Cloud Rendering

Cloud rendering lets you export videos without needing Chromium or ffmpeg installed locally. Your project is bundled, uploaded, and rendered on hosted infrastructure using Remotion Lambda.

Usage

oanim render --cloud

Cloud rendering requires authentication. Run oanim login first, or set ANIMATE_API_KEY.

How it works

Options

All standard oanim render flags work with --cloud:

oanim render --cloud --out out/video.mp4
oanim render --cloud --fps 60 --res 3840x2160
oanim render --cloud --codec h265

See oanim render for the full flag reference.

Output

On success:

✔ Cloud render complete

Output:     /path/to/out/MyComp.mp4
Size:       2.4 MB
Resolution: 1920x1080
FPS:        30
Codec:      h264
