SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents common Remotion rendering issues like flickering, timing bugs, and asset-loading problems by enforcing practical, Remotion-specific implementation rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Frame-driven animation rules: Ensures animations are driven by useCurrentFrame() and disallows browser/CSS-driven transitions that can break rendering determinism.
  • Component-specific best practices: Covers correct patterns for images, videos, audio, fonts, captions/subtitles, 3D, charts, and transitions.
  • Asset loading correctness: Standardizes staticFile() usage for public assets and guides deterministic caption handling and media duration/dimensions lookup.

Quick Start

Tell the AI: "I’m building a Remotion composition that uses captions, audio, and a custom SVG/chart animation—list the exact Remotion rules I must follow and then propose a minimal implementation plan that uses useCurrentFrame() for all animations."

Frequently Asked Questions about remotion-best-practices

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Why does my Remotion video flicker or glitch during rendering?

Remotion flickering usually happens when animations use browser or CSS timing instead of frame-driven logic. Driving all animations with useCurrentFrame() enforces deterministic rendering and prevents timing glitches.

How do I load local assets and fonts in Remotion without rendering errors?

Local assets and fonts in Remotion require staticFile() for correct deterministic loading. Referencing public assets with staticFile() ensures media files and fonts are properly resolved during the video rendering process.

Does Remotion support CSS animations and third-party animation timing?

Remotion disallows CSS and third-party animation timing because they break rendering determinism. You must drive all visual transitions and component animations using useCurrentFrame() to ensure flicker-free video output.

What's the best way to add captions and audio visualizations in Remotion?

Adding captions and audio visualizations in Remotion requires deterministic handling by referencing specific rule files. You must drive visualizations with useCurrentFrame() and use staticFile() for any associated audio assets.

Can I use 3D graphics and charts in a Remotion composition?

Remotion supports 3D graphics and charts within video compositions. To avoid rendering issues, you must follow component-specific implementation rules and drive all chart and 3D animations using useCurrentFrame() instead of browser timing.
