Remotion
Overview
Remotion enables programmatic video creation using React components. Compositions define renderable videos with explicit width, height, fps, and duration. All animations must be driven by useCurrentFrame() -- CSS animations and Tailwind animation classes are forbidden as they cause rendering artifacts. Use this skill for Remotion compositions, animations, audio, captions, transitions, media handling, or rendering. Not intended for general React UI development.
Quick Reference
| Pattern | API / Approach | Key Points |
|---|---|---|
| Basic animation | useCurrentFrame() + interpolate() |
Always clamp with extrapolateRight: 'clamp' |
| Spring animation | spring({ frame, fps }) |
{ damping: 200 } for smooth, no-bounce motion |
| Composition | <Composition id, component, durationInFrames, fps, width, height> |
Always set explicit dimensions |
| Dynamic metadata | calculateMetadata on <Composition> |
Set duration, dimensions, props before render |
| Sequencing | <Sequence from, durationInFrames> |
useCurrentFrame() returns local frame (starts at 0) |
| Series | <Series> with <Series.Sequence> |
Sequential playback; negative offset for overlaps |
| Transitions | <TransitionSeries> with fade(), slide(), wipe() |
Total duration = sum of scenes minus transition durations |
| Audio/Video | <Audio> / <Video> from @remotion/media |
Use staticFile() for local assets |
| Captions | createTikTokStyleCaptions() |
Token-level word highlighting via page.tokens |
| Images | <Img> from remotion |
Never use native <img> or Next.js <Image> |
| GIFs | <AnimatedImage> from remotion |
Synced with timeline; playbackRate for speed control |
| Fonts | @remotion/google-fonts or @remotion/fonts |
Call loadFont() at top level; blocks rendering until ready |
| 3D content | <ThreeCanvas> from @remotion/three |
Must set width/height; useFrame() from R3F is forbidden |
| Text measurement | measureText(), fitText() from @remotion/layout-utils |
Load fonts first; match properties for measurement and render |
| Parameters | Zod schema on <Composition schema> |
Top-level must be z.object(); exact Zod version required (check Remotion docs) |
| Transparent video | --pixel-format=yuva420p --codec=vp9 |
WebM for browser; ProRes 4444 for editing software |
| Maps | Mapbox with useCurrentFrame() |
Set interactive: false, fadeDuration: 0; render with --gl=angle --concurrency=1 |
Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Correct Pattern |
|---|---|
Using CSS animations or setTimeout |
Use interpolate() and useCurrentFrame() for timeline-synced animations |
Using native <img>, <video>, <audio> tags |
Use <Img>, <Video>, <Audio> from Remotion for proper preloading |
| Hardcoding video duration | Use calculateMetadata to dynamically set duration from content |
| Not specifying width/height on compositions | Always define explicit dimensions to avoid rendering issues |
Using useFrame() from React Three Fiber |
Use useCurrentFrame() from Remotion inside <ThreeCanvas> |
Forgetting premountFor on sequences |
Always premount sequences to preload components before playback |
Not clamping interpolate() output |
Set extrapolateRight: 'clamp' to prevent values exceeding target range |
Placing <Sequence> in <ThreeCanvas> without layout="none" |
Set layout="none" on any <Sequence> inside <ThreeCanvas> |

How to use this skill
Install remotion by running npx skills add oakoss/agent-skills --skill remotion in your project directory. Run the install command above in your project directory. The skill file will be downloaded from GitHub and placed in your project.
No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.
The skill enhances your agent's understanding of remotion, helping it follow established patterns, avoid common mistakes, and produce production-ready output.
What you get
Skills are plain-text instruction files — not executable code. They encode expert knowledge about frameworks, languages, or tools that your AI agent reads to improve its output. This means zero runtime overhead, no dependency conflicts, and full transparency: you can read and review every instruction before installing.
Compatibility
This skill works with any AI coding agent that supports the skills.sh format, including Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and other tools that read project-level context files. Skills are framework-agnostic at the transport level — the content inside determines which language or framework it applies to.
