What is Remotion?
Remotion is make videos with code in React. ZeroCrew lists it after checking it works for a company with no employees.
An open-source framework for making videos programmatically with React. You write each scene as a component, preview it in the browser, and render MP4s locally or at scale in the cloud with Remotion Lambda. Because videos are code, a coding agent can build and edit them, and Remotion ships Agent Skills so Claude Code or Cursor can use its docs. Good for product demos, social clips and personalized videos generated from data.
