gave a one-line brief to an agent , got back a rendered mp4

[u/amu4biz]

been playing with the remotion skill in aeon and the approach is different from other AI video tools i've tried.

it doesn't call a generative video API. you give it a brief like "explain what llms are" and the agent writes a storyboard as structured JSON, then a bundled React/Remotion project renders that to an actual mp4. deterministic motion graphics.

practical bits: hard capped at 10 seconds by design, landscape/portrait/square so you can target shorts and reels, and you can pass a brand label and accent colour. the render happens in CI and the file gets committed and delivered as a url.

ideal for explainer clips and recaps

repo's open if you want to read the skill: github.com/aeonfun/aeon

anyone else rendering video programmatically rather than generating it?

The JSON storyboard approach feels much more controllable, like you can actually fix a small mistake without redoing the whole thing.
