03Services — Video as a system

Remotion & Programmatic Video

Video generated from data and rendered in React. Thousands of personalised cuts from one designed system.

When you need one film, you hire an editor. When you need four thousand — personalised, localised, regenerated whenever the data changes — you need a system. Remotion lets us build video as a React application: components, props, version control, CI rendering.

We design the template, build the composition, wire it to your data, and hand over a render pipeline your engineers can run. The output is real video files, produced by machine, designed by hand.

What you get

Deliverables

  • 01Remotion compositions built as typed React components
  • 02Data schema and prop contracts for every dynamic field
  • 03Render pipeline — Lambda, containerised, or CI-triggered
  • 04Design system bindings so video inherits your brand tokens
  • 05Preview studio for non-technical review and approval
  • 06Handover documentation and pairing sessions with your team
Process

01

Schema

We start from the data. What varies, what is bounded, what breaks at extremes — long names, missing fields, right-to-left scripts.

02

Template

The composition designed as a system: every dynamic field with defined overflow behaviour and a tested worst case.

03

Pipeline

Rendering wired into your infrastructure. Lambda for burst, containers for volume, CI for regeneration on data change.

04

Handover

Documentation, pairing sessions and a preview studio so your team can extend templates without calling us.

Engagements

One composition, production-ready

Template build

A single data-driven template, typed, tested against edge cases, with local rendering set up.

From $12,000

Templates plus rendering infrastructure

Pipeline build

Multiple templates and a deployed render pipeline integrated with your data source and triggered by your systems.

From $30,000

Ongoing template design

Systems retainer

New templates, seasonal variants and maintenance for teams running programmatic video continuously.

From $7,500 / month

Timeline — 4–6 weeks for a template; 10–16 weeks for a full pipeline.

A good fit for

  • Personalised video at volume — onboarding, year-in-review, account summaries
  • Localisation across many languages from one designed source
  • Data-driven reporting films that must regenerate as numbers change

Not a fit for

  • A single hero film — that is a motion project, and cheaper as one
  • Templates where every output needs individual art direction
  • Teams with no engineering capacity to own the pipeline afterwards

Questions
Why Remotion rather than After Effects templating?

Version control, real types, component reuse, and rendering that scales horizontally without a licensed workstation. If your volume is low and your team lives in After Effects, we will say so.

Who owns and runs the pipeline afterwards?

You do. We build it in your infrastructure, document it, and pair with your engineers until they are comfortable. We are not trying to become a dependency.

Can it use our existing design tokens?

That is the point. Compositions import your token package, so brand changes propagate to video without a redesign.
