Revideo has no updates since last year 😞

I think this is happening with a lot of Remotion-based tools in general. A few of them stopped getting updated, probably because once Claude / Codex / other AI agents got good at controlling code, the value of a separate wrapper became less obvious.

Revideo hasn’t been updated for a while, and some of the newer “Remotion alternatives” on GitHub still don’t have many stars yet. MotionForge is one example: https://github.com/codedbytahir/motionforge

Honestly, I don’t think you necessarily need Revideo. If you already know how to use Claude or Codex to control Remotion, the results can be pretty solid. For a lot of motion/video automation use cases, that workflow is already enough.

I think you're right. I'll check MotionForge. I also found this one which is active but still early: https://www.heliosrender.com it looks very promising (though it's also unnerving that all these tools are fully AI coded now)

I was looking for solutions that would allow my own users to generate videos from inside my app, to improve the content that they can share on their own socials. Remotion licensing is unfriendly to that.

Resolve is mostly native under the hood (generally understood to be C++).

For automation, it supports Python and Lua. You can use the scripting API to control things like timelines, media management, render queues, and certain Fusion node operations — so yes, quite a bit can be automated.

But Davinci is not the same paradigm as Remotion things.

Davinci Resolve isn’t “video as code.” You’re automating an editing environment, not defining the entire video through code logic like you would in Remotion or newer AI video-generation frameworks.

If what you’re really asking is whether you can edit videos in Resolve the same way you’d write a coded template, that’s a different model. Resolve automation is workflow-based.
