Question 1

How do I generate videos with Claude Code and Remotion?

Accepted Answer

I install Remotion into a new project, add the Claude agent skills, and then I prompt Claude to build the animation for me. Remotion turns the generated React code into an actual video inside Remotion Studio. After that, I render it as an MP4 and it outputs into the project’s /out folder.

Question 2

Is Remotion free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes—Remotion is open source and you can see on their pricing it’s free for personal use. If you want to use it commercially or for a company, you’ll need the paid license. For learning and testing, it’s perfect.

Question 3

Do I need to know React or code to use Remotion?

Accepted Answer

Normally Remotion is code-first (React), but in my workflow I don’t write the code myself. I let Claude Code generate the full project from a single prompt. You still run a few terminal commands, but the heavy coding is handled by AI.

Question 4

What commands do I run to start a Remotion project?

Accepted Answer

I create a folder, `cd` into it, then run `npx create-video@latest` to install Remotion. After that I run `npm install` and `npm run dev` to open Remotion Studio locally. In my case it opened on localhost (like 3001).

Question 5

Where do I put images or assets for a Remotion animation?

Accepted Answer

I put everything inside the project’s /public folder. In this video I added the cursor image, the folder container, the Spotify token/logo, and the UI cards there. Then I tell Claude to check /public and use those assets in the animation.

Question 6

How do I recreate a motion graphic from a reference video or Pinterest post?

Accepted Answer

I download the reference and send it to Gemini to fully analyze it and give me a prompt + a list of required assets. Then I generate or source those assets and drop them into /public. Finally, I paste the refined prompt into Claude so it can build the Remotion scene to match the reference.

Question 7

How do I export the final Remotion video as MP4?

Accepted Answer

Inside Remotion Studio, I go to Render and choose “Render video.” Remotion renders the composition and saves the MP4 into an /out folder in the root of the project. Then I can open the MP4 directly from there.
