+---
+
+A `<Composition>` defines the component, width, height, fps and duration of a renderable video.
+
+It normally is placed in the `src/Root.tsx` file.
+
+```tsx
+import { Composition } from "remotion";
+import { MyComposition } from "./MyComposition";
+
+export const RemotionRoot = () => {
+  return (
+    <Composition
+      id="MyComposition"
+      component={MyComposition}
+      durationInFrames={100}
+      fps={30}
+      width={1080}
+      height={1080}
+    />
+  );
+};
+```
+
+## Default Props
+
+Pass `defaultProps` to provide initial values for your component.  
+Values must be JSON-serializable (`Date`, `Map`, `Set`, and `staticFile()` are supported).
+
+```tsx
+import { Composition } from "remotion";
+import { MyComposition, MyCompositionProps } from "./MyComposition";
+
+export const RemotionRoot = () => {
+  return (
+    <Composition
+      id="MyComposition"
+      component={MyComposition}
+      durationInFrames={100}
+      fps={30}
+      width={1080}
+      height={1080}
+      defaultProps={
+        {
+          title: "Hello World",
+          color: "#ff0000",
+        } satisfies MyCompositionProps
+      }
+    />
+  );
+};
+```
+
+Use `type` declarations for props rather than `interface` to ensure `defaultProps` type safety.
+
+## Folders
+
+Use `<Folder>` to organize compositions in the sidebar.  
+Folder names can only contain letters, numbers, and hyphens.
+
+```tsx
+import { Composition, Folder } from "remotion";
+
+export const RemotionRoot = () => {
+  return (
+    <>
+      <Folder name="Marketing">
+        <Composition id="Promo" /* ... */ />
+        <Composition id="Ad" /* ... */ />
+      </Folder>
+      <Folder name="Social">
+        <Folder name="Instagram">
+          <Composition id="Story" /* ... */ />
+          <Composition id="Reel" /* ... */ />
+        </Folder>
+      </Folder>
+    </>
+  );
+};
+```
+
+## Stills
+
+Use `<Still>` for single-frame images. It does not require `durationInFrames` or `fps`.
+
+```tsx
+import { Still } from "remotion";
+import { Thumbnail } from "./Thumbnail";
+
+export const RemotionRoot = () => {
+  return (
+    <Still id="Thumbnail" component={Thumbnail} width={1280} height={720} />
+  );
+};
+```
+
+## Calculate Metadata
+
+Use `calculateMetadata` to make dimensions, duration, or props dynamic based on data.
+
+```tsx
+import { Composition, CalculateMetadataFunction } from "remotion";
+import { MyComposition, MyCompositionProps } from "./MyComposition";
+
+const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<
+  MyCompositionProps
+> = async ({ props, abortSignal }) => {
+  const data = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/video/${props.videoId}`, {
+    signal: abortSignal,
+  }).then((res) => res.json());
+
+  return {
+    durationInFrames: Math.ceil(data.duration * 30),
+    props: {
+      ...props,
+      videoUrl: data.url,
+    },
+  };
+};
+
+export const RemotionRoot = () => {
+  return (
+    <Composition
+      id="MyComposition"
+      component={MyComposition}
+      durationInFrames={100} // Placeholder, will be overridden
+      fps={30}
+      width={1080}
+      height={1080}
+      defaultProps={{ videoId: "abc123" }}
+      calculateMetadata={calculateMetadata}
+    />
+  );
+};
+```
+
+The function can return `props`, `durationInFrames`, `width`, `height`, `fps`, and codec-related defaults. It runs once before rendering begins.
+
+## Nesting compositions within another
+
+To add a composition within another composition, you can use the `<Sequence>` component with a `width` and `height` prop to specify the size of the composition.
+
+```tsx
+<AbsoluteFill>
+  <Sequence width={COMPOSITION_WIDTH} height={COMPOSITION_HEIGHT}>
+    <CompositionComponent />
+  </Sequence>
+</AbsoluteFill>
+```

+
+# Displaying captions in Remotion
+
+This guide explains how to display captions in Remotion, assuming you already have captions in the [`Caption`](https://www.remotion.dev/docs/captions/caption) format.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Read [Transcribing audio](transcribe-captions.md) for how to generate captions.
+
+First, the [`@remotion/captions`](https://www.remotion.dev/docs/captions) package needs to be installed.
+If it is not installed, use the following command:
+
+```bash
+npx remotion add @remotion/captions
+```
+
+## Fetching captions
+
+First, fetch your captions JSON file. Use [`useDelayRender()`](https://www.remotion.dev/docs/use-delay-render) to hold the render until the captions are loaded:
+
+```tsx
+import { useState, useEffect, useCallback } from "react";
+import { AbsoluteFill, staticFile, useDelayRender } from "remotion";
+import type { Caption } from "@remotion/captions";
+
+export const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
+  const [captions, setCaptions] = useState<Caption[] | null>(null);
+  const { delayRender, continueRender, cancelRender } = useDelayRender();
+  const [handle] = useState(() => delayRender());
+
+  const fetchCaptions = useCallback(async () => {
+    try {
+      // Assuming captions.json is in the public/ folder.
+      const response = await fetch(staticFile("captions123.json"));
+      const data = await response.json();
+      setCaptions(data);
+      continueRender(handle);
+    } catch (e) {
+      cancelRender(e);
+    }
+  }, [continueRender, cancelRender, handle]);
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    fetchCaptions();
+  }, [fetchCaptions]);
+
+  if (!captions) {
+    return null;
+  }
+
+  return <AbsoluteFill>{/* Render captions here */}</AbsoluteFill>;
+};
+```
+
+## Creating pages
+
+Use `createTikTokStyleCaptions()` to group captions into pages. The `combineTokensWithinMilliseconds` option controls how many words appear at once:
+
+```tsx
+import { useMemo } from "react";
+import { createTikTokStyleCaptions } from "@remotion/captions";
+import type { Caption } from "@remotion/captions";
+
+// How often captions should switch (in milliseconds)
+// Higher values = more words per page
+// Lower values = fewer words (more word-by-word)
+const SWITCH_CAPTIONS_EVERY_MS = 1200;
+
+const { pages } = useMemo(() => {
+  return createTikTokStyleCaptions({
+    captions,
+    combineTokensWithinMilliseconds: SWITCH_CAPTIONS_EVERY_MS,
+  });
+}, [captions]);
+```
+
+## Rendering with Sequences
+
+Map over the pages and render each one in a `<Sequence>`. Calculate the start frame and duration from the page timing:
+
+```tsx
+import { Sequence, useVideoConfig, AbsoluteFill } from "remotion";
+import type { TikTokPage } from "@remotion/captions";
+
+const CaptionedContent: React.FC = () => {
+  const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
+
+  return (
+    <AbsoluteFill>
+      {pages.map((page, index) => {
+        const nextPage = pages[index + 1] ?? null;
+        const startFrame = (page.startMs / 1000) * fps;
+        const endFrame = Math.min(
+          nextPage ? (nextPage.startMs / 1000) * fps : Infinity,
+          startFrame + (SWITCH_CAPTIONS_EVERY_MS / 1000) * fps,
+        );
+        const durationInFrames = endFrame - startFrame;
+
+        if (durationInFrames <= 0) {
+          return null;
+        }
+
+        return (
+          <Sequence
+            key={index}
+            from={startFrame}
+            durationInFrames={durationInFrames}
+          >
+            <CaptionPage page={page} />
+          </Sequence>
+        );
+      })}
+    </AbsoluteFill>
+  );
+};
+```
+
+## White-space preservation
+
+The captions are whitespace sensitive. You should include spaces in the `text` field before each word. Use `whiteSpace: "pre"` to preserve the whitespace in the captions.
+
+## Separate component for captions
+
+Put captioning logic in a separate component.  
+Make a new file for it.
+
+## Word highlighting
+
+A caption page contains `tokens` which you can use to highlight the currently spoken word:
+
+```tsx
+import { AbsoluteFill, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
+import type { TikTokPage } from "@remotion/captions";
+
+const HIGHLIGHT_COLOR = "#39E508";
+
+const CaptionPage: React.FC<{ page: TikTokPage }> = ({ page }) => {
+  const frame = useCurrentFrame();
+  const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
+
+  // Current time relative to the start of the sequence
+  const currentTimeMs = (frame / fps) * 1000;
+  // Convert to absolute time by adding the page start
+  const absoluteTimeMs = page.startMs + currentTimeMs;
+
+  return (
+    <AbsoluteFill style={{ justifyContent: "center", alignItems: "center" }}>
+      <div style={{ fontSize: 80, fontWeight: "bold", whiteSpace: "pre" }}>
+        {page.tokens.map((token) => {
+          const isActive =
+            token.fromMs <= absoluteTimeMs && token.toMs > absoluteTimeMs;
+
+          return (
+            <span
+              key={token.fromMs}
+              style={{ color: isActive ? HIGHLIGHT_COLOR : "white" }}
+            >
+              {token.text}
+            </span>
+          );
+        })}
+      </div>
+    </AbsoluteFill>
+  );
+};
+```
+
+## Display captions alongside video content
+
+By default, put the captions alongside the video content, so the captions are in sync.  
+For each video, make a new captions JSON file.
+
+```tsx
+<AbsoluteFill>
+  <Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} />
+  <CaptionPage page={page} />
+</AbsoluteFill>
+```

+# Extracting frames from videos
+
+Use Mediabunny to extract frames from videos at specific timestamps. This is useful for generating thumbnails, filmstrips, or processing individual frames.
+
+## The `extractFrames()` function
+
+This function can be copy-pasted into any project.
+
+```tsx
+import {
+  ALL_FORMATS,
+  Input,
+  UrlSource,
+  VideoSample,
+  VideoSampleSink,
+} from "mediabunny";
+
+type Options = {
+  track: { width: number; height: number };
+  container: string;
+  durationInSeconds: number | null;
+};
+
+export type ExtractFramesTimestampsInSecondsFn = (
+  options: Options,
+) => Promise<number[]> | number[];
+
+export type ExtractFramesProps = {
+  src: string;
+  timestampsInSeconds: number[] | ExtractFramesTimestampsInSecondsFn;
+  onVideoSample: (sample: VideoSample) => void;
+  signal?: AbortSignal;
+};
+
+export async function extractFrames({
+  src,
+  timestampsInSeconds,
+  onVideoSample,
+  signal,
+}: ExtractFramesProps): Promise<void> {
+  using input = new Input({
+    formats: ALL_FORMATS,
+    source: new UrlSource(src),
+  });
+
+  const [durationInSeconds, format, videoTrack] = await Promise.all([
+    input.computeDuration(),
+    input.getFormat(),
+    input.getPrimaryVideoTrack(),
+  ]);
+
+  if (!videoTrack) {
+    throw new Error("No video track found in the input");
+  }
+
+  if (signal?.aborted) {
+    throw new Error("Aborted");
+  }
+
+  const timestamps =
+    typeof timestampsInSeconds === "function"
+      ? await timestampsInSeconds({
+          track: {
+            width: videoTrack.displayWidth,
+            height: videoTrack.displayHeight,
+          },
+          container: format.name,
+          durationInSeconds,
+        })
+      : timestampsInSeconds;
+
+  if (timestamps.length === 0) {
+    return;
+  }
+
+  if (signal?.aborted) {
+    throw new Error("Aborted");
+  }
+
+  const sink = new VideoSampleSink(videoTrack);
+
+  for await (using videoSample of sink.samplesAtTimestamps(timestamps)) {
+    if (signal?.aborted) {
+      break;
+    }
+
+    if (!videoSample) {
+      continue;
+    }
+
+    onVideoSample(videoSample);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Basic usage
+
+Extract frames at specific timestamps:
+
+```tsx
+await extractFrames({
+  src: "https://remotion.media/video.mp4",
+  timestampsInSeconds: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
+  onVideoSample: (sample) => {
+    const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
+    canvas.width = sample.displayWidth;
+    canvas.height = sample.displayHeight;
+    const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
+    sample.draw(ctx!, 0, 0);
+  },
+});
+```
+
+## Creating a filmstrip
+
+Use a callback function to dynamically calculate timestamps based on video metadata:
+
+```tsx
+const canvasWidth = 500;
+const canvasHeight = 80;
+const fromSeconds = 0;
+const toSeconds = 10;
+
+await extractFrames({
+  src: "https://remotion.media/video.mp4",
+  timestampsInSeconds: async ({ track, durationInSeconds }) => {
+    const aspectRatio = track.width / track.height;
+    const amountOfFramesFit = Math.ceil(
+      canvasWidth / (canvasHeight * aspectRatio),
+    );
+    const segmentDuration = toSeconds - fromSeconds;
+    const timestamps: number[] = [];
+
+    for (let i = 0; i < amountOfFramesFit; i++) {
+      timestamps.push(
+        fromSeconds + (segmentDuration / amountOfFramesFit) * (i + 0.5),
+      );
+    }
+
+    return timestamps;
+  },
+  onVideoSample: (sample) => {
+    console.log(`Frame at ${sample.timestamp}s`);
+
+    const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
+    canvas.width = sample.displayWidth;
+    canvas.height = sample.displayHeight;
+    const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
+    sample.draw(ctx!, 0, 0);
+  },
+});
+```
+
+## Cancellation with AbortSignal
+
+Cancel frame extraction after a timeout:
+
+```tsx
+const controller = new AbortController();
+
+setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 5000);
+
+try {
+  await extractFrames({
+    src: "https://remotion.media/video.mp4",
+    timestampsInSeconds: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
+    onVideoSample: (sample) => {
+      using frame = sample;
+      const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
+      canvas.width = frame.displayWidth;
+      canvas.height = frame.displayHeight;
+      const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
+      frame.draw(ctx!, 0, 0);
+    },
+    signal: controller.signal,
+  });
+
+  console.log("Frame extraction complete!");
+} catch (error) {
+  console.error("Frame extraction was aborted or failed:", error);
+}
+```
+
+## Timeout with Promise.race
+
+```tsx
+const controller = new AbortController();
+
+const timeoutPromise = new Promise<never>((_, reject) => {
+  const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => {
+    controller.abort();
+    reject(new Error("Frame extraction timed out after 10 seconds"));
+  }, 10000);
+
+  controller.signal.addEventListener("abort", () => clearTimeout(timeoutId), {
+    once: true,
+  });
+});
+
+try {
+  await Promise.race([
+    extractFrames({
+      src: "https://remotion.media/video.mp4",
+      timestampsInSeconds: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
+      onVideoSample: (sample) => {
+        using frame = sample;
+        const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
+        canvas.width = frame.displayWidth;
+        canvas.height = frame.displayHeight;
+        const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
+        frame.draw(ctx!, 0, 0);
+      },
+      signal: controller.signal,
+    }),
+    timeoutPromise,
+  ]);
+
+  console.log("Frame extraction complete!");
+} catch (error) {
+  console.error("Frame extraction was aborted or failed:", error);
+}
+```

+
+## FFmpeg in Remotion
+
+`ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` do not need to be installed. They are available via the `bunx remotion ffmpeg` and `bunx remotion ffprobe`:
+
+```bash
+bunx remotion ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.mp3
+bunx remotion ffprobe input.mp4
+```
+
+### Trimming videos
+
+You have 2 options for trimming videos:
+
+1. Use the FFMpeg command line. You MUST re-encode the video to avoid frozen frames at the start of the video.
+
+```bash
+# Re-encodes from the exact frame
+bunx remotion ffmpeg -ss 00:00:05 -i public/input.mp4 -to 00:00:10 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac public/output.mp4
+```
+
+2. Use the `trimBefore` and `trimAfter` props of the `<Video>` component. The benefit is that this is non-destructive and you can change the trim at any time.
+
+```tsx
+import { Video } from "@remotion/media";
+
+<Video
+  src={staticFile("video.mp4")}
+  trimBefore={5 * fps}
+  trimAfter={10 * fps}
+/>;
+```
