render-video

What problem does it solve?

Rendering Helios compositions to video files currently requires manual steps or fragile pipelines. This Skill automates that workflow, enabling repeatable exports of high-quality videos.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated render scripting: Create and run a Node.js script that renders a composition URL to an MP4 using the @helios-project/renderer.
• Configurable output: Configure resolution, frame rate, duration, and audio tracks to produce tailored video outputs.
• Progress tracking & error handling: Receive progress updates and robustly handle render failures.

Quick Start

Run the render workflow for your local or remote composition by creating a render.js (or render.ts) script that initializes Renderer with your desired settings and calls render(), saving the file as output.mp4. Then execute node render.js or npx ts-node render.ts.
