Make each directory answerable by path alone: src/ is what the Remotion build compiles, scripts/ is what you run by hand. Removed: - `ffmpeg.sh` — never worked; every parameter was assigned `$1`, so bake/bypass were broken from the start. Superseded by `scripts/ffmpeg_tools.py bake|still`. - `src/lrc2srt.ts` — the TypeScript port; `scripts/lrc2srt.py` is the script that was actually maintained, and it now handles the multi-timestamp cases the TS version did. - `scripts/bom-gen.ts` — superseded by `scripts/bom_gen.py`. - `scripts/ffmpegusage.txt` — legacy command notebook. Every recipe in it is now reproduced by `ffmpeg_tools.py`, including the `-map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 -c:v copy` mux and the FLAC `-compression_level 12` case, so it has no unique content left. Also drops the `bom-gen` alias from the dispatcher (dash-case was TypeScript naming) and documents the boundary in README.md and REMOTION-QUICKSTART.md. `npm run lint` (eslint src && tsc) passes with src/ reduced to Remotion input.

Remotion Quickstart
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- ffmpeg installed on your system
Getting started
npm install # install dependencies
npm run dev # start Remotion Studio
Remotion Studio opens at http://localhost:3000 in your browser. If 3000 is already in use, Remotion automatically bumps to 3001, 3002, etc. — watch the terminal output for the actual port number. You can also pin a specific port:
npx remotion studio --port=3001
Commands
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
npm run dev |
Starts Remotion Studio (live preview UI) |
npm run build |
Bundles the project for production |
npx remotion render |
Renders a video from the command line |
npx remotion upgrade |
Upgrades all Remotion packages to latest |
Remotion Studio
npm run dev starts the Studio — a browser-based editor where you can:
- Preview compositions in real time
- Scrub through frames
- Change props and see changes instantly
- Render videos from the browser
The Studio auto-reloads on file changes. No manual refresh needed.

src/ and scripts/ do not mix: the former is what the video build compiles, the
latter is what you run by hand.
Compositions
Compositions are defined in src/Composition.tsx. Each has:
- id — unique name
- durationInFrames — length in frames
- fps — frames per second
- width/height — resolution
The placeholder is 1280×720 at 30fps, 60 frames (2 seconds).
Rendering a video
npx remotion render src/index.ts MyComp out/video.mp4
Replace MyComp with your composition ID. The output goes to out/.
