Earlier quoted context omitted.

Revideo is different to Remotion.dev in a couple of ways: First, we use generator functions to describe the flow of animations - every yield within the generator function corresponds to a frame in the video. As a result, our API feels quite "procedural" (animations described at the start of the function appear in the start of the video, animations described at the end appear at the end). Remotion's React-based approa…

I built a large remotion powered video generation pipeline for a major AI video company and one of the major challenges was cost of generating a video. 1 instance of Remotion at best generates 1-2 fullhd frame per second on server and that turns out to be quite expensive for slightly larger videos. From my benchmarking, taking screenshots was the slowest part of their pipeline. Any sense on how many frames revideo ca…

It really depends on the complexity of the scene. We're only getting started on optimizing rendering and I'm convinced that we can get it to be significantly more performant/cheaper than Remotion. Right now we're faster in some cases and slightly slower in others. Feel free to contact me at konsti at re.video. I would love to understand your use-case and see if and how we could help you.

This looks very cool! I have built a project using remotion to bake in subtitles with some effects to a video from a .srt file, but this approach looks nicer and FOSS is amazing so I'll have a go at porting it. Thanks!

Thank you! If you have any questions or run into issues, please let us know! You can find out Discord server in our repo or can email me at justus at re.video

Also, I forgot to mention: We have an example project that focuses specifically on subtitles with some visual effects, this could be helpful: https://github.com/redotvideo/examples/tree/main/youtube-sho...

I love mucking around with canvases and videos, so I will certainly be checking this out!

On a selfish note, as a canvas library developer/maintainer, I do have questions around your choice of Motion Canvas: what attracted you to that library in particular (I'm assuming it's the Editor, but could be wrong)?

On a broader note, my main interest in canvas+video center around responsive, interactive and accessible video displays in web pages. Have you had any thoughts on how you'd like to develop Revideo to support these sorts of functionalities?

I can't be the only one that has assumed an affiliation with Retool based on the "Re-" prefix and similar logo, even though there doesn't seem to be any.

Justus here, I'm one of the co-creators of Revideo. I agree that there's a high similarity. We unfortunately only noticed this a few weeks after launching - our logo was inspired by the tracks you see in video editors.

Given that we are not a Retool competitor and operate in very different spaces, I would think and hope that this is not an issue for the Retool team

Looks nice! Might want to disable pixel snapping for the text resizing since it yanks a little bit (Firefox on Mac at least).

I made an experiment in a similar style a while ago, but I decided it was too difficult to keep going as a "tiny" side project so never really released anything beyond a demo that you can see here:
