rust-motion (Python SDK)

High-performance, browser-free, programmatic video rendering engine for Python.
Zero Chromium. Zero Puppeteer. Zero Node.js. 100% Pure Rust Native Speed.

Installation

pip install rust-motion

(Prerequisite: ffmpeg installed on your system PATH)

Quick Start

1. Render a Video in 3 Lines

import rust_motion

rust_motion.render(
    composition="HelloWorld",
    output="video.mp4",
    props={"title": "Hello from Python", "subtitle": "Rendered in 0.3s"},
    width=1920,
    height=1080,
    fps=30.0,
    duration=90,
)

2. Render a Still Frame (Thumbnail / Poster)

import rust_motion

rust_motion.render_still(
    composition="HelloWorld",
    frame=30,
    output="thumbnail.png"
)

3. Dynamic Video Templates with Rhai Scripts

import rust_motion

rust_motion.render_script(
    script_path="templates/shorts.rhai",
    output="shorts.mp4",
    props={
        "headline": "Breaking AI News",
        "caption": "Rendered natively without a browser.",
        "tag": "TECH",
    },
    width=1080,
    height=1920, # Vertical 9:16 Shorts / Reels
    duration=90,
)

4. Object-Oriented Composition API

import rust_motion

comp = rust_motion.Composition("HelloWorld", width=1920, height=1080, duration=180)
comp.render("output.mp4")
comp.render_still(frame=0, output="cover.png")
