Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.maptiler.com, assets4.lottiefiles.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned remotion-dev/remotion at d458be6a37.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides best practices for using Remotion, a framework for creating videos with code. It helps users optimize their workflows, troubleshoot common issues, and leverage advanced features to produce high-quality video projects programmatically. The skill aims to improve efficiency and creative control when generating videos through automated processes.

When to use it

  • Troubleshooting Remotion errors: If you're encountering unexpected behavior or errors in your Remotion code.
  • Optimizing rendering performance: To speed up the video generation process, especially for complex projects.
  • Learning advanced techniques: To explore and implement more sophisticated features within Remotion.
  • Improving project structure: For organizing larger Remotion projects to enhance maintainability and collaboration.

Key capabilities

  • Provides guidance on efficient coding practices in Remotion.
  • Offers solutions for common rendering issues.
  • Details best practices for project organization.
  • Suggests optimizations for performance improvements.

Example prompts

  • "What's the best way to handle large datasets when generating videos with Remotion?"
  • "How can I optimize my Remotion script to reduce rendering time?"
  • "I’m getting an error in my Remotion code; what are some common debugging steps?"

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes a basic understanding of JavaScript and video editing concepts. While it offers solutions, familiarity with the Remotion framework is recommended for optimal utilization.
