# Programmatic Video

> Code-based, data-driven video with Remotion, turn a React component into a deterministic, byte-identical MP4 with branded intros, animated charts and diacritic-safe subtitles.

Code-based, data-driven video generation with Remotion, turning a React component into a deterministic MP4. Unlike AI video tools, the same data always produces the same byte-identical video, so it is versionable, testable, and cacheable. It is built to convert real customer report data into animated video summaries with branded intros, animated charts, and diacritic-safe subtitles.

## Use cases
- Turning monthly report metrics into a 30-60s animated video summary
- Adding a branded intro and outro to every customer video
- Animating charts: ranking gains, conversion trends, growth lines
- Rendering diacritic-safe subtitles for social and education clips
- Batch-rendering one template across many clients with different data
- Layering deterministic data and brand on top of AI b-roll footage

## Benefits
- Same data in, same video out: versionable and reproducible renders
- Real metrics flow from props, so fabricated numbers are impossible
- Higher completion than PDFs: a 45s watch beats a two-page document
- One composition outputs multiple aspect ratios (9:16, 16:9, 1:1)

## What’s included
- Remotion React-to-MP4 composition templates with sequences
- Zod props validation that aborts render on missing or fake data
- Deterministic render patterns (no Math.random or Date.now)
- Isolated batch render jobs so one failure does not stop the batch
- Render infrastructure cost guide: self-host vs serverless Lambda
- Subtitle and audio-track sync with platform-specific aspect ratios

## Who it’s for
Agencies and product teams who want reproducible, branded, data-driven videos rendered from code rather than one-off AI clips.

## How it runs
Feed it the same report twice and you get the same video twice. Rendering is code, every number is schema-validated against a real source, and platform formats fall out of one composition.
1. Draws the category line first: this is deterministic, code-rendered video (React component to MP4), where the same input data always produces the same file. AI-generated cinematic video is a separate, complementary layer.
2. Validates the input data with a schema before any render: every number in the video must come from a real report source, and a missing or speculative field cancels the render instead of slipping through.
3. Builds the composition as React sequences: branded intro, metric counters animated frame by frame from the props, chart animations, then an outro with the call to action.
4. Enforces determinism inside the composition: no Math.random or Date.now, only seeded randomness, so renders are reproducible, testable and cacheable.
5. Picks render infrastructure by volume: a self-hosted server for single videos, parallel serverless chunks for batches, with each video in a batch rendered as an isolated job so one failure never stops the rest.
6. Outputs the MP4 plus a subtitle file, derives platform formats (9:16, 16:9, 1:1) from the same composition via props, and routes any client-facing video through the approval gate before delivery.

## FAQ
### Do I need to know React to get videos out of this?
Yes, at least enough to work with components, because the whole mechanism is Remotion turning a React component into an MP4. The templates and sequence patterns are provided, but the composition lives in code you can read and edit.

### What does deterministic actually buy me over an AI video tool?
The same data always produces the same byte-identical video, so renders are versionable, testable, and cacheable, and real metrics flow from Zod-validated props that abort the render on missing or fake data. AI tools give you a different clip every run; this gives you a reproducible pipeline.

### Can it generate creative footage or visuals on its own?
No. It renders what your React components and data describe; it does not imagine scenes. For b-roll you bring AI-generated footage separately and layer the deterministic data and brand elements on top.
