npx remotion lambda still

Using the npx remotion lambda still command, you can render a still frame in the cloud.

The command has the following structure:

npx remotion lambda still <serve-url> [<composition-id>] [<output-location>]

npx remotion lambda still <serve-url> [<composition-id>] [<output-location>]

• The serve URL is obtained by deploying a project to Remotion using the sites create command or calling deploySite().
• The composition ID. If not specified, the list of compositions will be fetched and you can choose a composition.
• The output-location parameter is optional. If you don't specify it, the still is stored in your S3 bucket. If you specify a location, it gets downloaded to your device in an additional step.

Example commands

Rendering a still:

npx remotion lambda still https://remotionlambda-abcdef.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/sites/testbed/index.html my-comp

npx remotion lambda still https://remotionlambda-abcdef.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/sites/testbed/index.html my-comp

Rendering using the serve URL shorthand:

npx remotion lambda still testbed my-comp

npx remotion lambda still testbed my-comp

Rendering the 10th frame of a composition:

npx remotion lambda still --frame=10 testbed my-comp

npx remotion lambda still --frame=10 testbed my-comp

Downloading the result to a out.png file:

npx remotion lambda still testbed my-comp out.png

npx remotion lambda still testbed my-comp out.png

Flags

--frame

Render a specific frame of a composition. Default 0

--region

The AWS region to select. Both project and function should be in this region.

--props

React Props to pass to the root component of your video. Must be a serialized JSON string (--props='{"hello": "world"}') or a path to a JSON file (./path/to/props.json).

--scale

Scales the output frames by the factor you pass in. For example, a 1280x720px frame will become a 1920x1080px frame with a scale factor of 1.5. Vector elements like fonts and HTML markups will be rendered with extra details.

--log

Log level to be used inside the Lambda function. Also, if you set it to verbose, a link to CloudWatch will be printed where you can inspect logs.

--privacy

Defines if the output media is accessible for everyone or not. Either public or private, default public.

--max-retries

How many times a single chunk is being retried if it fails to render. Default 1.

--out-name

The file name of the media output as stored in the S3 bucket. By default, it is out plus the appropriate file extension, for example: out.png. Must match /([0-9a-zA-Z-!_.*'()/]+)/g.

--quality

Value between 0 and 100 for JPEG rendering quality. Doesn't work when PNG frames are rendered.
