Render all compositions

In some scenarios, you might find it useful to render all compositions.

Via CLI

You can combine the npx remotion compositions command with a bash loop:

compositions=($(npx remotion compositions src/index.ts -q))

for composition in "${compositions[@]}"
do
  npx remotion render src/index.ts $composition $composition.mp4
done

You can execute it using:

sh ./render-all.sh
note

This only works on UNIX-based systems (Linux, macOS) and on WSL in Windows.

Via Node.JS script

You can create a script that fits you using the Node.JS APIs. Below is an example


import {bundle} from '@remotion/bundler';
import {getCompositions, renderMedia} from '@remotion/renderer';
import {createRequire} from 'module';

const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);

const bundled = await bundle({
  entryPoint: require.resolve('./src/index.ts'),
  // If you have a Webpack override, make sure to add it here
  webpackOverride: (config) => config,
});

const compositions = await getCompositions(bundled);

for (const composition of compositions) {
  console.log(`Rendering ${composition.id}...`);
  await renderMedia({
    codec: 'h264',
    composition,
    serveUrl: bundled,
    outputLocation: `out/${composition.id}.mp4`,
  });
}
node render-all.mjs
