I made a launch video with Remotion, here's what I learned

Building stuff is easy at this stage, the marketing side isn't. Motion designers are expensive and after effects has a steep learning curve so I figure I'd share my experience. I discovered Remotion end of last year and it's been an unreal way to create some quick videos based on the actual react components of my real application making animations look really slick. Here's how I suggest going about one of these videos, hopefully it helps you too: 1. Create a storyboard for the video and decide on the sequences, frames and what the animation should do and contain. Describe the camera movements (pan, zoom etc.) and write it all down in file somewhere. 2. Share this initial skeleton with Claude Code (assuming you have installed Remotion already) and ask it to set up the general skeleton with rough timings per sequence based on your storyboard. 3. Start working out your sequences one by one with clear detail and instructions on how you want it to behave using the Remotion…
