builder

name	builder
description	Use when creating Remotion video components, animations, or compositions. Triggers on "create a Remotion component", "build a video animation", "generate Remotion code", "make a text reveal", or when working on Remotion projects and needing component scaffolding.

Remotion Builder

Generates Remotion components, animations, and video compositions following best practices from the remotion-best-practices skill.

Usage

# Interactive mode - asks what to build
/remotion-max:builder

# Generate specific component type
/remotion-max:builder text-reveal
/remotion-max:builder fade-transition
/remotion-max:builder video-composition

# Specify output path
/remotion-max:builder --output src/components/MyAnimation.tsx

Arguments received: $ARGUMENTS

What This Command Does

1. Understands the request: Asks clarifying questions about what you want to build
2. References best practices: Consults the remotion-best-practices skill for patterns
3. Generates code: Creates properly typed TypeScript components
4. Explains implementation: Documents timing decisions and usage
5. Suggests next steps: How to register and use the component

Common Component Types

Animations

• text-reveal - Animated text reveals
• fade-in - Fade in transitions
• slide-in - Slide transitions
• scale-animation - Scale effects
• rotation - Rotation animations

Media Components

• video-player - Video with controls (trim, speed, volume)
• audio-sync - Audio-synchronized animations
• image-sequence - Image sequences
• caption-display - Caption overlays

Compositions

• video-composition - Full video composition structure
• scene-sequence - Multi-scene setup
• dynamic-composition - With calculateMetadata

Examples

Text Reveal Animation

/remotion-max:builder text-reveal

Generates:

import {useCurrentFrame, interpolate, spring} from 'remotion';

export const TextReveal: React.FC<{text: string}> = ({text}) => {
  const frame = useCurrentFrame();
  const opacity = spring({
    frame,
    fps: 30,
    config: {damping: 200}
  });

  return <div style={{opacity}}>{text}</div>;
};

Video Composition

/remotion-max:builder video-composition

Generates complete composition with:

• Intro scene
• Main content
• Outro scene
• Transitions between scenes

Configuration Options

The command will ask about:

• Duration: How long should the animation be?
• FPS: Frame rate (default: 30)
• Dimensions: Video size (default: 1920x1080)
• Styling: Tailwind CSS or inline styles?
• Assets: Any media files to include?

Output

Creates:

• TypeScript component file
• Usage documentation
• Registration code for Root.tsx
• Example props

Integration with remotion-best-practices

This command automatically:

• References appropriate rule files from the skill
• Uses recommended patterns and APIs
• Follows timing best practices
• Implements type-safe code
• Includes performance optimizations

Tips

• Run in your Remotion project directory
• Have your composition structure ready
• Know your video requirements (duration, size)
• Check existing components first to avoid duplicates

Next Steps After Generation

1. Review the generated code
2. Add component to Root.tsx
3. Test in Remotion Studio (npm start)
4. Adjust timing/styling as needed
5. Render the video (npm run build)
