No API key needed. Remotion renders locally using the CLI. AWS credentials are only required if you use Remotion Lambda for cloud rendering.

​
Setup Guide

Remotion works out of the box with no credentials. Ask your agent to create a project and start rendering.

​
1. Create a Remotion project

Ask your agent to initialize a project. It will use create-video to scaffold from one of the official templates (hello-world, blank, three, tiktok, and more).

​
2. Write your React compositions

Each composition is a React component registered in src/Root.tsx with dimensions, FPS, and duration. Your agent can create and edit these components directly.

​
3. Render videos or stills

Ask the agent to render a composition. It supports MP4 (H.264/H.265), WebM (VP8/VP9), ProRes, GIF, PNG sequences, and still images. Dynamic data can be passed as JSON props.

​
4. Optional: Cloud rendering with Lambda

For high-volume or faster rendering, you can configure Remotion Lambda. This requires AWS credentials (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY) stored in Settings → Secrets.

​
Usage Examples

Ask your agent to create and render videos using natural language. Start a new project
“Create a new Remotion project called product-demo using the blank template.”
Render a video
“Render the HelloWorld composition as an MP4 at 1080p with H.264 codec.”
Generate a thumbnail
“Render frame 30 of the Thumbnail composition as a PNG.”
Render with dynamic data
“Render the OGImage composition with props title set to ‘Launch Day’ and subtitle set to ‘v2.0 is here’.”
List available compositions
“What compositions are available in this Remotion project?”

​
Supported Output Formats

MP4 (H.264), MP4 (H.265), WebM (VP8), WebM (VP9), ProRes, GIF, PNG Sequence, Still (PNG/JPEG/WebP/PDF) License note: Remotion is free for individuals and companies with revenue under $1M. Larger companies need a license from remotion.pro/license.
