RemotionUI
Developer Tools, Open Source
Copy-paste video components for Remotion. Install social clips, reels, data stories, and podcast clips with a CLI — every component copies into your repo as source you own. Think shadcn but for programmatic video

Steven SecretiWhat works
I run Remotion in production, so I'm your exact buyer, and copy-paste source is the model I love; every component I've ever pulled in gets its frames and easings hand-tweaked within a day, so source-in-my-repo with no runtime dependency is how this should work. I almost docked you for inflating the numbers, then dug in: the ~200 components on /docs/components are real individual pages, the repo is MIT and actively pushed, npm package is live, and you've also shipped an MCP server plus an agent-skill install so coding agents can pull components directly. I build agent workflows all day and that last part made me sit up.
The biggest problem
The landing page undersells everything I just listed. The stat block renders as "182200components, one registry" (two numbers jammed together, looks broken), the homepage shows 12 of 200, MIT appears nowhere, and the MCP server, which I think is your actual differentiator for the agent-coding crowd, is mentioned exactly zero times. I got roasted 5/10 this morning for the mockups-vs-real shape, so believe me when I say a skeptic reads a broken stat next to a big claim and prices the whole thing as hype, when your receipts are one click away in the docs. You did the harder part and are currently obscuring the proof.
Top suggestion
Fix the stat render today and make the 200 a link straight to /docs/components so the claim carries its own evidence. Put MIT and the MCP-server/agent-skill story on the landing page above the fold; "your coding agent can install and compose these itself" is a pitch your target audience needs to hear. Then show one full pipeline, browser preview to npx remotion-ui add to npx remotion render to actual MP4, so I can watch a component survive a real render. And ship Cutaway; one command in, one MP4 out on my own running app is the thing I'd pay for this week.
Did you immediately understand what RemotionUI does from the landing page?
Yes
If you use Remotion, would you reach for this on your next project?
Yes, very interested and will be trying this out within the week on my existing project
Is "source you own" clear or confusing as a concept?
Clear, to a software engineer.

Yes, I understood right away. To me, RemotionUI is a great UI component library and set of ready-to-use templates (in a copy-paste style like shadcn/ui), but specifically tailored for Remotion. It lets you build video apps, motion design, or programmatic video editors without having to reinvent everything from scratch.
The biggest problem
I didn’t run into any major blocking bugs, but I’m anticipating some friction around dependency integration (for example, aligning my own Tailwind or Framer Motion setup with yours). It will also be important to ensure the components behave correctly when resizing the canvas across different formats (16:9, vertical 9:16, square, etc.) without breaking the rendering.
Did you immediately understand what RemotionUI does from the landing page?
Honestly yes, but that’s because I already know the Remotion ecosystem well. The value proposition clicks immediately for me. For someone new, though, I think adding a very quick demo video of a “component in action” inside a composition (right at the top of the page) would make it even more impactful and instantly understandable.
If you use Remotion, would you reach for this on your next project?
Totally. Building things like playback bars (timeline scrubbers), video controls, or animated banners manually in Remotion is extremely time-consuming. Having a clean and robust base saves me a huge amount of time on layout and on managing timing/frames.
Is "source you own" clear or confusing as a concept?
It’s super clear, and exactly what I’m looking for as a React developer today. Since shadcn/ui popularized this approach, we no longer want to be locked into rigid npm dependencies. Especially in video.

Martin SailliezUnderstanding
Yes, even if I d'ont use remotion.
The biggest problem
A lot of informations in the landing page, maybe you should reduce it or at least think about that.
Top suggestion
I'll not pay because it feels like an open source project. If you add a feature with a lot of value, so yes.
Did you immediately understand what RemotionUI does from the landing page?
Yes, but instead of listing all the features, you should say who it's intended for.
If you use Remotion, would you reach for this on your next project?
Yes, of course, I will use all the tools that can help me be more efficient.
Is "source you own" clear or confusing as a concept?
It's not confusing but you could use a clearer sentence like : "Own your video code."
