SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Keeping Remotion's compositor binaries in sync with upstream rust-ffmpeg releases requires coordinated Cargo updates, cross-platform rebuilds, and careful PR hygiene. This Skill automates the final step of that multi-repository chain so the dependency bump lands cleanly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cargo Lockfile Refresh: Updates ffmpeg-next.rev in packages/compositor/Cargo.toml and verifies ffmpeg-sys-next resolves to the matching rust-ffmpeg-sys SHA.
  • Cross-Platform Rebuild: Builds compositor binaries for Windows x64 GNU, macOS ARM64/x64, and Linux ARM64/x64 GNU/musl, including MSVCRT validation on Windows.
  • Draft PR Creation: Stages only the intended files, commits with a fixed title, pushes once, and opens a draft PR against main with a structured body.

Quick Start

Run the update-remotion-rust-ffmpeg skill with the merged rust-ffmpeg commit hash to rebuild all compositor targets and open a draft pull request.

Frequently Asked Questions about update-remotion-rust-ffmpeg

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I update ffmpeg-next in the Remotion compositor package?▼

Change `ffmpeg-next.rev` in `packages/compositor/Cargo.toml` to the supplied rust-ffmpeg SHA, then run `cargo update -p ffmpeg-next` from that directory. Verify `Cargo.lock` resolves both `ffmpeg-next` and `ffmpeg-sys-next` to the expected SHAs.

What platforms does the Remotion compositor build target?▼

The build covers Windows x64 GNU, macOS ARM64 and x64, and Linux ARM64 and x64 in both GNU and musl variants. On macOS, an MSVCRT-targeting `x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc` linker is required for the Windows target.

Why does the Windows compositor build require MSVCRT instead of UCRT?▼

The skill rejects `api-ms-win-crt-*` and `ucrtbase.dll` imports via `objdump -p` on `remotion.exe`. Only `msvcrt.dll` is accepted, so a UCRT-defaulting mingw toolchain will fail validation.

Can I force-push or rebase the update branch?▼

No. The skill explicitly forbids force-push, rebase, reset, and overwriting unrelated work. If `git push -u origin HEAD` is rejected, the workflow stops and reports the conflict instead of retrying.

What files should be staged for the update commit?▼

Stage only the two Cargo files, the seven rebuilt compositor platform packages, `packages/compositor/build.ts`, and any intentional update to the skill itself. Any unrelated tracked changes cause the workflow to stop.
