Remotion is a framework for making videos with React. Video is defined as code, so compositions can be parameterized, templated and rendered in bulk. It includes Remotion Studio for previewing and editing, a Player for embedding live videos in web apps, and rendering options via Node.js APIs, AWS Lambda, Vercel sandboxes and client-side rendering.
The toolkit covers frame-accurate video and audio handling, captions (transcription, display, import and export), effects and transitions presets, color correction, keyframes that save back to code, and local background removal using WebGPU. Agent Skills, plugins and WebMCP integration let AI coding agents generate Remotion animations from prompts; YouTube creators have shown this producing text-message mockups, logo reveals and stock charts, with mixed preference against alternatives.
It is aimed at developers and teams building automated video production, motion design systems or video editing apps. Remotion uses a custom source-available license: free for individuals and companies of up to three people, while larger companies need a paid Company License (automation seats or per-user Creator seats). Terms for version 5.0 are published; an SDK is listed as coming soon.
