What does Remotion do?
Remotion is a set of Claude skills for making videos as React code with the Remotion framework. A router skill sends each task to the right member: create scaffolds a project with npx create-video, markup covers useCurrentFrame(), interpolate(), media components and built-in effects, maps picks Mapbox, MapLibre, MapTiler or CesiumJS, and multimedia reads durations and sizes with Mediabunny. Claude opens Remotion Studio for a live preview before building and keeps it running while it works. It only runs npx remotion render when you plainly ask for an MP4. The docs member searches remotion.dev through Algolia and reads pages as Markdown.
