# Kinetograph

Solves: A fast programmatic video engine made for agents. You or an agent write a video in TypeScript with Remotion's API, CSS, SVG, Canvas and WebGL, and a Rust GPU compositor renders it. Existing Remotion projects render as they are, and npx kinetograph mcp serves the same commands to agents.
