Ship a launch video without opening After Effects.
A macOS and Linux app where your own coding agent makes the video
as a real Remotion project you own, not a file you rent.
Free and open source. Download it and read the guides at remocn.studio.

Describe the video you want. A coding agent builds it as a real Remotion project. You watch the live preview change while it works, and export an mp4 when it looks right.
This isn't another AI video editor. There's no timeline, no keyframes and no track management. You write prompts, point at things and give notes.
Not a generator. Not a template. AI video tools usually make you pick one: generate pixels you can't edit, or drag in templates everyone recognizes. Remocn Studio takes a third route. The agent writes the motion design as code and takes direction as you watch.
| Pixel generators | Template editors | Remocn Studio | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | A video file | Someone else's layout | A Remotion project |
| Changing one word | Generate it again | Hunt for the layer | Say it, or click it |
| What it looks like | Close enough | Everyone else's video | Your brand |
| Where it lives | Their cloud | Their account | A folder on your disk |
Remocn Studio puts you in the director's chair. You watch the take, then give notes:
"Fix the text here." "The animation is too fast here." "Why did everything break here?"
There are three ways to say here:
- Type it. Plain words in the chat, taken exactly as you wrote them.
- Point at it. Click any element in the preview. Playback pauses and the
properties pane opens, with type, spacing and easing curves as controls you
can drag. Every change is saved into the source. You can double-click text
to rewrite it in place, or drag an object to move or resize it. Add the
element to the chat and it goes along with your message as
[Element #1]. - Frame it. Drag a Snapshot box over the frame and the crop goes into the chat as a picture, ready to talk about.
You don't get a prompt box that hopes for the best. You get a production pipeline with seven stages. At every stage the agent writes a document into your project, so you can read, edit or overrule each decision.
| # | Stage | In the app you'll see | It leaves behind |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Analysis | Analysing the material | analysis.md: audience, promise, format, what's missing |
| 2 | Brand | Collecting the brand | brand.md, plus your original logos, copied unchanged |
| 3 | Script | Writing the script | script.md: every shot, its message, its timing |
| 4 | Motion | Defining the motion language | motion.md: which component plays which shot |
| 5 | Build | Building the video | The scenes themselves, plus keyframes it rendered to check its work |
| 6 | Choreography | Choreographing the whole video | choreography.md: rhythm, continuity, reading time |
| 7 | Review | Reviewing the result | review.md: every note, closed with evidence |
The agent doesn't guess what looks good. A curated set of motion design skills
ships with the app: easing, pacing, typography animation, and a record of what
has failed on screen before. Before calling a video done, the agent runs
design_check, which measures the rendered frames for readability, timing and
handoffs.
 Inspect & edit Click an element and tune its type, tracking, easing and copy. The value goes back into the code. |
 Snapshot Drag a box over the frame. It lands in the chat as a picture. |
 Assets & stock Save clips, images and audio once, then say "use the intro clip". |
 Components Save an animation that works as a component and reuse it in any project. The remocn motion set comes built in. |
 Project brand Drop in a DESIGN.md or set the name and colors once. Every new video starts on brand.
|
 Export MP4, WebM, GIF or ProRes, up to 4K, rendered by the project's own Remotion. |
Also in the kit:
- Every platform's shape. Export presets for YouTube, Shorts · Reels · TikTok and Instagram Feed: wide, vertical and square.
- A moodboard before a single frame. No brand yet? The agent can build a moodboard from stock photos and work from its palette and type.
- Sound and music. Connect your own ElevenLabs account to generate sound effects and music from the chat. Each paid request waits for your approval.
- Motion roles. Every bundled component is tagged with its job: entry, emphasis, exit, scene or transition. The agent picks the one that fits the moment.
You don't need an API key or a separate token bill. The studio drives the command-line tool of a coding agent you already use, signed in with the subscription you already pay for.
| Agent | Sign in on this computer with |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | claude auth login (signing in to Claude Desktop doesn't count) |
| Codex CLI | codex login |
| GitHub Copilot CLI | copilot login |
| Grok Build | grok login |
You don't have to memorize these. The studio shows the exact install and sign-in commands for each agent and can open a terminal window for you to paste them into.
Every video is a standard Remotion project in a folder on your disk. You can open it in your editor, commit it to git and take it anywhere. There's no proprietary format and no lock-in.

- The agent stays in its folder. File edits inside your project run without interrupting you. Any shell command, or any path outside the project, gets a permission card first. You choose the mode (auto, accept edits or plan), and there's no mode that bypasses the cards.
- Nothing leaves your computer without your consent. There's no telemetry, and crash reports are opt-in.
- Your agent setup stays untouched. The studio brings its own skills to
every agent and never writes into
~/.claude,~/.codex,~/.copilotor~/.grok. - Your project stays yours. The studio writes into your project only what a turn or one of your own actions asked for.
- macOS on Apple silicon or Intel, or Linux on x86_64 or aarch64 with glibc 2.35 or newer (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 36, Arch and anything newer)
- One of the cast, installed and signed in on this computer
- On Linux, a Secret Service keyring (GNOME Keyring or KWallet) if you connect an integration; its key is stored there
The studio's environment checklist checks the agent, along with the project's Remotion version and dependencies, and offers a fix for anything that's missing.
Every release carries the same app for both platforms:
| File | Install with |
|---|---|
.dmg |
Open it and drag Remocn Studio to Applications (macOS) |
.AppImage |
chmod +x Remocn*.AppImage and run it; footage codecs are inside |
.deb |
sudo apt install ./Remocn*.deb (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Pop!_OS) |
.rpm |
sudo dnf install ./Remocn*.rpm (Fedora, openSUSE, RHEL) |
The studio updates itself on both, whichever of these you installed.
On Linux the window draws its own frame — close, minimise and maximise sit at
the top left where macOS puts its traffic lights — and there is no menu bar:
every action is in the command palette (Ctrl+K).
Want to build it yourself? You need Bun 1.4 (the exact
version is pinned in packageManager) and the
Tauri prerequisites: a Rust
toolchain, plus the Xcode Command Line Tools on macOS. On Linux you also need
WebKitGTK, libdbus and GStreamer:
# Arch
sudo pacman -S --needed webkit2gtk-4.1 libsoup3 gtk3 librsvg libayatana-appindicator \
dbus patchelf unzip gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-bad gst-libav
# Debian / Ubuntu

The studio has three layers. A Tauri v2 core in Rust owns the window,
the keychain (the Secret Service keyring on Linux) and the updater. The webview is a Next.js static export. A
bun sidecar built on Effect runs the agents, the history, the preview host
and the renderer. The map of the system and the working rules are in
CLAUDE.md.
Bug reports, fixes and ideas are welcome. Start with
CONTRIBUTING.md. It covers setting up, the checks CI
runs, and what a pull request needs.
What the studio does is specified in openspec/specs: one
spec per capability, each written as requirements with scenarios. To change
behavior, open an OpenSpec change. To ship it, record it with
bun run changeset. The reasoning behind each area, including the
measurements and the failed attempts, is in docs/decisions.
