editframe-vite-plugin
Vite Plugin
When do you need this?
You need the Vite plugin when your composition references local video files. Without it, the browser can't play raw video files — they must be transcoded to streamable ISOBMFF format first.
Already included in all project templates (npm create @editframe). You only need to install it manually when adding Editframe to an existing Vite project.
| Scenario | Need this? |
|---|---|
Compositions with local .mp4/.mov files |
Yes — JIT transcoding |
| Compositions with remote URLs only | No |
| Adding Editframe to existing Vite project | Yes — install manually |
| Visual regression tests with Vitest | Yes — use vitest entry point |
Bundling for Cloud Rendering
For cloud rendering (npx editframe cloud-render), the build must produce a single self-contained dist/index.html with all JS and CSS inlined. Use vite-plugin-singlefile alongside this plugin:
