// how it works

How it works

  1. Define scenes in React

    Write video as TypeScript components.

  2. Let AI generate

    Agents and LLM pipelines write the scenes.

  3. Render the video

    Compile components to finished files.

  4. Automate

    Run production in CI or pipelines.

Questions, answered

Is rendiv free for commercial use?

Apache 2.0 licensed — commercial use allowed with attribution.

How is it different from Remotion?

Similar idea, AI-first positioning — compare features directly.

Do I need React knowledge?

Yes — scenes are React and TypeScript.

Can LLMs really write the scenes?

That is the design goal — structured components suit generation.

What renders the video?

Check the README for the rendering pipeline.
