remotion_generate_video
Generate complete video compositions by creating all TSX components and project files. After generation, run npm install and npm start to preview your professional video project.
Instructions
Generate the complete video composition and write all files.
Generates all TSX components, the composition file, and updates the project
with the complete video structure. After this, you can run 'npm install'
and 'npm start' in the project directory to preview the video.
Returns:
JSON with generation results and next steps
Example:
result = await remotion_generate_video()
# Video files generated! Run 'npm install' and 'npm start' to previewInput Schema
