How to generate repo-committed video content (README hero videos, case-study clips, landing demos) with Remotion. Covers project layout, fonts and colors that match the brand, audio sourcing, rendering in a worker container, the full-range yuvj420p gotcha, CI exclusions, and the "honest read" pacing principle. Use whenever you are asked to create a video from a Remotion project, animate a wireframe, or re-render an existing Remotion project. For a design-led one-off showreel use open-prompt-showreel instead.

# Video generation (Remotion)

Remotion (React + TypeScript) is the stack for videos that live in a repo: README heroes, landing demos, case-study clips, thread dramatizations. `assets/video-source/` in `desplega-ai/agent-swarm` is the reference implementation; read it before starting a new project.

## Golden rules

1. **Remotion for repo-committed video.** `npx remotion studio` for previews, `remotion render` for mp4s. For a one-off design-led cut with no repo, use `open-prompt-showreel` instead.
2. **Ask for audio, don't pick it.** Music is a brand call. A person on the team chooses the track (CC0 or CC BY 4.0, for example from https://freesound.org). Never grab something yourself; ask. There is no default bed.
3. **Attribute in the video folder's README.** Artist name, source URL, license. Not in the repo root README; in the video project's own README.
4. **Design tokens mirror the product.** Pull colors and fonts from the product's own `globals.css` (Agent Swarm: Space Grotesk + Space Mono, zinc dark palette, amber `#f2a93b` accent). Do not invent new ones.
5. **Honest read pacing.** The first draft always over-packs the opening and under-weights the payoff. Compress setup scenes, expand the one that carries the message. See "Pacing" below.
6. **One Remotion project, many compositions.** Do not spin up a new repo per video. Register additional `<Composition>` entries in `src/Root.tsx` and add a `build:<slug>` script.
