Adding autoplay​

tsx
import { Player } from "@remotion/player";
import { MyVideo } from "./remotion/MyVideo";
 
export const App: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Player
      component={MyVideo}
      durationInFrames={120}
      compositionWidth={1920}
      compositionHeight={1080}
      fps={30}
      controls
      loop
      style={{
        width: 1280,
        height: 720,
      }}
      autoPlay
    />
  );
};
tsx
import { Player } from "@remotion/player";
import { MyVideo } from "./remotion/MyVideo";
 
export const App: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Player
      component={MyVideo}
      durationInFrames={120}
      compositionWidth={1920}
      compositionHeight={1080}
      fps={30}
      controls
      loop
      style={{
        width: 1280,
        height: 720,
      }}
      autoPlay
    />
  );
};
tip

You need to be wary of the browser's autoplay policy. In most browsers, you cannot autoplay an audio file or a video with audio.

Programmatically control the player​

tsx
import { Player, PlayerRef } from "@remotion/player";
import { MyVideo } from "./remotion/MyVideo";
import { useCallback, useRef } from "react";
 
export const App: React.FC = () => {
  const playerRef = useRef<PlayerRef>(null);
 
  const seekToMiddle = useCallback(() => {
    const { current } = playerRef;
    if (!current) {
      return;
    }
    current.seekTo(60);
  }, []);
 
  return (
    <Player
      ref={playerRef}
      component={MyVideo}
      durationInFrames={120}
      compositionWidth={1920}
      compositionHeight={1080}
      fps={30}
    />
  );
};
tsx
import { Player, PlayerRef } from "@remotion/player";
import { MyVideo } from "./remotion/MyVideo";
import { useCallback, useRef } from "react";
 
export const App: React.FC = () => {
  const playerRef = useRef<PlayerRef>(null);
 
  const seekToMiddle = useCallback(() => {
    const { current } = playerRef;
    if (!current) {
      return;
    }
    current.seekTo(60);
  }, []);
 
  return (
    <Player
      ref={playerRef}
      component={MyVideo}
      durationInFrames={120}
      compositionWidth={1920}
      compositionHeight={1080}
      fps={30}
    />
  );
};

Listen to events​

tsx
import { Player, PlayerRef } from "@remotion/player";
import { MyVideo } from "./remotion/MyVideo";
import { useEffect, useRef } from "react";
 
export const App: React.FC = () => {
  const playerRef = useRef<PlayerRef>(null);
 
  useEffect(() => {
    const { current } = playerRef;
    if (!current) {
      return;
    }
 
    const listener = () => {
      console.log("paused");
    };
    current.addEventListener("pause", listener);
    return () => {
      current.removeEventListener("pause", listener);
    };
  }, []);
 
  return (
    <Player
      ref={playerRef}
      component={MyVideo}
      durationInFrames={120}
      compositionWidth={1920}
      compositionHeight={1080}
      fps={30}
    />
  );
};
tsx
import { Player, PlayerRef } from "@remotion/player";
import { MyVideo } from "./remotion/MyVideo";
import { useEffect, useRef } from "react";
 
export const App: React.FC = () => {
  const playerRef = useRef<PlayerRef>(null);
 
  useEffect(() => {
    const { current } = playerRef;
    if (!current) {
      return;
    }
 
    const listener = () => {
      console.log("paused");
    };
    current.addEventListener("pause", listener);
    return () => {
      current.removeEventListener("pause", listener);
    };
  }, []);
 
  return (
    <Player
      ref={playerRef}
      component={MyVideo}
      durationInFrames={120}
      compositionWidth={1920}
      compositionHeight={1080}
      fps={30}
    />
  );
};

Interactive player​

tsx
import { useState } from "react";
import { Player } from "@remotion/player";
import { MyVideo } from "./remotion/MyVideo";
 
export const App: React.FC = () => {
  // Connect the state to a text field
  const [text, setText] = useState("world");
 
  return (
    <Player
      component={MyVideo}
      durationInFrames={120}
      compositionWidth={1920}
      compositionHeight={1080}
      fps={30}
      inputProps={{
        text,
      }}
    />
  );
};
tsx
import { useState } from "react";
import { Player } from "@remotion/player";
import { MyVideo } from "./remotion/MyVideo";
 
export const App: React.FC = () => {
  // Connect the state to a text field
  const [text, setText] = useState("world");
 
  return (
    <Player
