Rendering Videos
Rendering converts your Remotion composition into a downloadable video file.
How to Render
- Click the Render button in the top-right corner of the editor
- Choose an output format from the dropdown: MP4, WebM, GIF, H.265, or VP9
- A progress modal appears showing render status
- When complete, download the file or view it in the Preview tab
Output Formats
- MP4 (H.264) — Most compatible format, works everywhere
- WebM (VP8) — Good for web embedding
- GIF — Animated GIF, no audio support
- H.265 — Better compression, smaller files
- VP9 — High quality, good compression
Render Queue
View all current and past render jobs from the Render Queue page. Each job shows the project name, status, codec, resolution, progress, file size, and date. Download completed renders directly from the queue.
Troubleshooting
- React hooks error — Ensure all hooks are at the top of your component before any conditionals
- File not found — Upload media files to the Media Library before referencing them with staticFile()
- Timeout — Simplify your composition or check for infinite loops
