| description | Full video production workflow for Remotion projects. Teaches how to orchestrate MCP tools (TTS, music, SFX, stock footage, video analysis) into complete Remotion compositions. Use this skill whenever producing a video that needs audio, voiceovers, music, stock footage, or analyzing existing video files. |
Remotion Production Workflow
This skill teaches how to produce complete videos with Remotion by orchestrating multiple MCP tools together. It covers the full pipeline from concept to rendered MP4.
Available MCP Tools
You have access to these MCP servers for media production:
remotion-media (via KIE)
generate_tts — Text-to-speech voiceovers (ElevenLabs TTS)
generate_music — Background music (Suno V3.5–V5)
generate_sfx — Sound effects (ElevenLabs SFX V2)
generate_image — AI images (Nano Banana Pro)
generate_video — AI video clips (Veo 3.1)
generate_subtitles — Transcribe audio/video to SRT (Whisper)
list_assets — List all generated media in the project
TwelveLabs (video understanding)
- Index and analyze video files
- Semantic search within videos ("find the part where...")
- Scene detection, object detection, speaker identification
- Video summarization
Pexels (stock footage)
searchPhotos — Search free stock photos
searchVideos — Search free stock videos
getVideo / getPhoto — Get details by ID
downloadVideo — Download video to project
ElevenLabs (optional — advanced voice)
- Voice cloning from audio samples
- Advanced TTS with custom voices
- Audio isolation and processing
- Transcription
Replicate (optional — 100+ AI models)
replicate_run — Run a model synchronously (images)
replicate_create_prediction — Start async prediction (video)
replicate_get_prediction — Poll prediction status
- Image models: FLUX 1.1 Pro, Imagen 4, Ideogram v3, FLUX Kontext
- Video models: Wan 2.5 (T2V, I2V), Kling 2.6 Pro

Key Principles
- Audio drives timing — Generate voiceover first, get its duration, then set composition length to match.
- Assets go in
public/ — All generated media files (audio, video, images) must be saved to the project's public/ directory so Remotion can access them via staticFile().
- Use Remotion's audio components — Always use
<Audio> component with staticFile() for audio. Never use HTML <audio> tags.
- Frame-based timing — Remotion uses frames, not seconds. Convert with
fps * seconds. At 30fps, 1 second = 30 frames.
- Progressive composition — Build the video in layers: visuals first, then voiceover, then music, then SFX.
- Preview frequently — Use
npm run dev to preview after each major change. The Remotion player updates live.
