Required companion: Remotion's official Agent Skills
Remotion Superpowers layers on top of Remotion's 12 official skills (remotion-best-practices, remotion-captions, remotion-create, remotion-docs, remotion-interactivity, remotion-maps, remotion-markup, remotion-multimedia, remotion-render, remotion-saas, remotion-studio, remotion-upgrade). This plugin owns media generation; the official skills own markup, scaffolding, preview, captions and rendering.
- Install:
npx skills add remotion-dev/skills(detects the installed agents and installs to each; select all 12 if asked) - Update:
npx remotion upgradefrom the project (also updates project-local skills), ornpx skills update <the 12 names> --yeswhen@remotion/cliisn't installed - New project: scaffold as official
remotion-createsays: inspect the folder first, thennpx create-video@latest --yes --blank --no-tailwind(.for an empty folder, or a subfolder name), thennpm i. Don't recommend Tailwind unless the user asks. - Launch directory: start the agent from the Remotion project root; remotion-media tools write to
public/of the directory the agent was launched from.
Provider skills this plugin builds on
- ElevenLabs (voice, SFX, music, transcription):
npx skills add elevenlabs/skills. Generation runs through its SDK withELEVENLABS_API_KEY. The ElevenLabs MCP server in this plugin is deprecated upstream and kept for one more release. - Replicate (optional models):
npx skills add replicate/skills, with the localreplicate-mcpserver andREPLICATE_API_TOKEN. - TwelveLabs has no Agent Skills; point to https://docs.twelvelabs.io.
Optional add-ons (not bundled)
Official servers from other providers that pair well with Remotion videos. Mention them only if the user asks for more models:
- fal: official MCP server with hundreds of image and video models (https://fal.ai/docs/documentation/setting-up/mcp)
- Runway: official MCP server for Runway video models (https://github.com/runwayml/runway-api-mcp-server)
- Google Gemini: official
google-gemini/gemini-skillsfor Veo and Imagen via the Gemini API - Codex users: OpenAI's official Remotion plugin covers Remotion markup; this plugin adds the media on top.
