I built a large remotion powered video generation pipeline for a major AI video company and one of the major challenges was cost of generating a video. 1 instance of Remotion at best generates 1-2 fullhd frame per second on server and that turns out to be quite expensive for slightly larger videos. From my benchmarking, taking screenshots was the slowest part of their pipeline. Any sense on how many frames revideo can generate. Since you could do canvas.toBlob, I am wondering if it's faster.


It really depends on the complexity of the scene. We're only getting started on optimizing rendering and I'm convinced that we can get it to be significantly more performant/cheaper than Remotion. Right now we're faster in some cases and slightly slower in others. Feel free to contact me at konsti at re.video. I would love to understand your use-case and see if and how we could help you.
