Remotion Video Components

Development

React component patterns for Remotion video compositions using frame-based rendering. Use this when creating or modifying video sequence components in src/compositions/, src/components/, or any .tsx file that renders video content. Applies functional, purely frame-driven component design.

Remotion Video Components

This Skill provides Claude Code with specific guidance on how it should handle frontend components.

When to use this skill:

Creating new video sequence components (IntroSequence, BookReveal, etc.)
Building reusable video components in src/components/
Modifying existing Remotion composition files in src/compositions/
Implementing frame-based animations with useCurrentFrame
Composing complex video sequences from smaller components
Refactoring video components for reusability

Instructions

Remotion Components: All video components use Remotion's React-based API with useCurrentFrame() and useVideoConfig()
Single Responsibility: Each sequence component handles one video segment (IntroSequence, BookReveal, StatsReveal, etc.)
Frame-Based Timing: Components receive startFrame prop for timing calculations, not time-based values
TypeScript Props: Define explicit prop interfaces for all components with strong typing
Reusable Animations: Extract common animations to src/lib/animations.ts (fadeIn, slideIn, scaleIn, etc.)
Composition Pattern: Combine sequence components in src/compositions/MonthlyRecap/index.tsx
No Runtime State: Remotion compositions should be purely functional based on frame number, avoid useState
Path Aliases: Use @/ for imports (e.g., import { KineticText } from '@/components/KineticText')

Examples:

// Good: Clear props, frame-based, functional
import { useCurrentFrame } from 'remotion';
import { fadeIn } from '@/lib/animations';

interface IntroSequenceProps {
  startFrame: number;
  title: string;
}

export const IntroSequence: React.FC<IntroSequenceProps> = ({ startFrame, title }) => {
  const frame = useCurrentFrame();
  const opacity = fadeIn(frame, startFrame, 15);

  return (
    <div style={{ opacity }}>
      <h1>{title}</h1>
    </div>
  );
};

// Bad: Time-based, stateful, unclear props
export const Intro = ({ start, data }) => {
  const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false);
  return <div>{data.title}</div>;
};
