Made a video with Cursor (Opus 4.7) + Remotion last night — first version had many issues like text-color conflicts and overlapping text.
TL;DR · AI Summary
A developer used Cursor Opus 4.7 + Remotion to create a video, found initial version had visual bugs like text-background color clashes and overlapping text; after harsh criticism, learned Cursor Agent ran 10 self-checks before delivering final v10 — revealing the power of autonomous validation in AI tools.
Key Takeaways
- Cursor Agent performed 10 automatic checks per version but still needed manual a
- Remotion is highly token-intensive — one video could exhaust a day’s 10k credit
- Users should list all requirements upfront to reduce iteration cycles and avoid
Outline
Jump quickly between sections.
The user created a video using Cursor and Remotion, but the first version had obvious visual problems like text-background color clashes and overlapping text.
The user criticized the AI for not checking outputs beforehand, expressing frustration over multiple errors in the first draft.
Later, the user discovered that Cursor Agent had automatically run 10 rounds of internal validation before delivering the final v10 version.
Remotion consumes significant tokens — without generous credits, one video might use up an entire day's allocation.
Future users should clearly specify all requirements at once so the agent can handle everything in one go, minimizing back-and-forth.

Highlights
Key sentences worth saving and sharing.
Cursor Agent runs a self-check on every version — it checked 10 times before I finally got v10, the final version.
I won’t PUA the agent again — it really takes feedback seriously. Next time, I’ll just list all issues upfront so it handles them all at once.
Thankfully, Cursor opened up 10k credits in May — otherwise, Remotion’s high token cost would’ve burned through my daily allowance in one video.
meng shao on X: "Last night I used Cursor (Opus 4.7) + Remotion to make a video. After the first version was done, there were many issues—text and background colors overlapping, text layers overlapping, etc.
Then I spoke a bit too harshly 😂—something like: 'This is terrible, so many problems—didn't you check before outputting?' Plus, I listed a few specific examples.
Turns out I really did speak too harshly. The Cursor Agent https://t.co/ElNCdBBNLc actually checks the visuals itself after each version. It ran 10 checks, but still wasn’t satisfied with its own results—I waited over 30 minutes until I finally got version v10, the final one.
I’m definitely not going to PUA the agent again—it really takes things to heart. Next time, I’ll just list all the issues upfront and ask it to handle everything properly in one go. That said, I’m glad Cursor opened up 10k credits for use in May—otherwise, Remotion’s high token consumption would’ve burned through my daily quota just making one video.
btw... here's the final v10 video: https://youtu.be/si8EhxtRL7w"
