## What it does

Everything goes through one script, `scripts/render_wechat_2d.sh`. A workspace folder and an output path come in as the first two arguments; skip them and the skill works in the current directory and writes to `out/wechat-2d-transparent.mov`. The third argument is a JSON file of Remotion props, defaulting to `shared/project/render-presets/default.json`.

If `workspace_dir/wechat-2d` already exists, the local copy is reused. Otherwise it is cloned from GitHub, and updates follow the `origin/HEAD` branch. Dependencies come in with `pnpm install`, and `corepack` kicks in when `pnpm` is absent. Then the script runs `pnpm run remotion:ensure-browser` and the render itself with `REMOTION_OUTPUT` and `REMOTION_PROPS_FILE` set.

The file comes out as ProRes 4444 in `yuva444p10le` pixel format with PNG frames, so the background stays transparent. You need `git`, `node`, `corepack` or `pnpm`, and a network connection — cloning and package install both fail without it. Sizes go through the props JSON; `videoWidth` and `videoHeight` stay layout props.
