npx remotion compositions

Available from v2.6.12.

Print list of composition IDs based on a path of an entry point.

bash
npx remotion compositions <entry-file>
bash
npx remotion compositions <entry-file>

If entry-file is not passed, Remotion will try to detect the entry file with the following priority order:

  1. Get the path from the Config (Can be set using Config.setEntryPoint("<entry-point>")).
  2. Look for some common paths i.e. src/index.ts, src/index.tsx, src/index.js, remotion/index.js.
  3. Fail as entry point could not be determined.

Flags​

--props​

React Props that can be retrieved using getInputProps(). Must be a serialized JSON string (--props='{"hello": "world"}') or a path to a JSON file (./path/to/props.json).

info

Inline JSON string isn't supported on Windows because it removes the " character, use a temporary file instead.

--config​

Specify a location for the Remotion config file.

--env-filev2.2.0​

Specify a location for a dotenv file - Default .env. Read about how environment variables work in Remotion.

--bundle-cache​

Enable or disable Webpack caching. This flag is enabled by default, use --bundle-cache=false to disable caching.

--log​

Set the log level. Increase or decrease the amount of output. Acceptable values: error, warn, info (default), verbose

info

If you don't feel like passing command line flags every time, consider creating a remotion.config.ts config file.

--port​

Set a custom HTTP server port to host the Webpack bundle. If not defined, Remotion will try to find a free port.

--public-dirv3.2.13​

Define the location of the public/ directory.. If not defined, Remotion will assume the location is the public folder in your Remotion root.

--timeout​

Define how long it may take to resolve all delayRender() calls before the composition fetching times out in milliseconds. Default: 30000.

info

Not to be confused with the --timeout flag when deploying a Lambda function.

--ignore-certificate-errors​

Results in invalid SSL certificates in Chrome, such as self-signed ones, being ignored.

--disable-web-security​

available since v2.6.5

This will most notably disable CORS in Chrome among other security features.

--disable-headless​

Opens an actual browser to observe the composition fetching.

--enable-multiprocess-on-linuxv4.0.42​

Removes the --single-process flag that gets passed to Chromium on Linux by default. This will make the render faster because multiple processes can be used, but may cause issues with some Linux distributions or if window server libraries are missing.

--user-agentv3.3.83​

Lets you set a custom user agent that the headless Chrome browser assumes.

--offthreadvideo-cache-size-in-bytesv4.0.23​

From v4.0, Remotion has a cache for <OffthreadVideo> frames. The default is null, corresponding to half of the system memory available when the render starts.
This option allows to override the size of the cache. The higher it is, the faster the render will be, but the more memory will be used.
The used value will be printed when running in verbose mode.
Default: null

--quiet, --q​

Only prints the composition IDs, separated by a space.

--ffmpeg-executable​

removed in v4.0

Set a custom ffmpeg executable. If not defined, a ffmpeg executable will be searched in PATH.

--ffprobe-executable​

removed in v4.0

Set a custom ffprobe executable. If not defined, a ffprobe executable will be searched in PATH.
