What it is
Has 124 recipe cards covering 150 shots in 10 categories, each with a motion preview in an online gallery. The workflow captures your real pages, storyboards, animates, syncs cuts to the beat, designs the sound and delivers a 1920x1080 MP4 at 30 fps.
What it’s for
For someone launching a product who needs a promo video made from their own screens, without hiring an editor.
Benefits
- Named shot recipes, requested in natural language
- A browser Motion Workbench to change copy, timing and shots and re-export
- Exports a draft to JianYing, the Chinese CapCut
Caveats
- The code is Apache-2.0, but Remotion has its own license: free for individuals and small teams, and companies may need a paid license, according to the README.
- It was tested on macOS and needs Node.js and ffmpeg; the bundled demo screenshots should be replaced before publishing.
