Remotion: Making Videos Programmatically with React

I’m sipping my second cup of coffee, and I can feel that familiar buzz that makes me want to dive deep into code. Today, I want to talk about something that feels like a perfect intersection of web development and video creation – Remotion.

What is Remotion?

Remotion is a library that lets you create videos programmatically using React. That’s right – you write your video content in JSX, and it renders out to a video file. The idea isn’t new, but what makes Remotion interesting is how it leverages the familiarity of React components to make video production more accessible.

Expo: A Universal React Native Framework Analysis

I’ve been diving into the Expo codebase recently, and I have to say - this is one of those projects where I’m genuinely excited to explore what makes it tick. It’s like finding a well-organized library that solves a real problem beautifully, but also has enough complexity to keep me curious about all the moving parts.

What Makes Expo Interesting?

Expo isn’t just another React Native framework - it’s essentially a wrapper around React Native that provides a more accessible development experience. The core idea is brilliant: instead of wrestling with platform-specific configurations and native code, you can write universal apps that work across Android, iOS, and the web using pure JavaScript/TypeScript.
