it means the browser was not able to start. The most common reasons are
Missing shared libraries
Visit the installation docs and make sure you installed the libraries outlined in "Additional information for Linux users".
Wrong OS or architecture
If a x64 browser binary is run on arm64 or vice versa, you will get this error.
If the browser was compiled for a different OS or Linux distribution, it might also be incompatible.
Make sure you are using the correct binary for your OS and architecture.
Debug using --log=verbose
Add the --log=verbose
flag to the npx remotion render
command.
This will log all browser process output, helping you to debug the issue.
