Remotion turns video editing into React code, and Claude Code writes that code for you. Describe the cut you want, captions, transitions, motion, and render everything with one command. This is the exact setup behind my own reels.
Remotion is a free, open-source framework where your video is a React project: every cut, caption and animation is code. Start one with npx create-video@latest. You don't need to know React, that is what Claude is for.

02The editor
Open it in Claude Code
Open the project folder in Claude Code and describe your edit like you'd brief an editor: "cut on the word starts, captions under the hook, punch in on every step." Claude writes the composition, the timing, and the animation code, and shows you the diff before it lands.

03npx remotion render
Render with one command
One command renders the whole edit to MP4: npx remotion render. Same input, same output, every time. Change one line, re-render, done. No timeline scrubbing, no export dialogs, no watermarks.

04Repeatable
Why code beats timelines
Your edit becomes a template. Swap the script, the images, or the branding and re-render a new video in minutes. That is how one edit becomes a content system instead of a one-off. Every reel I ship runs through this exact loop.
The whole setup, start to finish
$ npx create-video@latest $ npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code $ claude # "cut on word starts, captions under the hook" $ npx remotion render
