Remotion Video Production

A skill for producing programmable videos using Remotion. Generate automated videos from text instructions and produce brand-consistent videos at scale.

When to use this skill

Automated video generation: Create videos from text instructions

Brand video production: Consistent-style videos at scale

Programmable content: Integrated narration, visuals, and animation

Marketing content: Product introductions, onboarding, and promotional videos

Instructions

Step 1: Define the Video Spec
video_spec:
  audience: [target audience]
  goal: [video purpose]
  duration: [total length - 30s, 60s, 90s]
  aspect_ratio: "16:9" | "1:1" | "9:16"
  tone: "fast" | "calm" | "cinematic"
  voice:
    style: [narration style]
    language: [language]

Step 2: Outline Scenes

Scene structure template:

## Scene Plan

### Scene 1: Hook (0:00 - 0:05)
- **Visual**: Product logo fade-in
- **Audio**: Upbeat intro
- **Text**: "Transform Your Workflow"
- **Transition**: Fade → Scene 2

### Scene 2: Problem (0:05 - 0:15)
- **Visual**: Problem scenario illustration
- **Audio**: Narration begins
- **Text**: Key message overlay
- **Transition**: Slide left

### Scene 3: Solution (0:15 - 0:30)
...

Step 3: Prepare Assets

# Asset checklist
assets/
├── logos/
│   ├── logo-main.svg
│   └── logo-white.svg
├── screenshots/
│   ├── dashboard.png
│   └── feature-1.png
├── audio/
│   ├── bgm.mp3
│   └── narration.mp3
└── fonts/
    └── brand-font.woff2

Asset preparation rules:

Logos: SVG or high-resolution PNG

Screenshots: Normalized to match aspect ratio

Audio: MP3 or WAV, volume normalized

Fonts: Web fonts or local font files

Step 4: Implement Remotion Composition

// src/Video.tsx
import { Composition } from 'remotion';
import { IntroScene } from './scenes/IntroScene';
import { ProblemScene } from './scenes/ProblemScene';
import { SolutionScene } from './scenes/SolutionScene';
import { CTAScene } from './scenes/CTAScene';

export const RemotionVideo: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <Composition
        id="ProductIntro"
        component={ProductIntro}
        durationInFrames={1800} // 60s at 30fps
        fps={30}
        width={1920}
        height={1080}
      />
    </>
  );
};

// Scene Component Example
const IntroScene: React.FC<{ frame: number }> = ({ frame }) => {
  const opacity = interpolate(frame, [0, 30], [0, 1]);

  return (
    <AbsoluteFill style={{ opacity }}>
      <Logo />
      <Title>Transform Your Workflow</Title>
    </AbsoluteFill>
  );
};

Step 5: Render and QA

# 1. Preview render (low quality)
npx remotion preview src/Video.tsx

# 2. QA checks
- [ ] Timing verification
- [ ] Audio sync
- [ ] Text readability
- [ ] Smooth transitions

# 3. Final render
npx remotion render src/Video.tsx ProductIntro out/video.mp4

Examples

Example 1: Product Intro Video

Prompt:

Create a 60s product intro video with 6 scenes,
upbeat tone, and 16:9 output. Include a CTA at the end.

Expected output:

## Scene Breakdown
1. Hook (0:00-0:05): Logo + tagline
2. Problem (0:05-0:15): Pain point visualization
3. Solution (0:15-0:30): Product demo
4. Features (0:30-0:45): Key benefits (3 items)
5. Social Proof (0:45-0:55): Testimonial/stats
6. CTA (0:55-1:00): Call to action + contact

## Remotion Structure
- src/scenes/HookScene.tsx
- src/scenes/ProblemScene.tsx
- src/scenes/SolutionScene.tsx
- src/scenes/FeaturesScene.tsx
- src/scenes/SocialProofScene.tsx
- src/scenes/CTAScene.tsx

Example 2: Onboarding Walkthrough

Prompt:

Generate a 45s onboarding walkthrough using screenshots,
with callouts and 9:16 format for mobile.

Expected output:

Scene plan with 5 steps

Asset list (screenshots, callout arrows)

Text overlays and transitions

Mobile-safe margins applied

Best practices

Short scenes: Keep scenes clear at 5-10 seconds each

Consistent typography: Define a typography scale

Audio sync: Align narration cues with visuals

Template reuse: Save reusable compositions

Safe zones: Ensure margins for mobile aspect ratios

Common pitfalls

Text overload: Limit the amount of text per scene

Ignoring mobile safe zones: Check edges for 9:16 aspect ratio

Final render before QA: Always check preview first

Troubleshooting

Issue: Audio and visuals out of sync

Cause: Frame timing mismatch
Solution: Recalculate frames and align timestamps

Issue: Render is slow or fails

Cause: Heavy assets or effects
Solution: Compress assets and simplify animations

Issue: Text unreadable

Cause: Insufficient font size or contrast
Solution: Use minimum 24px font and high-contrast colors
