AI-Generated Videos with React? Claude Code + Remotion Explained

What if creating videos felt more like writing code than editing a timeline?
Remotion is a React-based video library that lets you build MP4 videos entirely in code — and when you pair it with Claude Code, things get wild.

Here’s the workflow:
• You describe what the video should show
• Claude Code writes React components + animations
• You run the render
• You get a finished MP4

No After Effects. No Premiere. No manual keyframes.

This approach shines when you need:
• Data-driven animations
• Reusable video templates
• Automated video generation at scale

Create a template once, change the data file, run a script — and generate dozens (or hundreds) of videos automatically.

I tested this for animated statistics and dashboards.
It wasn’t perfect on the first prompt, but the loop works beautifully:
describe → generate → tweak → render.

There’s even a ready-made Claude.md setup for working with Remotion via Claude Code:

Some of the videos you see here were fully generated by Claude Code using Remotion:

If you like the idea of videos as code, this is absolutely worth trying.
