Code Your Videos: Programmatic Video Creation with Javascript
summary
Claims that 82% of internet traffic is video and shows a reproducible workflow using Remotion to generate MP4s from React components; demos include a data-driven motion graphic that pulls GitHub API stargazers (first 1,000 of a project) and renders a finished MP4 in minutes instead of a week. Uses standard web tech (React, CSS/Tailwind), API fetches, and even Gemini for helper code; audio can be added in Remotion or layered later — the examples work end-to-end.
