npx remotion lambda sites

The npx remotion lambda sites command allows to create, view and delete Remotion projects in your S3 bucket.

create

npx remotion lambda sites create src/index.ts
npx remotion lambda sites create src/index.ts

Bundle and upload a Remotion video to an S3 bucket.

The result will be a URL such as https://remotionlambda-12345.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/sites/abcdef/index.html.

note

If you make changes locally, you need to redeploy the site. Use --site-name to overwrite an existing site.

You can use this "Serve URL" to render a video on Remotion Lambda using:

If you are rendering on Lambda, you can also pass the site Name (in this case abcdef) as an abbreviation.

Example output
(1/3) [====================] Bundled video 3975ms
(2/3) [====================] Created bucket 457ms
(3/3) [====================] Uploaded to S3 25118ms

Deployed to S3!
Serve URL: https://remotionlambda-12345.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/sites/abcdef/index.html
Site Name: abcdef

--region

The AWS region to select. Both project and function should be in this region.

--site-name

Uploads the project to a specific directory and returns a deterministic URL. If a site already existed under this name, it will be overwritten. Can only contain the following characters: 0-9, a-z, A-Z, -, !, _, ., *, ', (, )

npx remotion lambda sites create src/index.ts --site-name=my-project
npx remotion lambda sites create src/index.ts --site-name=my-project

--force-bucket-name

Specify a specific bucket name to be used. This is not recommended, instead let Remotion discover the right bucket automatically.

--privacy

Either public (default) or no-acl if you are not using ACL. Sites must have a public URL to be able to be rendered on Lambda, since the headless browser opens that URL.

Example output
(1/3) [====================] Bundled video 3975ms
(2/3) [====================] Created bucket 457ms
(3/3) [====================] Uploaded to S3 25118ms

Deployed to S3!
https://remotionlambda-12345.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/sites/my-project/index.html

ls

npx remotion lambda sites ls
npx remotion lambda sites ls

Get a list of sites. The URL that is printed can be passed to the render command to render a video.

Example output
Site Name             Bucket                        Size      Last updated

testbed remotionlambda-abcdefg 14.7 MB 2021-12-02
https://remotionlambda-abcdefg.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/sites/testbed/index.html

--region

--quiet, -q

Returns only a list of space-separated sites.

npx remotion lambda sites ls -q
npx remotion lambda sites ls -q
Example output
pr6fwglz05 testbed

rm

Removes a site (or multiple) from S3 by its ID.

bash
npx remotion lambda sites rm abcdef
npx remotion lambda sites rm abcdef my-project # multiple at once
bash
npx remotion lambda sites rm abcdef
npx remotion lambda sites rm abcdef my-project # multiple at once
Example output
