remotion-best-practices - Claude Code skill: install and use · remotion-dev
Routes Remotion tasks to focused guidance for video creation, React markup, maps, multimedia, previews, and rendering.
npx skills add remotion-dev/skills --skill remotion-best-practices -a claude-codeWhat remotion-best-practices does
This skill routes an agent to the relevant Remotion guidance for the task at hand. It covers creating videos and projects, writing React markup, working with maps and multimedia, adding interactivity, handling captions, building SaaS apps, reading docs, and upgrading Remotion.
For a preview, the guidance uses npx remotion studio. Rendering uses npx remotion render only when the user explicitly asks for an export. Separate references cover Studio and rendering, and Studio supports WebMCP.
Install it when an agent needs to choose the right Remotion workflow across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, or OpenCode. It is a focused addition for Remotion projects, not a general-purpose coding skill.
What it helps with
- create a new Remotion video or project
- choose guidance for Remotion React markup
- open a Remotion Studio preview
- handle maps, multimedia, or captions in Remotion
Example prompts for the agent
- Create a new Remotion video and open its Studio preview.
- Review this Remotion React markup and load the relevant guidance.
- Prepare the video render only after I explicitly ask for an export.
