# Revideo Revideo is a rendering engine for creating videos in code. You describe a scene in TypeScript — shapes, text, media, and animation — and Revideo renders it to a video file. It ships a headless render API for generating videos programmatically and a React player for previewing scenes in the browser. A scene is plain TypeScript, so Claude or Codex can produce one from a prompt. Revideo borrows concepts from Remotion and Rive, but is, in its core, zero dep. It's the engine behind [Midrender](https://midrender.com).
## Getting Started Create a project: ```bash npm init @revideo@latest ``` A scene is a generator function. The example below adds a `` component and animates a scramble: ```tsx import {makeScene2D} from '@revideo/2d'; import {createRef, waitFor} from '@revideo/core'; import {RubiksCube} from './rubiks-cube'; export default makeScene2D('scramble', function* (view) { view.fill('#0d0d12'); const cube = createRef(); view.add(); yield* waitFor(0.5); yield* cube().scramble(18); // 18 animated quarter-turns }); ``` The cube is a single self-contained component ([`rubiks-cube.tsx`](./packages/template/src/rubiks-cube.tsx)): 54 stickers in 3D, orthographically projected in a custom `draw()`, with each quarter-turn animated by interpolating a rotation about the turning layer's axis.  Render it from the command line with [`renderVideo()`](https://docs.re.video/renderer/renderVideo/).
## Capabilities - **Headless rendering** — render a project to a file with `renderVideo()`, or expose a rendering endpoint from your project with the [CLI](https://docs.re.video/render-endpoint). It runs anywhere Node and a headless browser run, including serverless platforms like Google Cloud Run ([example](https://github.com/midrender/examples/tree/main/google-cloud-run)). - **Parallelized rendering** — split a render across workers to cut wall-clock time ([details](https://github.com/midrender/revideo/pull/74)). - **Browser preview** — the React [``](https://docs.re.video/preview-with-player) renders scenes in the browser and accepts dynamic inputs, so the same project drives both preview and final render. - **Media and audio** — `
