| description | Workflow for diagnosing and fixing layout instability, text jumping, resizing issues, and rendering inconsistencies in Remotion animations. |
This skill enables Claude to diagnose and resolve layout instability issues in Remotion projects.
The workflow focuses on:
The goal is to ensure animations remain visually stable and professional even when dynamic content changes during playback.
Before starting:
Install Node.js: https://nodejs.org
Verify installation:
node -v
npm -v
npm init video
npm run dev
Recommended tools:
Recommended extensions:
Optional:
Use this skill when:
Do NOT use this skill for:
Fix a subtitle card that jumps vertically while text types onto the screen.
Claude should:
Final result should:
One of the most common causes of layout instability is dynamic resizing during animation.
Examples:
Claude should proactively detect:
Stable containers prevent visual jumping.
Recommended strategy:
Example approach:
Invisible Full Text
↓
Animated Visible Text Overlay
This ensures:
Animation logic should not directly control layout structure.
Preferred approach:
Avoid:
All motion should remain:
Preferred systems:
useCurrentFrame()spring()Avoid:
Layout issues are often invisible during fast playback.
Claude should inspect:
Frame-level validation improves:
Start by reproducing the layout instability consistently.
Identify:
Typical symptoms:
Check for:
Determine whether:
Preserve stable layout sizing.
Recommended fix:
This prevents:
