![Remotion Render](https://cloud.inference.sh/app/files/u/4mg21r6ta37mpaz6ktzwtt8krr/01kg2c0egyg243mnyth4y6g51q.jpeg)

## Quick Start

```bash
# Install CLI
curl -fsSL https://cli.inference.sh | sh && infsh login

# Render a simple animation
infsh app run infsh/remotion-render --input '{
  "code": "import { useCurrentFrame, AbsoluteFill } from \"remotion\"; export default function Main() { const frame = useCurrentFrame(); return <AbsoluteFill style={{backgroundColor: \"#000\", display: \"flex\", justifyContent: \"center\", alignItems: \"center\"}}><h1 style={{color: \"white\", fontSize: 100, opacity: frame / 30}}>Hello World</h1></AbsoluteFill>; }",
  "duration_seconds": 3,
  "fps": 30,
  "width": 1920,
  "height": 1080
}'
```

> **Install note:** The [install script](https://cli.inference.sh) only detects your OS/architecture, downloads the matching binary from `dist.inference.sh`, and verifies its SHA-256 checksum. No elevated permissions or background processes. [Manual install & verification](https://dist.inference.sh/cli/checksums.txt) available.

## Input Schema

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `code` | string | Yes | React component TSX code. Must export default a component. |
| `composition_id` | string | No | Composition ID to render |
| `props` | object | No | Props passed to the component |

## Available Imports

Your TSX code can import from `remotion` and `react`:

```tsx
// Remotion APIs
import {
  useCurrentFrame,
  useVideoConfig,
  spring,
  interpolate,
  AbsoluteFill,
  Sequence,
  Audio,
  Video,
  Img
} from "remotion";

// React
import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
```

## Python SDK

```python
from inferencesh import inference

client = inference()

result = client.run({
    "app": "infsh/remotion-render",
    "input": {
        "code": """
import { useCurrentFrame, AbsoluteFill, interpolate } from "remotion";

export default function Main() {
  const frame = useCurrentFrame();
  const opacity = interpolate(frame, [0, 30], [0, 1]);

  return (
    <AbsoluteFill style={{
      backgroundColor: "#1a1a2e",
      display: "flex",
      justifyContent: "center",
      alignItems: "center"
    }}>
      <h1 style={{ color: "#eee", fontSize: 80, opacity }}>
        Hello from Python
      </h1>
    </AbsoluteFill>
  );
}
""",
        "duration_seconds": 3,
        "fps": 30,
        "width": 1920,
        "height": 1080
    }
})

print(result["output"]["video"])
```

### Streaming Progress

```python
for update in client.run({
    "app": "infsh/remotion-render",
    "input": {
        "code": "...",
        "duration_seconds": 10
    }
}, stream=True):
    if update.get("progress"):
        print(f"Rendering: {update['progress']}%")
    if update.get("output"):
        print(f"Video: {update['output']['video']}")
```
