## DSH package context

This skill is bundled with dsh-remotion. DSH plugin management owns updates to these skill files; do not run standalone `skills add`, `skills update`, or `remotion skills` commands to replace this bundle. Project dependencies and lockfiles are separate: preserve existing projects, and only upgrade their Remotion dependencies when the user requests it, then verify the project. Run commands in the user project, never in this installed plugin directory. The official instructions below apply within these package boundaries.


# Upgrade Remotion

1. Inspect the project manifests and lockfile to identify the package manager and workspaces. Preserve unrelated changes.
2. Determine whether `@remotion/cli` is locally available. If it is, run:

   ```bash
   npx remotion upgrade
   ```

   This also updates project-local Remotion skills. Skip the manual upgrade below.

3. If `@remotion/cli` is not available, upgrade manually:
   - Get the latest stable Remotion version with `npm view remotion version`.
   - Find every installed `remotion` and `@remotion/*` dependency across the project and upgrade them all to that exact version. Preserve their dependency sections and the project's workspace or catalog conventions.
   - Read the `@remotion/studio` dependencies for the target Remotion version using `npm view @remotion/studio@<version> dependencies --json`. Align installed auxiliary packages such as `zod`, `mediabunny`, and `@huggingface/transformers` with the versions listed there. Use the `mediabunny` version for installed `@mediabunny/*` packages.
   - Run the project's package manager to update its lockfile.
4. If `@remotion/cli` is not available, update the installed Remotion skills:

   ```bash
   npx skills update remotion-best-practices remotion-captions remotion-create remotion-docs remotion-interactivity remotion-maps remotion-markup remotion-multimedia remotion-render remotion-saas remotion-studio remotion-upgrade --yes
   ```

5. Review the manifest and lockfile diff. Ensure all Remotion packages use one version and installed auxiliary packages use their recommended versions. If the CLI is available, run `npx remotion versions` as an additional check.

The [Remotion releases](https://github.com/remotion-dev/remotion/releases) contain the changelog and may be useful for summarizing relevant changes after the upgrade.
