warning

Draft API: This API is experimental and may change.

update-composition-metadata.ts
import {updateCompositionMetadata, type CodemodProject} from '@remotion/codemods';

declare const project: CodemodProject;

const result = updateCompositionMetadata({
  project,
  compositionFile: 'src/Root.tsx',
  compositionId: 'MyComposition',
  metadata: {width: 1080, height: 1920},
});

console.log(result);

Edits the registration props directly, replacing existing expressions for the specified fields. It does not execute or change calculateMetadata(), which may override those values at runtime.

<Still> registrations only support width and height overrides; supplying FPS or duration throws an error.
