Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 15/09/2025Today is the day! Full WebCodecs support is now available in all major browsers, unlocking true multimedia processing in the frontend! And the best way to harness the power: Mediabunny 🐰 050
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 08/09/2025What’s next for Remotion? 2 huge features: • A more efficient <Video /> tag for speed gains • In-browser rendering! Limited features but good enough for many videos. This will be my main focus going forward! Goal: This year 🔐 010
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 06/06/2025Our next WebCodecs API: extractFrames()! With this primitive, you can efficiently extract thumbnails for displaying a preview in your editor. No <video> tag involved! Filmstrips now show in the Remotion Studio and in the Pro <Timeline> component! 110
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 03/06/2025Captions just like on TikTok 🚀 • New fitTextOnNLines() API in next version of Remotion • <TikTokTextBox> component with auto-rounded corners – source in comments! 110
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 28/04/2025Remotion Media Parser is finished! 🥳✅ Next step: Produce a big proud announcement video and run it on all channels. In the meanwhile start using it today, IYKYK! 010
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 22/04/2025You can now extract a 16kHz WAVE file from any video using @remotion/webcodecs and on remotion.dev/convert! This is useful because this is the input format that Whisper expects. This is the first step towards a nice API for transcribing in the browser! 100
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 16/04/2025New Remotion template for musicians 🎵 • `bun create video --music-visualization` • Drop in your music • Customize components and CSS if you like • `bunx remotion render` Enjoy your music visualizer! 010
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 21/03/2025You've been wondering what @wcandillon.bsky.app has been up to... 010
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 19/03/2025This is the structure of a .webm file. To create one, we need to put information in the beginning of the file that we only know at the end of the process. That is why videos with MediaRecorder() show no duration and why they are slow to seek when playing them back. 100
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 07/03/2025New API for running parseMedia() on Web Workers! Keeps the main unblocked even for large files to reduce lag. All the communication between main thread and worker is automatically handled, and it works exactly like parseMedia(). Bliss! 000
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 06/03/2025WebCodecs has no limits 🔫 🕶️ Just converted the full "Terminator" movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger from a sketchy .m3u8 URL to .mp4 4K, 107 minutes, 10GB file size, completely client side, it works! 000
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 06/03/2025Feels good to have finally done all the work to support all major video and audio formats! Only one step away from stable release: Seeking support! Let's get it 👊 010

They want to elevate their editor experience with WebCodecs and the Media Parser project is just what they need. We gain a great partner to battletest our parser against 💪 010
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 28/02/2025Remotion Docs now feature an "Ask AI" button! Use it to find the right command or API, or ask it to write you a Remotion component! 000
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 27/02/2025We now have a Remotion Starter that uses React Router 7! 🤩 I predict this is going to become a popular way to build apps! www.remotion.dev/templates/re... 030
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 26/02/2025New in Remotion: You can now programmatically set a default output name, for example to include the current date Suggested by @FernandoTheRojo! 000

Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 22/02/2025I don't know exactly what drama is going on here But half a million MRR with a Remotion app is wild if true! 000

Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 06/02/2025Shoutout to Adobe for filing the best bug reports 😂 A minimal MP3 with custom album cover to demonstrate that we have a bug 🫠 010
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 30/01/2025In January, about 28% of the conversions failed on remotion.dev/convert Making a new video converter is super hard, and I need some help making it as correct as possible. If a conversion fails, you can now let me know at remotion.dev/report and I will let you know when it's fixed! 010
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 29/01/2025Upgraded Remotion templates to ESLint 9 + Flat Config! Deleting 170 packages from node_modules 🤯 000

Works with .mp4, .mov, .webm, .mkv, .avi, .ts, .mp3, .aac, .wav, .flac There is also a callback API, that allows you to get fields as soon as they are available, without having to wait for the full query. 000
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 23/01/2025The progress has been insane recently! We now understand all of these formats. In gray, the ones I plan to add! And after we speak the language of multimedia, we'll add more use cases besides conversion. At this rate of progress, the game will be completely different at the end of 2025! 000
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 22/01/2025H.265 is supported now on remotion.dev/convert and in convertMedia()! 010
Jonny Burger @jonny.io · 21/01/2025@remotion/media-parser now reads .aac, .flac and .wav files! Yes, that's THREE new parsers I wrote last weekend.
