonts with @remotion/google-fonts
The recommended way to use Google Fonts. It's type-safe and automatically blocks rendering until the font is ready.
### Prerequisites
First, the @remotion/google-fonts package needs to be installed.
If it is not installed, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/google-fonts # If project uses npm
bunx remotion add @remotion/google-fonts # If project uses bun
yarn remotion add @remotion/google-fonts # If project uses yarn
pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/google-fonts # If project uses pnpm
```
```tsx
import { loadFont } from "@remotion/google-fonts/Lobster";
const { fontFamily } = loadFont();
export const MyComposition = () => {
return <div style={{ fontFamily }}>Hello World</div>;
};
```
Preferrably, specify only needed weights and subsets to reduce file size:
```tsx
import { loadFont } from "@remotion/google-fonts/Roboto";
const { fontFamily } = loadFont("normal", {
weights: ["400", "700"],
subsets: ["latin"],
});
```
### Waiting for font to load
Use `waitUntilDone()` if you need to know when the font is ready:
```tsx
import { loadFont } from "@remotion/google-fonts/Lobster";
const { fontFamily, waitUntilDone } = loadFont();
await waitUntilDone();
```
## Local fonts with @remotion/fonts
For local font files, use the `@remotion/fonts` package.
### Prerequisites
First, install @remotion/fonts:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/fonts # If project uses npm
bunx remotion add @remotion/fonts # If project uses bun
yarn remotion add @remotion/fonts # If project uses yarn
pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/fonts # If project uses pnpm
```
### Loading a local font
Place your font file in the `public/` folder and use `loadFont()`:
```tsx
import { loadFont } from "@remotion/fonts";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
await loadFont({
family: "MyFont",
url: staticFile("MyFont-Regular.woff2"),
});
export const MyComposition = () => {
return <div style={{ fontFamily: "MyFont" }}>Hello World</div>;
};
```
### Loading multiple weights
Load each weight separately with the same family name:
```tsx
import { loadFont } from "@remotion/fonts";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
await Promise.all([
loadFont({
family: "Inter",
url: staticFile("Inter-Regular.woff2"),
weight: "400",
}),
loadFont({
family: "Inter",
url: staticFile("Inter-Bold.woff2"),
weight: "700",
}),
]);
```
### Available options
```tsx
loadFont({
family: "MyFont", // Required: name to use in CSS
url: staticFile("font.woff2"), // Required: font file URL
format: "woff2", // Optional: auto-detected from extension
weight: "400", // Optional: font weight
style: "normal", // Optional: normal or italic
display: "block", // Optional: font-display behavior
});
```
## Using in components
Call `loadFont()` at the top level of your component or in a separate file that's imported early:
```tsx
import { loadFont } from "@remotion/google-fonts/Montserrat";
const { fontFamily } = loadFont("normal", {
weights: ["400", "700"],
subsets: ["latin"],
});
export const Title: React.FC<{ text: string }> = ({ text }) => {
return (
<h1
style={{
fontFamily,
fontSize: 80,
fontWeight: "bold",
}}
>
{text}
</h1>
);
};
```

name: gif
description: Displaying GIFs, APNG, AVIF and WebP in Remotion
metadata:
tags: gif, animation, images, animated, apng, avif, webp
---
# Using Animated images in Remotion
## Basic usage
Use `<AnimatedImage>` to display a GIF, APNG, AVIF or WebP image synchronized with Remotion's timeline:
```tsx
import { AnimatedImage, staticFile } from "remotion";
export const MyComposition = () => {
return (
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={500} />
);
};
```
Remote URLs are also supported (must have CORS enabled):
```tsx
<AnimatedImage
src="https://example.com/animation.gif"
width={500}
height={500}
/>
```
## Sizing and fit
Control how the image fills its container with the `fit` prop:
```tsx
// Stretch to fill (default)
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={300} fit="fill" />
// Maintain aspect ratio, fit inside container
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={300} fit="contain" />
// Fill container, crop if needed
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={300} fit="cover" />
```
## Playback speed
Use `playbackRate` to control the animation speed:
```tsx
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={500} playbackRate={2} /> {/* 2x speed */}
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={500} playbackRate={0.5} /> {/* Half speed */}
```
## Looping behavior
Control what happens when the animation finishes:
```tsx
// Loop indefinitely (default)
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={500} loopBehavior="loop" />
// Play once, show final frame
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={500} loopBehavior="pause-after-finish" />
// Play once, then clear canvas
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={500} loopBehavior="clear-after-finish" />
```
## Styling
Use the `style` prop for additional CSS (use `width` and `height` props for sizing):
```tsx
<AnimatedImage
src={staticFile("animation.gif")}
width={500}
height={500}
style={{
borderRadius: 20,
position: "absolute",
top: 100,
left: 50,
}}
/>
```
## Getting GIF duration
Use `getGifDurationInSeconds()` from `@remotion/gif` to get the duration of a GIF.
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/gif
```
```tsx
import { getGifDurationInSeconds } from "@remotion/gif";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
const duration = await getGifDurationInSeconds(staticFile("animation.gif"));
console.log(duration); // e.g. 2.5
```
This is useful for setting the composition duration to match the GIF:
```tsx
import { getGifDurationInSeconds } from "@remotion/gif";
import { staticFile, CalculateMetadataFunction } from "remotion";
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction = async () => {
const duration = await getGifDurationInSeconds(staticFile("animation.gif"));
return {
durationInFrames: Math.ceil(duration * 30),
};
};
```
## Alternative
If `<AnimatedImage>` does not work (only supported in Chrome and Firefox), you can use `<Gif>` from `@remotion/gif` instead.
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/gif # If project uses npm
bunx remotion add @remotion/gif # If project uses bun
yarn remotion add @remotion/gif # If project uses yarn
pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/gif # If project uses pnpm
```
```tsx
import { Gif } from "@remotion/gif";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
export const MyComposition = () => {
return <Gif src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={500} />;
};
```
The `<Gif>` component has the same props as `<AnimatedImage>` but only supports GIF files.

metadata:

# Using images in Remotion
## The `<Img>` component
Always use the `<Img>` component from `remotion` to display images:
```tsx
import { Img, staticFile } from "remotion";
export const MyComposition = () => {
return <Img src={staticFile("photo.png")} />;
};
```
## Important restrictions
**You MUST use the `<Img>` component from `remotion`.** Do not use:
- Native HTML `<img>` elements
- Next.js `<Image>` component
- CSS `background-image`
The `<Img>` component ensures images are fully loaded before rendering, preventing flickering and blank frames during video export.
## Local images with staticFile()
Place images in the `public/` folder and use `staticFile()` to reference them:
```
my-video/
├─ public/
│ ├─ logo.png
│ ├─ avatar.jpg
│ └─ icon.svg
├─ src/
├─ package.json
```
```tsx
import { Img, staticFile } from "remotion";
<Img src={staticFile("logo.png")} />;
```
## Remote images
Remote URLs can be used directly without `staticFile()`:
```tsx
<Img src="https://example.com/image.png" />
```
Ensure remote images have CORS enabled.
For animated GIFs, use the `<Gif>` component from `@remotion/gif` instead.
## Sizing and positioning
Use the `style` prop to control size and position:
```tsx
<Img
src={staticFile("photo.png")}
style={{
width: 500,
height: 300,
position: "absolute",
top: 100,
left: 50,
objectFit: "cover",
}}
/>
```
## Dynamic image paths
Use template literals for dynamic file references:
```tsx
import { Img, staticFile, useCurrentFrame } from "remotion";
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
// Image sequence
<Img src={staticFile(`frames/frame${frame}.png`)} />
// Selecting based on props
<Img src={staticFile(`avatars/${props.userId}.png`)} />
// Conditional images
<Img src={staticFile(`icons/${isActive ? "active" : "inactive"}.svg`)} />
```
This pattern is useful for:
- Image sequences (frame-by-frame animations)
- User-specific avatars or profile images
- Theme-based icons
- State-dependent graphics
## Getting image dimensions
Use `getImageDimensions()` to get the dimensions of an image:
```tsx
import { getImageDimensions, staticFile } from "remotion";
const { width, height } = await getImageDimensions(staticFile("photo.png"));
```
This is useful for calculating aspect ratios or sizing compositions:
```tsx
import {
getImageDimensions,
staticFile,
CalculateMetadataFunction,
} from "remotion";
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction = async () => {
const { width, height } = await getImageDimensions(staticFile("photo.png"));
return {
width,
height,
};
};
```

# Importing .srt subtitles into Remotion
If you have an existing `.srt` subtitle file, you can import it into Remotion using `parseSrt()` from `@remotion/captions`.
If you don't have a .srt file, read [Transcribing audio](transcribe-captions.md) for how to generate captions instead.
## Prerequisites
First, the @remotion/captions package needs to be installed.
If it is not installed, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/captions # If project uses npm
bunx remotion add @remotion/captions # If project uses bun
yarn remotion add @remotion/captions # If project uses yarn
pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/captions # If project uses pnpm
```
## Reading an .srt file
Use `staticFile()` to reference an `.srt` file in your `public` folder, then fetch and parse it:
```tsx
import { useState, useEffect, useCallback } from "react";
import { AbsoluteFill, staticFile, useDelayRender } from "remotion";
import { parseSrt } from "@remotion/captions";
import type { Caption } from "@remotion/captions";
export const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
const [captions, setCaptions] = useState<Caption[] | null>(null);
const { delayRender, continueRender, cancelRender } = useDelayRender();
const [handle] = useState(() => delayRender());
const fetchCaptions = useCallback(async () => {
try {
const response = await fetch(staticFile("subtitles.srt"));
const text = await response.text();
const { captions: parsed } = parseSrt({ input: text });
setCaptions(parsed);
continueRender(handle);
} catch (e) {
cancelRender(e);
}
}, [continueRender, cancelRender, handle]);
useEffect(() => {
fetchCaptions();
}, [fetchCaptions]);
if (!captions) {
return null;
}
return <AbsoluteFill>{/* Use captions here */}</AbsoluteFill>;
};
```
Remote URLs are also supported - you can `fetch()` a remote file via URL instead of using `staticFile()`.
## Using imported captions
Once parsed, the captions are in the `Caption` format and can be used with all `@remotion/captions` utilities.

## Light Leaks
This only works from Remotion 4.0.415 and up. Use `npx remotion versions` to check your Remotion version and `npx remotion upgrade` to upgrade your Remotion version.
`<LightLeak>` from `@remotion/light-leaks` renders a WebGL-based light leak effect. It reveals during the first half of its duration and retracts during the second half.
Typically used inside a `<TransitionSeries.Overlay>` to play over the cut point between two scenes. See the **transitions** rule for `<TransitionSeries>` and overlay usage.
## Prerequisites
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/light-leaks
```
## Basic usage with TransitionSeries
```tsx
import { TransitionSeries } from "@remotion/transitions";
import { LightLeak } from "@remotion/light-leaks";
<TransitionSeries>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneA />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
<TransitionSeries.Overlay durationInFrames={30}>
<LightLeak />
</TransitionSeries.Overlay>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneB />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
</TransitionSeries>;
```
## Props
- `durationInFrames?` — defaults to the parent sequence/composition duration. The effect reveals during the first half and retracts during the second half.
- `seed?` — determines the shape of the light leak pattern. Different seeds produce different patterns. Default: `0`.
- `hueShift?` — rotates the hue in degrees (`0``360`). Default: `0` (yellow-to-orange). `120` = green, `240` = blue.
## Customizing the look
```tsx
import { LightLeak } from "@remotion/light-leaks";
// Blue-tinted light leak with a different pattern
<LightLeak seed={5} hueShift={240} />;
// Green-tinted light leak
<LightLeak seed={2} hueShift={120} />;
```
## Standalone usage
`<LightLeak>` can also be used outside of `<TransitionSeries>`, for example as a decorative overlay in any composition:
```tsx
import { AbsoluteFill } from "remotion";
import { LightLeak } from "@remotion/light-leaks";
const MyComp: React.FC = () => (
<AbsoluteFill>
<MyContent />
<LightLeak durationInFrames={60} seed={3} />
</AbsoluteFill>
);

# Using Lottie Animations in Remotion
## Prerequisites
First, the @remotion/lottie package needs to be installed.

## Displaying a Lottie file
To import a Lottie animation:
- Fetch the Lottie asset
- Wrap the loading process in `delayRender()` and `continueRender()`
- Save the animation data in a state
- Render the Lottie animation using the `Lottie` component from the `@remotion/lottie` package
```tsx

Maps can be added to a Remotion video with Mapbox.
The [Mapbox documentation](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/) has the API reference.
## Prerequisites
Mapbox and `@turf/turf` need to be installed.
Search the project for lockfiles and run the correct command depending on the package manager:
If `package-lock.json` is found, use the following command:
```bash
npm i mapbox-gl @turf/turf @types/mapbox-gl
```
If `bun.lock` is found, use the following command:
```bash
bun i mapbox-gl @turf/turf @types/mapbox-gl
```
If `yarn.lock` is found, use the following command:
```bash
yarn add mapbox-gl @turf/turf @types/mapbox-gl
```
If `pnpm-lock.yaml` is found, use the following command:
```bash
pnpm i mapbox-gl @turf/turf @types/mapbox-gl
```
The user needs to create a free Mapbox account and create an access token by visiting https://console.mapbox.com/account/access-tokens/.
The mapbox token needs to be added to the `.env` file:
```txt title=".env"
REMOTION_MAPBOX_TOKEN==pk.your-mapbox-access-token
```
## Adding a map
Here is a basic example of a map in Remotion.
```tsx
import { useEffect, useMemo, useRef, useState } from "react";
import { AbsoluteFill, useDelayRender, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
import mapboxgl, { Map } from "mapbox-gl";

[6.6185760498046875, 46.018420689207964],
];
mapboxgl.accessToken = process.env.REMOTION_MAPBOX_TOKEN as string;
export const MyComposition = () => {
const ref = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
const { delayRender, continueRender } = useDelayRender();
const { width, height } = useVideoConfig();
const [handle] = useState(() => delayRender("Loading map..."));
const [map, setMap] = useState<Map | null>(null);
useEffect(() => {
const _map = new Map({
container: ref.current!,
zoom: 11.53,
center: [6.5615, 46.0598],
pitch: 65,
bearing: 0,
style: "mapbox://styles/mapbox/standard",
interactive: false,
fadeDuration: 0,
});
_map.on("style.load", () => {
// Hide all features from the Mapbox Standard style
const hideFeatures = [
"showRoadsAndTransit",
"showRoads",
"showTransit",
"showPedestrianRoads",
"showRoadLabels",
"showTransitLabels",
"showPlaceLabels",
"showPointOfInterestLabels",
"showPointsOfInterest",
"showAdminBoundaries",
"showLandmarkIcons",
"showLandmarkIconLabels",
"show3dObjects",
"show3dBuildings",
"show3dTrees",
"show3dLandmarks",
"show3dFacades",
];
for (const feature of hideFeatures) {
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", feature, false);
}
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "colorTrunks", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)");
_map.addSource("trace", {
type: "geojson",
data: {
type: "Feature",
properties: {},
geometry: {
type: "LineString",
coordinates: lineCoordinates,
},
},
});
_map.addLayer({
type: "line",
source: "trace",
id: "line",
paint: {
"line-color": "black",
"line-width": 5,
},
layout: {
"line-cap": "round",
"line-join": "round",
},
});
});
_map.on("load", () => {
continueRender(handle);
setMap(_map);
});
}, [handle, lineCoordinates]);
const style: React.CSSProperties = useMemo(
() => ({ width, height, position: "absolute" }),
[width, height],
);
return <AbsoluteFill ref={ref} style={style} />;
};
```
The following is important in Remotion:
- Animations must be driven by `useCurrentFrame()` and animations that Mapbox brings itself should be disabled. For example, the `fadeDuration` prop should be set to `0`, `interactive` should be set to `false`, etc.
- Loading the map should be delayed using `useDelayRender()` and the map should be set to `null` until it is loaded.
- The element containing the ref MUST have an explicit width and height and `position: "absolute"`.
- Do not add a `_map.remove();` cleanup function.
## Drawing lines
Unless I request it, do not add a glow effect to the lines.
Unless I request it, do not add additional points to the lines.
## Map style
By default, use the `mapbox://styles/mapbox/standard` style.
Hide the labels from the base map style.
Unless I request otherwise, remove all features from the Mapbox Standard style.
```tsx
// Hide all features from the Mapbox Standard style
const hideFeatures = [
"showRoadsAndTransit",
"showRoads",
"showTransit",
"showPedestrianRoads",
"showRoadLabels",
"showTransitLabels",
"showPlaceLabels",
"showPointOfInterestLabels",
"showPointsOfInterest",
"showAdminBoundaries",
"showLandmarkIcons",
"showLandmarkIconLabels",
"show3dObjects",
"show3dBuildings",
"show3dTrees",
"show3dLandmarks",
"show3dFacades",
];
for (const feature of hideFeatures) {
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", feature, false);

## Animating the camera
You can animate the camera along the line by adding a `useEffect` hook that updates the camera position based on the current frame.
Unless I ask for it, do not jump between camera angles.
```tsx
import * as turf from "@turf/turf";
import { interpolate } from "remotion";
import { Easing } from "remotion";
import { useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig, useDelayRender } from "remotion";
const animationDuration = 20;
const cameraAltitude = 4000;
```
```tsx
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const { delayRender, continueRender } = useDelayRender();
useEffect(() => {
if (!map) {
return;
}
const handle = delayRender("Moving point...");
const routeDistance = turf.length(turf.lineString(lineCoordinates));
const progress = interpolate(
frame / fps,
[0.00001, animationDuration],
[0, 1],
{
easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.sin),
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
},
);
const camera = map.getFreeCameraOptions();
const alongRoute = turf.along(
turf.lineString(lineCoordinates),
routeDistance * progress,
).geometry.coordinates;
camera.lookAtPoint({
lng: alongRoute[0],
lat: alongRoute[1],
});
map.setFreeCameraOptions(camera);
map.once("idle", () => continueRender(handle));
}, [lineCoordinates, fps, frame, handle, map]);
```
Notes:
IMPORTANT: Keep the camera by default so north is up.
IMPORTANT: For multi-step animations, set all properties at all stages (zoom, position, line progress) to prevent jumps. Override initial values.
- The progress is clamped to a minimum value to avoid the line being empty, which can lead to turf errors
- See [Timing](./timing.md) for more options for timing.
- Consider the dimensions of the composition and make the lines thick enough and the label font size large enough to be legible for when the composition is scaled down.
## Animating lines
### Straight lines (linear interpolation)
To animate a line that appears straight on the map, use linear interpolation between coordinates. Do NOT use turf's `lineSliceAlong` or `along` functions, as they use geodesic (great circle) calculations which appear curved on a Mercator projection.
```tsx
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { durationInFrames } = useVideoConfig();
useEffect(() => {
if (!map) return;
const animationHandle = delayRender("Animating line...");
const progress = interpolate(frame, [0, durationInFrames - 1], [0, 1], {
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.cubic),
});
// Linear interpolation for a straight line on the map
const start = lineCoordinates[0];
const end = lineCoordinates[1];
const currentLng = start[0] + (end[0] - start[0]) * progress;
const currentLat = start[1] + (end[1] - start[1]) * progress;
const lineData: GeoJSON.Feature<GeoJSON.LineString> = {
type: "Feature",
properties: {},
geometry: {
type: "LineString",
coordinates: [start, [currentLng, currentLat]],
},
};
const source = map.getSource("trace") as mapboxgl.GeoJSONSource;
if (source) {
source.setData(lineData);
}
map.once("idle", () => continueRender(animationHandle));
}, [frame, map, durationInFrames]);
```
### Curved lines (geodesic/great circle)
To animate a line that follows the geodesic (great circle) path between two points, use turf's `lineSliceAlong`. This is useful for showing flight paths or the actual shortest distance on Earth.
```tsx
import * as turf from "@turf/turf";
const routeLine = turf.lineString(lineCoordinates);
const routeDistance = turf.length(routeLine);
const currentDistance = Math.max(0.001, routeDistance * progress);
const slicedLine = turf.lineSliceAlong(routeLine, 0, currentDistance);
const source = map.getSource("route") as mapboxgl.GeoJSONSource;
if (source) {
source.setData(slicedLine);
}
```
## Markers
Add labels, and markers where appropriate.
```tsx
_map.addSource("markers", {
type: "geojson",
data: {
type: "FeatureCollection",
features: [
{
type: "Feature",
properties: { name: "Point 1" },
geometry: { type: "Point", coordinates: [-118.2437, 34.0522] },
},
],
},
});
_map.addLayer({
id: "city-markers",
type: "circle",
source: "markers",
paint: {
"circle-radius": 40,
"circle-color": "#FF4444",
"circle-stroke-width": 4,
"circle-stroke-color": "#FFFFFF",
},
});
_map.addLayer({
id: "labels",
type: "symbol",
source: "markers",
layout: {
"text-field": ["get", "name"],
"text-font": ["DIN Pro Bold", "Arial Unicode MS Bold"],
"text-size": 50,
"text-offset": [0, 0.5],
"text-anchor": "top",
},
paint: {
"text-color": "#FFFFFF",
"text-halo-color": "#000000",
"text-halo-width": 2,
},
});
```
Make sure they are big enough. Check the composition dimensions and scale the labels accordingly.
For a composition size of 1920x1080, the label font size should be at least 40px.
IMPORTANT: Keep the `text-offset` small enough so it is close to the marker. Consider the marker circle radius. For a circle radius of 40, this is a good offset:
```tsx
"text-offset": [0, 0.5],
```
## 3D buildings
To enable 3D buildings, use the following code:
```tsx
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "show3dObjects", true);
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "show3dLandmarks", true);
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "show3dBuildings", true);
```
## Rendering
When rendering a map animation, make sure to render with the following flags:
```
npx remotion render --gl=angle --concurrency=1
```

# Measuring DOM nodes in Remotion
Remotion applies a `scale()` transform to the video container, which affects values from `getBoundingClientRect()`. Use `useCurrentScale()` to get correct measurements.
## Measuring element dimensions
```tsx
import { useCurrentScale } from "remotion";
import { useRef, useEffect, useState } from "react";
export const MyComponent = () => {
const ref = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
const scale = useCurrentScale();
const [dimensions, setDimensions] = useState({ width: 0, height: 0 });
useEffect(() => {
if (!ref.current) return;
const rect = ref.current.getBoundingClientRect();
setDimensions({
width: rect.width / scale,
height: rect.height / scale,
});
}, [scale]);
return <div ref={ref}>Content to measure</div>;

name: measuring-text
description: Measuring text dimensions, fitting text to containers, and checking overflow
metadata:
tags: measure, text, layout, dimensions, fitText, fillTextBox
---
# Measuring text in Remotion
## Prerequisites
Install @remotion/layout-utils if it is not already installed:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/layout-utils
```
## Measuring text dimensions
Use `measureText()` to calculate the width and height of text:
```tsx
import { measureText } from "@remotion/layout-utils";
const { width, height } = measureText({
text: "Hello World",
fontFamily: "Arial",
fontSize: 32,
fontWeight: "bold",
});
```
Results are cached - duplicate calls return the cached result.
## Fitting text to a width
Use `fitText()` to find the optimal font size for a container:
```tsx
import { fitText } from "@remotion/layout-utils";
const { fontSize } = fitText({
text: "Hello World",
withinWidth: 600,
fontFamily: "Inter",
fontWeight: "bold",
});
return (
<div
style={{
fontSize: Math.min(fontSize, 80), // Cap at 80px
fontFamily: "Inter",
fontWeight: "bold",
}}
>
Hello World
</div>
);
```
## Checking text overflow
Use `fillTextBox()` to check if text exceeds a box:
```tsx
import { fillTextBox } from "@remotion/layout-utils";
const box = fillTextBox({ maxBoxWidth: 400, maxLines: 3 });
const words = ["Hello", "World", "This", "is", "a", "test"];
for (const word of words) {
const { exceedsBox } = box.add({
text: word + " ",
fontFamily: "Arial",
fontSize: 24,
});
if (exceedsBox) {
// Text would overflow, handle accordingly
break;
}
}
```
## Best practices
**Load fonts first:** Only call measurement functions after fonts are loaded.
```tsx
import { loadFont } from "@remotion/google-fonts/Inter";
const { fontFamily, waitUntilDone } = loadFont("normal", {
weights: ["400"],
subsets: ["latin"],
});
waitUntilDone().then(() => {
// Now safe to measure
const { width } = measureText({
text: "Hello",
fontFamily,
fontSize: 32,
});
});
```
**Use validateFontIsLoaded:** Catch font loading issues early:
```tsx
measureText({
text: "Hello",
fontFamily: "MyCustomFont",
fontSize: 32,
validateFontIsLoaded: true, // Throws if font not loaded
});
```
**Match font properties:** Use the same properties for measurement and rendering:
```tsx
const fontStyle = {
fontFamily: "Inter",
fontSize: 32,
fontWeight: "bold" as const,
letterSpacing: "0.5px",
};
const { width } = measureText({
text: "Hello",
...fontStyle,
});
return <div style={fontStyle}>Hello</div>;
```
**Avoid padding and border:** Use `outline` instead of `border` to prevent layout differences:
```tsx
<div style={{ outline: "2px solid red" }}>Text</div>
```

description: Make a video parametrizable by adding a Zod schema
metadata:
tags: parameters, zod, schema
---
To make a video parametrizable, a Zod schema can be added to a composition.
First, `zod` must be installed .
Search the project for lockfiles and run the correct command depending on the package manager:
If `package-lock.json` is found, use the following command:
```bash
npm i zod
```
If `bun.lockb` is found, use the following command:
```bash
bun i zod
```
If `yarn.lock` is found, use the following command:
```bash
yarn add zod
```
If `pnpm-lock.yaml` is found, use the following command:
```bash
pnpm i zod
```
Then, a Zod schema can be defined alongside the component:
```tsx title="src/MyComposition.tsx"
import { z } from "zod";
export const MyCompositionSchema = z.object({
title: z.string(),
});
const MyComponent: React.FC<z.infer<typeof MyCompositionSchema>> = () => {
return (
<div>
<h1>{props.title}</h1>
</div>
);
};
```
In the root file, the schema can be passed to the composition:
```tsx title="src/Root.tsx"
import { Composition } from "remotion";
import { MycComponent, MyCompositionSchema } from "./MyComposition";
export const RemotionRoot = () => {
return (
<Composition
id="MyComposition"
component={MyComponent}
durationInFrames={100}
fps={30}
width={1080}
height={1080}
defaultProps={{ title: "Hello World" }}
schema={MyCompositionSchema}
/>
);
};
```
Now, the user can edit the parameter visually in the sidebar.
All schemas that are supported by Zod are supported by Remotion.
Remotion requires that the top-level type is a z.object(), because the collection of props of a React component is always an object.
## Color picker
For adding a color picker, use `zColor()` from `@remotion/zod-types`.
If it is not installed, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/zod-types # If project uses npm
bunx remotion add @remotion/zod-types # If project uses bun
yarn remotion add @remotion/zod-types # If project uses yarn
pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/zod-types # If project uses pnpm
```
Then import `zColor` from `@remotion/zod-types`:
```tsx
import { zColor } from "@remotion/zod-types";
```
Then use it in the schema:
```tsx
export const MyCompositionSchema = z.object({
color: zColor(),
});
```

name: sequencing
description: Sequencing patterns for Remotion - delay, trim, limit duration of items
metadata:
tags: sequence, series, timing, delay, trim
---
Use `<Sequence>` to delay when an element appears in the timeline.
```tsx
import { Sequence } from "remotion";
const {fps} = useVideoConfig();
<Sequence from={1 * fps} durationInFrames={2 * fps} premountFor={1 * fps}>
<Title />
</Sequence>
<Sequence from={2 * fps} durationInFrames={2 * fps} premountFor={1 * fps}>
<Subtitle />
</Sequence>
```
This will by default wrap the component in an absolute fill element.
If the items should not be wrapped, use the `layout` prop:
```tsx
<Sequence layout="none">
<Title />
</Sequence>
```
## Premounting
This loads the component in the timeline before it is actually played.
Always premount any `<Sequence>`!
```tsx
<Sequence premountFor={1 * fps}>
<Title />
</Sequence>
```
## Series
Use `<Series>` when elements should play one after another without overlap.
```tsx
import { Series } from "remotion";
<Series>
<Series.Sequence durationInFrames={45}>
<Intro />
</Series.Sequence>
<Series.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<MainContent />
</Series.Sequence>
<Series.Sequence durationInFrames={30}>
<Outro />
</Series.Sequence>
</Series>;
```
Same as with `<Sequence>`, the items will be wrapped in an absolute fill element by default when using `<Series.Sequence>`, unless the `layout` prop is set to `none`.
### Series with overlaps
Use negative offset for overlapping sequences:
```tsx
<Series>
<Series.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneA />
</Series.Sequence>
<Series.Sequence offset={-15} durationInFrames={60}>
{/* Starts 15 frames before SceneA ends */}
<SceneB />
</Series.Sequence>
</Series>
```
## Frame References Inside Sequences
Inside a Sequence, `useCurrentFrame()` returns the local frame (starting from 0):
```tsx
<Sequence from={60} durationInFrames={30}>
<MyComponent />
{/* Inside MyComponent, useCurrentFrame() returns 0-29, not 60-89 */}
</Sequence>
```
## Nested Sequences
Sequences can be nested for complex timing:
```tsx
<Sequence from={0} durationInFrames={120}>
<Background />
<Sequence from={15} durationInFrames={90} layout="none">
<Title />
</Sequence>
<Sequence from={45} durationInFrames={60} layout="none">
<Subtitle />
</Sequence>
</Sequence>
```
## Nesting compositions within another
To add a composition within another composition, you can use the `<Sequence>` component with a `width` and `height` prop to specify the size of the composition.
```tsx
<AbsoluteFill>
<Sequence width={COMPOSITION_WIDTH} height={COMPOSITION_HEIGHT}>
<CompositionComponent />
</Sequence>
</AbsoluteFill>
```

description: Adaptive silence detection for video/audio files using FFmpeg loudnorm and silencedetect
metadata:
tags: silence, detection, trimming, ffmpeg, loudnorm, audio
---
# Adaptive Silence Detection
Detect silent segments in video or audio files.
Requires FFmpeg — see [ffmpeg.md](./ffmpeg.md) for how to invoke it in Remotion projects.
## Step 1: Measure loudness with `loudnorm`
Use the `loudnorm` filter in JSON mode to get the EBU R128 integrated loudness and gating threshold for each file:
```bash
npx remotion ffmpeg -i public/video.mov -map 0:a -af loudnorm=print_format=json -f null /dev/null
```
As output you will get:
- `input_i`: Integrated loudness (dB) — the overall perceived volume
- `input_thresh`: EBU R128 gating threshold (dB) — the level below which audio is considered too quiet to count toward loudness measurement
## Step 2: Detect silences using adaptive threshold
Pass the `input_thresh` value from step 1 as the `noise` parameter to `silencedetect`:
```bash
npx remotion ffmpeg -i public/video.mov -map 0:a -af "silencedetect=noise=${THRESH}dB:d=0.5" -f null /dev/null
```
Parameters:
- `noise`: The threshold below which audio is considered silent. Use `input_thresh` from step 1.
- `d`: Minimum silence duration in seconds. `0.5` is a good default.
## Interpreting the output
The filter outputs pairs of `silence_start` and `silence_end` timestamps:
```
[silencedetect] silence_start: 0
[silencedetect] silence_end: 2.241021 | silence_duration: 2.241021
[silencedetect] silence_start: 38.77425
[silencedetect] silence_end: 39.619604 | silence_duration: 0.845354
```
## Identifying leading and trailing silence
- **Leading silence**: Consecutive silence segments starting at or near 0. If the first `silence_start` is > 0.5s, there is no leading silence.
- **Trailing silence**: The last silence segment that extends to (or near) the end of the file. Compare the last `silence_end` with the file's total duration.
When multiple silences are nearly contiguous at the start or end (gap < 0.2s), treat them as a single leading/trailing silence block.
## Using with Remotion's `<Video>` component
Apply the detected trim points using `trimBefore` and `trimAfter` (values are in frames):
```tsx
import { Video } from "@remotion/media";
import { staticFile, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
<Video
src={staticFile("video.mov")}
trimBefore={Math.floor(leadingEnd * fps)}
trimAfter={Math.ceil(trailingStart * fps)}
/>

name: timing
description: Interpolation and timing in Remotion—prefer interpolate with Bézier easing; springs as a specialized option
metadata:
tags: easing, bezier, interpolation, spring, timing
---
Drive motion with `interpolate()` over explicit frame range. To customize timing, use **`Easing.bezier`**. The four parameters are the same as CSS `cubic-bezier(x1, y1, x2, y2)`.
A simple linear interpolation is done using the `interpolate` function.
```ts title="Going from 0 to 1 over 100 frames"
import { interpolate } from "remotion";
const opacity = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1]);
```
By default, the values are not clamped, so the value can go outside the range [0, 1].
Here is how they can be clamped:
```ts title="Going from 0 to 1 over 100 frames with extrapolation"
const opacity = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1], {
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
});
```
## Bézier easing
Use `Easing.bezier(x1, y1, x2, y2)` inside the `interpolate` options object. The curve is identical in spirit to CSS animations and transitions, which helps when you are stealing timing from the web or from a designers spec.
```ts
import { interpolate, Easing } from "remotion";
const opacity = interpolate(frame, [0, 60], [0, 1], {
easing: Easing.bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1),
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
});
```
### Examples (copy-paste curves)
**1. Crisp UI entrance (strong ease-out, no overshoot)** — slows nicely into the rest value; similar to many system “deceleration” curves.
```tsx
const enter = interpolate(frame, [0, 45], [0, 1], {
easing: Easing.bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1),
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
});
```
**2. Editorial / slow fade (balanced ease-in-out)** — symmetric acceleration and deceleration over a hold-friendly move.
```tsx
const progress = interpolate(frame, [0, 90], [0, 1], {
easing: Easing.bezier(0.45, 0, 0.55, 1),
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
});
```
**3. Playful overshoot (control point y > 1)** — a little past the target then settles; use sparingly for emphasis.
```tsx
const pop = interpolate(frame, [0, 30], [0, 1], {
easing: Easing.bezier(0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1),
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
});
```
## Preset easings (`Easing.in` / `Easing.out` / named curves)
Easing can be added to the `interpolate` function without a custom cubic:
```ts
import { interpolate, Easing } from "remotion";
const value1 = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1], {
easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.cubic),
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
});
```
The default easing is `Easing.linear`.
Convexities:
- `Easing.in` — starting slow and accelerating
- `Easing.out` — starting fast and slowing down
- `Easing.inOut`
Named curves (from most linear to most curved):
- `Easing.quad`
- `Easing.cubic` (good default when you do not need a custom cubic)
- `Easing.sin`
- `Easing.exp`
- `Easing.circle`
### Easing direction for enter/exit animations
Use `Easing.out` for enter animations (starts fast, decelerates into place) and `Easing.in` for exit animations (starts slow, accelerates away). This feels natural because elements arrive with momentum and leave with gravity. When you need a specific curve from design, prefer a single `Easing.bezier(...)` instead of stacking presets.
## Composing interpolations
When multiple properties share the same timing (e.g. a slide-in panel and a video shift), avoid duplicating the full interpolation for each property. Instead, create a single normalized progress value (0 to 1) and derive each property from it:
```tsx
const slideIn = interpolate(
frame,
[slideInStart, slideInStart + slideInDuration],
[0, 1],
{
easing: Easing.bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1),
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
},
);
const slideOut = interpolate(
frame,
[slideOutStart, slideOutStart + slideOutDuration],
[0, 1],
{ easing: Easing.in(Easing.cubic), extrapolateLeft: "clamp", extrapolateRight: "clamp" },
);
const progress = slideIn - slideOut;
// Derive multiple properties from the same progress
const overlayX = interpolate(progress, [0, 1], [100, 0]);
const videoX = interpolate(progress, [0, 1], [0, -20]);
const opacity = interpolate(progress, [0, 1], [0, 1]);
```
The key idea: separate **timing** (when and how fast) from **mapping** (what values to animate between).

To transcribe audio to generate captions in Remotion, you can use the [`transcribe()`](https://www.remotion.dev/docs/install-whisper-cpp/transcribe) function from the [`@remotion/install-whisper-cpp`](https://www.remotion.dev/docs/install-whisper-cpp) package.
## Prerequisites
First, the @remotion/install-whisper-cpp package needs to be installed.
If it is not installed, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/install-whisper-cpp
```
## Transcribing
Make a Node.js script to download Whisper.cpp and a model, and transcribe the audio.
```ts
import path from "path";
import {
downloadWhisperModel,
installWhisperCpp,
transcribe,
toCaptions,
} from "@remotion/install-whisper-cpp";
import fs from "fs";
const to = path.join(process.cwd(), "whisper.cpp");
await installWhisperCpp({
to,
version: "1.5.5",
});
await downloadWhisperModel({
model: "medium.en",
folder: to,

description: Scene transitions and overlays for Remotion using TransitionSeries.

## TransitionSeries
`<TransitionSeries>` arranges scenes and supports two ways to enhance the cut point between them:
- **Transitions** (`<TransitionSeries.Transition>`) — crossfade, slide, wipe, etc. between two scenes. Shortens the timeline because both scenes play simultaneously during the transition.
- **Overlays** (`<TransitionSeries.Overlay>`) — render an effect (e.g. a light leak) on top of the cut point without shortening the timeline.
Children are absolutely positioned.
## Prerequisites
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/transitions
```
## Transition example
```tsx
import { TransitionSeries, linearTiming } from "@remotion/transitions";
import { fade } from "@remotion/transitions/fade";
<TransitionSeries>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneA />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
<TransitionSeries.Transition
presentation={fade()}
timing={linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 15 })}
/>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneB />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
</TransitionSeries>;
```
## Overlay example
Any React component can be used as an overlay. For a ready-made effect, see the **light-leaks** rule.
```tsx
import { TransitionSeries } from "@remotion/transitions";
import { LightLeak } from "@remotion/light-leaks";
<TransitionSeries>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneA />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
<TransitionSeries.Overlay durationInFrames={20}>
<LightLeak />
</TransitionSeries.Overlay>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneB />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
</TransitionSeries>;
```
## Mixing transitions and overlays
Transitions and overlays can coexist in the same `<TransitionSeries>`, but an overlay cannot be adjacent to a transition or another overlay.
```tsx
import { TransitionSeries, linearTiming } from "@remotion/transitions";
import { fade } from "@remotion/transitions/fade";
import { LightLeak } from "@remotion/light-leaks";
<TransitionSeries>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneA />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
<TransitionSeries.Overlay durationInFrames={30}>
<LightLeak />
</TransitionSeries.Overlay>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneB />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
<TransitionSeries.Transition
presentation={fade()}
timing={linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 15 })}
/>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneC />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
</TransitionSeries>;
```
## Transition props
`<TransitionSeries.Transition>` requires:
- `presentation` — the visual effect (e.g. `fade()`, `slide()`, `wipe()`).
- `timing` — controls speed and easing (e.g. `linearTiming()`, `springTiming()`).
## Overlay props
`<TransitionSeries.Overlay>` accepts:
- `durationInFrames` — how long the overlay is visible (positive integer).
- `offset?` — shifts the overlay relative to the cut point center. Positive = later, negative = earlier. Default: `0`.
## Available transition types
Import transitions from their respective modules:
```tsx
import { fade } from "@remotion/transitions/fade";
import { slide } from "@remotion/transitions/slide";
import { wipe } from "@remotion/transitions/wipe";
import { flip } from "@remotion/transitions/flip";
import { clockWipe } from "@remotion/transitions/clock-wipe";
```
## Slide transition with direction
```tsx
import { slide } from "@remotion/transitions/slide";
<TransitionSeries.Transition
presentation={slide({ direction: "from-left" })}
timing={linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 20 })}
/>;
```
Directions: `"from-left"`, `"from-right"`, `"from-top"`, `"from-bottom"`
## Timing options
```tsx
import { linearTiming, springTiming } from "@remotion/transitions";
// Linear timing - constant speed
linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 20 });
// Spring timing - organic motion
springTiming({ config: { damping: 200 }, durationInFrames: 25 });
```
## Duration calculation
Transitions overlap adjacent scenes, so the total composition length is **shorter** than the sum of all sequence durations. Overlays do **not** affect the total duration.
For example, with two 60-frame sequences and a 15-frame transition:
- Without transitions: `60 + 60 = 120` frames
- With transition: `60 + 60 - 15 = 105` frames
Adding an overlay between two other sequences does not change the total.
### Getting the duration of a transition
Use the `getDurationInFrames()` method on the timing object:
```tsx
import { linearTiming, springTiming } from "@remotion/transitions";
const linearDuration = linearTiming({
durationInFrames: 20,
}).getDurationInFrames({ fps: 30 });
// Returns 20
const springDuration = springTiming({
config: { damping: 200 },
}).getDurationInFrames({ fps: 30 });
// Returns calculated duration based on spring physics
```
For `springTiming` without an explicit `durationInFrames`, the duration depends on `fps` because it calculates when the spring animation settles.
### Calculating total composition duration
```tsx
import { linearTiming } from "@remotion/transitions";
const scene1Duration = 60;
const scene2Duration = 60;
const scene3Duration = 60;
const timing1 = linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 15 });
const timing2 = linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 20 });
const transition1Duration = timing1.getDurationInFrames({ fps: 30 });
const transition2Duration = timing2.getDurationInFrames({ fps: 30 });
const totalDuration =
scene1Duration +
scene2Duration +
scene3Duration -
transition1Duration -
transition2Duration;
// 60 + 60 + 60 - 15 - 20 = 145 frames
```

# Rendering Transparent Videos
Remotion can render transparent videos in two ways: as a ProRes video or as a WebM video.
## Transparent ProRes
Ideal for when importing into video editing software.
**CLI:**
```bash
npx remotion render --image-format=png --pixel-format=yuva444p10le --codec=prores --prores-profile=4444 MyComp out.mov
```
**Default in Studio** (restart Studio after changing):
```ts
// remotion.config.ts
import { Config } from "@remotion/cli/config";
Config.setVideoImageFormat("png");
Config.setPixelFormat("yuva444p10le");
Config.setCodec("prores");
Config.setProResProfile("4444");
```
**Setting it as the default export settings for a composition** (using `calculateMetadata`):
```tsx
import { CalculateMetadataFunction } from "remotion";
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
}) => {
return {
defaultCodec: "prores",
defaultVideoImageFormat: "png",
defaultPixelFormat: "yuva444p10le",
defaultProResProfile: "4444",
};
};
<Composition
id="my-video"
component={MyVideo}
durationInFrames={150}
fps={30}
width={1920}
height={1080}
calculateMetadata={calculateMetadata}
/>;
```
## Transparent WebM (VP9)
Ideal for when playing in a browser.
**CLI:**
```bash
npx remotion render --image-format=png --pixel-format=yuva420p --codec=vp9 MyComp out.webm
```
**Default in Studio** (restart Studio after changing):
```ts
// remotion.config.ts
import { Config } from "@remotion/cli/config";
Config.setVideoImageFormat("png");
Config.setPixelFormat("yuva420p");
Config.setCodec("vp9");
```
**Setting it as the default export settings for a composition** (using `calculateMetadata`):
```tsx
import { CalculateMetadataFunction } from "remotion";
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
}) => {
return {
defaultCodec: "vp8",
defaultVideoImageFormat: "png",
defaultPixelFormat: "yuva420p",
};
};
<Composition
id="my-video"
component={MyVideo}
durationInFrames={150}
fps={30}
width={1920}
height={1080}
calculateMetadata={calculateMetadata}
/>;

name: trimming
description: Trimming patterns for Remotion - cut the beginning or end of animations
metadata:
tags: sequence, trim, clip, cut, offset
---
Use `<Sequence>` with a negative `from` value to trim the start of an animation.
## Trim the Beginning
A negative `from` value shifts time backwards, making the animation start partway through:
```tsx
import { Sequence, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
const fps = useVideoConfig();
<Sequence from={-0.5 * fps}>
<MyAnimation />
</Sequence>;
```
The animation appears 15 frames into its progress - the first 15 frames are trimmed off.
Inside `<MyAnimation>`, `useCurrentFrame()` starts at 15 instead of 0.
## Trim the End
Use `durationInFrames` to unmount content after a specified duration:
```tsx
<Sequence durationInFrames={1.5 * fps}>
<MyAnimation />
</Sequence>
```
The animation plays for 45 frames, then the component unmounts.
## Trim and Delay
Nest sequences to both trim the beginning and delay when it appears:
```tsx
<Sequence from={30}>
<Sequence from={-15}>
<MyAnimation />
</Sequence>
</Sequence>
```
The inner sequence trims 15 frames from the start, and the outer sequence delays the result by 30 frames.

name: videos
description: Embedding videos in Remotion - trimming, volume, speed, looping, pitch
metadata:
tags: video, media, trim, volume, speed, loop, pitch
---
# Using videos in Remotion
## Prerequisites
First, the @remotion/media package needs to be installed.
If it is not, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/media # If project uses npm
bunx remotion add @remotion/media # If project uses bun
yarn remotion add @remotion/media # If project uses yarn
pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/media # If project uses pnpm
```
Use `<Video>` from `@remotion/media` to embed videos into your composition.
```tsx
import { Video } from "@remotion/media";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
export const MyComposition = () => {
return <Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} />;
};
```
Remote URLs are also supported:
```tsx
<Video src="https://remotion.media/video.mp4" />
```
## Trimming
Use `trimBefore` and `trimAfter` to remove portions of the video. Values are in seconds.
```tsx
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<Video
src={staticFile("video.mp4")}
trimBefore={2 * fps} // Skip the first 2 seconds
trimAfter={10 * fps} // End at the 10 second mark
/>
);
```
## Delaying
Wrap the video in a `<Sequence>` to delay when it appears:
```tsx
import { Sequence, staticFile } from "remotion";
import { Video } from "@remotion/media";
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<Sequence from={1 * fps}>
<Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} />
</Sequence>
);
```
The video will appear after 1 second.
## Sizing and Position
Use the `style` prop to control size and position:
```tsx
<Video
src={staticFile("video.mp4")}
style={{
width: 500,
height: 300,
position: "absolute",
top: 100,
left: 50,
objectFit: "cover",
}}
/>
```
## Volume
Set a static volume (0 to 1):
```tsx
<Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} volume={0.5} />
```
Or use a callback for dynamic volume based on the current frame:
```tsx
import { interpolate } from "remotion";
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<Video
src={staticFile("video.mp4")}
volume={(f) =>
interpolate(f, [0, 1 * fps], [0, 1], { extrapolateRight: "clamp" })
}
/>
);
```
Use `muted` to silence the video entirely:
```tsx
<Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} muted />
```
## Speed
Use `playbackRate` to change the playback speed:
```tsx
<Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} playbackRate={2} /> {/* 2x speed */}
<Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} playbackRate={0.5} /> {/* Half speed */}
```
Reverse playback is not supported.
## Looping
Use `loop` to loop the video indefinitely:
```tsx
<Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} loop />
```
Use `loopVolumeCurveBehavior` to control how the frame count behaves when looping:
- `"repeat"`: Frame count resets to 0 each loop (for `volume` callback)
- `"extend"`: Frame count continues incrementing
```tsx
<Video
src={staticFile("video.mp4")}
loop
loopVolumeCurveBehavior="extend"
volume={(f) => interpolate(f, [0, 300], [1, 0])} // Fade out over multiple loops
/>
```
## Pitch
Use `toneFrequency` to adjust the pitch without affecting speed. Values range from 0.01 to 2:
```tsx
<Video
src={staticFile("video.mp4")}
toneFrequency={1.5} // Higher pitch
/>
<Video
src={staticFile("video.mp4")}
toneFrequency={0.8} // Lower pitch
/>
```
Pitch shifting only works during server-side rendering, not in the Remotion Studio preview or in the `<Player />`.

tags: voiceover, audio, elevenlabs, tts, speech, calculateMetadata, dynamic duration
---
# Adding AI voiceover to a Remotion composition
Use ElevenLabs TTS to generate speech audio per scene, then use [`calculateMetadata`](./calculate-metadata) to dynamically size the composition to match the audio.
## Prerequisites
By default this guide uses **ElevenLabs** as the TTS provider (`ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` environment variable). Users may substitute any TTS service that can produce an audio file.
If the user has not specified a TTS provider, recommend ElevenLabs and ask for their API key.
Ensure the environment variable is available when running the generation script:
```bash
node --strip-types generate-voiceover.ts
```
## Generating audio with ElevenLabs
Create a script that reads the config, calls the ElevenLabs API for each scene, and writes MP3 files to the `public/` directory so Remotion can access them via `staticFile()`.
The core API call for a single scene:
```ts title="generate-voiceover.ts"
const response = await fetch(
`https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/text-to-speech/${voiceId}`,
{
method: "POST",
headers: {
"xi-api-key": process.env.ELEVENLABS_API_KEY!,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
Accept: "audio/mpeg",
},
body: JSON.stringify({
text: "Welcome to the show.",
model_id: "eleven_multilingual_v2",
voice_settings: {
stability: 0.5,
similarity_boost: 0.75,
style: 0.3,
},
}),
},
);
const audioBuffer = Buffer.from(await response.arrayBuffer());
writeFileSync(`public/voiceover/${compositionId}/${scene.id}.mp3`, audioBuffer);
```
## Dynamic composition duration with calculateMetadata
Use [`calculateMetadata`](./calculate-metadata.md) to measure the [audio durations](./get-audio-duration.md) and set the composition length accordingly.
```tsx
import { CalculateMetadataFunction, staticFile } from "remotion";
import { getAudioDuration } from "./get-audio-duration";
const FPS = 30;
const SCENE_AUDIO_FILES = [
"voiceover/my-comp/scene-01-intro.mp3",
"voiceover/my-comp/scene-02-main.mp3",
"voiceover/my-comp/scene-03-outro.mp3",
];
export const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
}) => {
const durations = await Promise.all(
SCENE_AUDIO_FILES.map((file) => getAudioDuration(staticFile(file))),
);
const sceneDurations = durations.map((durationInSeconds) => {
return durationInSeconds * FPS;
});
return {
durationInFrames: Math.ceil(sceneDurations.reduce((sum, d) => sum + d, 0)),
};
};
```
The computed `sceneDurations` are passed into the component via a `voiceover` prop so the component knows how long each scene should be.
If the composition uses [`<TransitionSeries>`](./transitions.md), subtract the overlap from total duration: [./transitions.md#calculating-total-composition-duration](./transitions.md#calculating-total-composition-duration)
## Rendering audio in the component
See [audio.md](./audio.md) for more information on how to render audio in the component.
## Delaying audio start

6. **Fix imports in third-party components** — After adding components from community registries (e.g. `@bundui`, `@magicui`), check the added non-UI files for hardcoded import paths like `@/components/ui/...`. These won't match the project's actual aliases. Use `npx shadcn@latest info` to get the correct `ui` alias (e.g. `@workspace/ui/components`) and rewrite the imports accordingly. The CLI rewrites imports for its own UI files, but third-party registry components may use default paths that don't match the project.
7. **Review added components** — After adding a component or block from any registry, **always read the added files and verify they are correct**. Check for missing sub-components (e.g. `SelectItem` without `SelectGroup`), missing imports, incorrect composition, or violations of the [Critical Rules](#critical-rules). Also replace any icon imports with the project's `iconLibrary` from the project context (e.g. if the registry item uses `lucide-react` but the project uses `hugeicons`, swap the imports and icon names accordingly). Fix all issues before moving on.
8. **Registry must be explicit** — When the user asks to add a block or component, **do not guess the registry**. If no registry is specified (e.g. user says "add a login block" without specifying `@shadcn`, `@tailark`, etc.), ask which registry to use. Never default to a registry on behalf of the user.
9. **Switching presets** — Ask the user first: **overwrite**, **merge**, or **skip**?
9. **Switching presets** — Ask the user first: **overwrite**, **partial**, **merge**, or **skip**?
- **Overwrite**: `npx shadcn@latest apply --preset <code>`. Overwrites detected components, fonts, and CSS variables.
- **Partial**: `npx shadcn@latest apply --preset <code> --only theme,font`. Updates only the selected preset parts without reinstalling UI components. Supported values are `theme` and `font`; comma-separated combinations are allowed. `icon` is intentionally not supported, because icon changes may require full component reinstall and transforms.
- **Merge**: `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --no-reinstall`, then run `npx shadcn@latest info` to list installed components, then for each installed component use `--dry-run` and `--diff` to [smart merge](#updating-components) it individually.
- **Skip**: `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --no-reinstall`. Only updates config and CSS, leaves components as-is.
- **Important**: Always run preset commands inside the user's project directory. `apply` only works in an existing project with a `components.json` file. The CLI automatically preserves the current base (`base` vs `radix`) from `components.json`. If you must use a scratch/temp directory (e.g. for `--dry-run` comparisons), pass `--base <current-base>` explicitly — preset codes do not encode the base.
