remotion-best-practices

A routing guide for Remotion, a React-based tool for creating videos with code. It directs video tasks to the relevant instructions for setup, markup, maps, multimedia, interactivity, and rendering.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating Remotion videos, setting up projects, writing video components, working with maps or multimedia, adding interactive controls, and handling advanced rendering.
Why use it?
It helps an agent choose the right Remotion workflow and avoid overwriting changes a user made outside the conversation.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

remotion-best-practices scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (remotion-maps/techniques/cesium/assets/flight-path.ts, remotion-maps/techniques/cesium/scripts/prep-cesium-path.mjs, remotion-maps/techniques/maptiler/assets/MapTilerVectorElement.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Preserve user changes

Users may make edits in the code outside of the conversation.

If you detect a surprising change made in the meanwhile, don't overwrite it, assume it was intentional or ask for confirmation.

Creating a video

If the user asks to make, create, or build a new video or composition, load Create a new Remotion video, whether or not a Remotion project already exists.

New project setup

If no Remotion project currently exists, load Create a new Remotion project

React Markup Best Practices

If you are writing Remotion React Markup, load Remotion Markup Best Practices

Maps

For static maps, animated routes and markers, geographic explainers, Mapbox, MapLibre, MapTiler, GeoJSON, or 3D geographic flyovers, load Remotion Maps.

Multimedia

For achieving multimedia tasks in the browser, such as trimming, cropping videos, or getting metadata from them, load Remotion Multimedia

Improving Interactivity

By structuring the Remotion markup well, we can allow users to interactively change things in the Studio and write back to code. If relevant: Interactivity Best Practices

Rendering

For advanced rendering beyond simple npx remotion render, see: Rendering Best Practices

Opening Remotion Studio

To launch a project in Remotion Studio, open its exact local URL, or configure Studio CLI flags, load Remotion Studio.

Captions

When working with Captions, load Remotion Captions.

Creating a SaaS, automation or application

Use the Remotion SaaS skill for knowledge about Remotion-powered SaaS apps, such as <Player>, rendering on Lambda, Vercel, Cloudflare, via Express.js, client-side rendering, or for finding the right SaaS template.

What ships with it

60 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
