Make A Video For A Podcast With Remotion

  • NOTE: I'm having problems with mp3s not having the proper lenght on them... might be vairalbe bitrate thing, not sure
  • Watch out that the time VLC reports for the mp3 might not be accurate if you do a variable bitrate export from davanci.
  • Better to get the length from the value inside davinci itself
  • There's a built in templte for it if you start a new project with:

    npx create-video@latest

  • It takes a long time to generate. A 20min podcast episode took about an hour to render
  • The defautl output was 1080x1080. I switched it to 1920x1080
  • The cover art doesn't size dynamically. I made it 600x600 which worked well
  • Also need to set the title in the config
  • The built in template includes showing a transcript. I'm working on a process to set those up, but the open source software they listed for making them didn't work for me
  • I left the transcript file in place, but set the number of lines to output for it to zero in the config and it went away
