New to this? What open source means and how to read this page.

What it is

A framework for creating videos programmatically with React. Many agent skills for video, including the ones on this page, are built on it.

Good for

Template-driven and data-driven videos that you can version like code.

The catch

It is not open source. The license is free for individuals, for-profit organisations with up to 3 employees, non-profits and evaluation, and larger for-profit companies need a company license. You also may not sell your own derivative of Remotion.

Install it with an AI assistant

Paste this into Claude, ChatGPT or another assistant that can work on your computer (Claude Code or Claude Desktop, for example). It is written from the project's official repository and tells the assistant to show you every command first. Setup time is our estimate: about 10 min.

I want to install and try Remotion on my own computer.

Official repository: https://github.com/remotion-dev/remotion
Official site: https://remotion.dev
License: Remotion License (free for individuals and up to 3 employees)

Before you do anything:
1. Read the README and install notes in the official repository above, and nothing else. Do not follow third-party tutorials or mirrors.
2. Tell me in plain words what will be installed, what it needs (operating system, memory, graphics card, disk space, accounts) and what it will cost me, if anything.
3. Check my computer against those needs and tell me honestly if it will not work well.

Install it in an isolated environment so it does not touch the rest of my system (a virtual environment, pipx, or the official install script after I have seen what it does). Use the official install command from the README.

Rules:
- Show me each command before you run it, and say what it does.
- Ask before anything that deletes files, changes system settings, opens a network port or needs an administrator password.
- Never put my passwords or keys on a command line, or in a file I did not choose.
- When it is installed, help me check it with one small test, and tell me how to start and stop it.
- If something goes wrong, explain it in plain words and do not guess your way around it.

Good to know before you start: It is not open source. The license is free for individuals, for-profit organisations with up to 3 employees, non-profits and evaluation, and larger for-profit companies need a company license. You also may not sell your own derivative of Remotion.

We have not run this prompt ourselves yet. Read what the assistant plans to do before you say yes.
