Tech stack

• Frontend: React + Vite + TypeScript + TailwindCSS
• Backend: Node.js + Express + Multer
• Video rendering: Remotion (requires local server)
• Deployment: Vercel (UI) — rendering requires the local server

Local development

npm install
npm install --prefix client
npm run dev

The app runs at http://localhost:5173, the API server at http://localhost:3000.

Rendering

Rendering requires the local Express server (node server.js) plus Remotion and FFmpeg installed. The Vercel deployment hosts the UI only — all video processing happens on your machine.
