## Python SDK

```python
from inferencesh import inference

client = inference()

result = client.run({
    "app": "infsh/remotion-render",
    "input": {
        "code": """
import { useCurrentFrame, AbsoluteFill, interpolate } from "remotion";

export default function Main() {
  const frame = useCurrentFrame();
  const opacity = interpolate(frame, [0, 30], [0, 1]);

  return (
    <AbsoluteFill style={{
      backgroundColor: "#1a1a2e",
      display: "flex",
      justifyContent: "center",
      alignItems: "center"
    }}>
      <h1 style={{ color: "#eee", fontSize: 80, opacity }}>
        Hello from Python
      </h1>
    </AbsoluteFill>
  );
}
""",
        "duration_seconds": 3,
        "fps": 30,
        "width": 1920,
        "height": 1080
    }
})

print(result["output"]["video"])
```

### Streaming Progress

```python
for update in client.run({
    "app": "infsh/remotion-render",
    "input": {
        "code": "...",
        "duration_seconds": 10
    }
}, stream=True):
    if update.get("progress"):
        print(f"Rendering: {update['progress']}%")
    if update.get("output"):
        print(f"Video: {update['output']['video']}")
```

Overview

This skill renders MP4 videos from React/Remotion TSX component code using the inference.sh rendering backend. It supports the full Remotion API surface (hooks, primitives, animations) and lets you configure resolution, frame rate, duration, and codec. Supply a default-exported component and optional props; the skill compiles and returns a rendered video URL or streaming progress. It's designed for programmatic, data-driven, and motion-design video generation pipelines.

How this skill works

You pass TSX source that exports a default React component plus render parameters (width, height, fps, duration_seconds, codec, composition_id, and props). The service evaluates the component with allowed Remotion imports (useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig, spring, interpolate, AbsoluteFill, Sequence, Audio, Video, Img) and renders frames into a final MP4. The CLI and SDK return a video URL or stream progress events so you can monitor rendering in real time. The skill runs remotely, so no local Remotion setup is required.

When to use it

Generate marketing videos or intros from React components
Produce data-driven or batch videos with dynamic props
Convert interactive React animations into high-quality MP4s
Create motion graphics templates using Remotion APIs
Automate rendering in CI/CD or server workflows

Best practices

Export a single default component and pass dynamic values via props to reuse code
Use useVideoConfig for frame-accurate animations and to compute durationInFrames
Keep assets inline or referenced by stable URLs to avoid missing resources
Test animations at low resolution or short durations before full renders to save time
Stream progress to capture failures early and retrieve partial outputs if supported

Example use cases

Render a 30-second social ad from a template component with product data props
Produce animated KPI videos that pull numbers from a data pipeline and render hourly
Turn React prototype animations into shareable MP4 demos for stakeholders
Batch-generate personalized greeting videos by iterating props and rendering each MP4

FAQ

What Remotion APIs can I use in my code?

You can import from remotion (useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig, spring, interpolate, AbsoluteFill, Sequence, Audio, Video, Img) and from react for standard hooks.

How do I monitor render progress?

Use the CLI or SDK streaming mode to receive periodic progress updates and final output URLs during rendering.
