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-file​

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-dir​

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​
