FAQPage Schema
How do I create React video animations with Remotion?

Remotion videos use React components to render animations frame by frame. You drive all visual changes using the useCurrentFrame() hook, avoiding CSS transitions to ensure deterministic rendering and smooth playback.

What is the best way to handle audio and video assets in Remotion?

The best way to handle Remotion assets is to strictly follow framework rules for importing and referencing images, videos, audio, and fonts. Proper asset management ensures correct synchronization and optimal rendering performance.

Can I use Lottie animations and 3D rendering in Remotion?

Yes, Remotion supports advanced techniques including 3D rendering, audio visualization, and Lottie animations. You must adhere to strict component usage rules to ensure these complex visual elements maintain optimal rendering performance.

Why are my Remotion animations not rendering smoothly?

Remotion animations render poorly when CSS transitions are used instead of frame-based logic. To fix this, drive all visual changes using the useCurrentFrame() hook and verify your asset referencing follows framework guidelines.

Do I need TypeScript to build Remotion videos?

TypeScript is recommended for building Remotion videos to ensure type safety within your React compositions. Using TypeScript helps enforce strict rules for animation timing, asset referencing, and component usage.
