SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Remotion projects often fail at render time or produce inconsistent motion when developers use incorrect timing, rely on browser/CSS animation behavior, or reference assets incorrectly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Frame-accurate animation patterns: Use useCurrentFrame() with interpolate() and Remotion’s Easing to control opacity/timing deterministically.
  • Correct asset handling: Put files in public/, reference them via staticFile(), and use Remotion components like <Img> and @remotion/media’s <Video> and <Audio>.
  • Timeline structuring: Use <Sequence> with from, durationInFrames, and layout="none" to control when elements appear and for how long.
  • Composition & metadata guidance: Define video dimensions/fps/duration in src/Root.tsx, and use calculateMetadata when duration/dimensions/props must be computed dynamically.
  • Production-friendly workflows: Preview in Remotion Studio and optionally run a single-frame CLI sanity check to catch layout and timing issues early.

Quick Start

Use the remotion-best-practices skill guidance to scaffold a blank Remotion project and then implement your animation logic using useCurrentFrame() and interpolate() while referencing all local assets from public/ via staticFile().

Frequently Asked Questions about remotion-best-practices

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

FAQPage Schema
Why do my Remotion animations render incorrectly or have inconsistent timing?▼

Remotion animations render incorrectly when relying on browser-based CSS transitions instead of frame-accurate APIs. To prevent inconsistent timing, use `useCurrentFrame()` with `interpolate()` and Remotion's `Easing` functions to control opacity and motion deterministically.

How do I structure a timeline and sequence elements in Remotion?▼

To structure a timeline in Remotion, use the `<Sequence>` component with `from`, `durationInFrames`, and `layout="none"` properties. This controls exactly when elements appear and for how long within your React-based video composition.

What is the best way to reference local images and video files in Remotion?▼

The best way to reference local media in Remotion is to place files in the `public/` directory and reference them via `staticFile()`. Use Remotion's `<Img>`, `<Video>`, and `<Audio>` components for correct asset handling during rendering.

How do I set video dimensions, fps, and duration dynamically in Remotion?▼

Set video dimensions, fps, and duration statically in `src/Root.tsx` using the `Composition` component. Use `calculateMetadata` when duration, dimensions, or props must be computed dynamically before rendering.

Can I use CSS animations for timing in Remotion video compositions?▼

You cannot use CSS animations for timing in Remotion. CSS-based transitions cause inconsistent motion and render failures; you must use Remotion's timing APIs like `useCurrentFrame()` and `interpolate()` to ensure deterministic rendering.
