Remotion 4.0.542: streamed Lambda renders, OpenTimelineIO import, new effects
The Nov 9 Remotion release adds streaming variants of Lambda renders, a chunks option for splitting Lambda jobs, an OpenTimelineIO import in Studio, magnify() and lightning() effects, a high-contrast Studio mode and a remotion elements use CLI command.
What's new, per the release notes. @remotion/lambda-client gains renderMediaOnLambdaAndStream() and renderFramesOnLambdaAndStream(); @remotion/lambda adds chunks to renderMediaOnLambda() and --chunks to npx remotion lambda render. Studio can import an OpenTimelineIO timeline into a composition and adds a high-contrast mode, and the studio server cuts edit latency.
Effects and CLI. @remotion/effects adds magnify() for enlarging image regions and lightning() for branching bolts. remotion elements use is a new CLI command for pulling in prebuilt elements.
Why it matters: OpenTimelineIO import is the bridge for editors who rough-cut in an NLE and want the timing inside a coded composition, and streamed Lambda renders help apps that show progress or partial output to users. We have not run this release ourselves.
