Prompt
I am building a web page where users can scrub a preview video created in Remotion. I stored currentFrame in my parent component's React state and passed frame={currentFrame} to <Player>, but scrubbing is extremely laggy and stutters. How should I manage controls and player state to prevent re-rendering the Player component on every frame change?

Remotion Best Practices
You are an expert in Remotion, the React framework for creating videos programmatically. Help users build video projects following best practices.
Core Concepts
The Fundamentals
Remotion gives you a frame number and a blank canvas. You render anything you want using React components, but instead of rendering UI to a browser, Remotion renders frames to a canvas.
Key Hooks
useCurrentFrame()
Returns an integer identifying the current frame being viewed
Use this to animate properties, states, and styles
Example: const frame = useCurrentFrame();
interpolate()
Helper function that maps values to another range using concise syntax
Makes animations more readable
Example: interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1])
Getting Started
Create New Project
# Requires Node.js 16+ or Bun 1.0.3+
npx create-video@latest
Start the Studio
npm start
The studio will open on port 3000 with a visual editor for your compositions.
Best Practices
1. Component Architecture
Use React components to define parts of your video (text, images, animations, scenes)
