Remotion would not be possible without the work of many others.
Software acknowledgements
| Software | License | Source Code | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| FFmpeg | GPLv2+ | Source | Core video processing code (ffmpeg.org). FFmpeg is available under two licenses: the GPL and the LGPL. Remotion distributes a compiled FFmpeg binary under the GPLv2+ license; the source and build scripts are publicly available. Because x264 and x265 are licensed under the GPL (not the LGPL), Remotion's FFmpeg binary cannot be distributed under the LGPL. The bundled AAC support uses fdk-aac-free, which has no licensing concerns. No other components in Remotion's FFmpeg binary should raise licensing concerns. |

| Mediabunny | MPLv2.0 | Source | Media processing library (mediabunny.dev) |
| Webpack | MIT | Source | JavaScript module bundler (webpack.js.org) |
