staticFile() does not support remote URLs

If you got the following error message:

staticFile() does not support remote URLs. Instead, pass the URL without wrapping it in staticFile().

You have tried to pass a remote URL to staticFile(). You don't need to wrap the path in staticFile, you can pass it directly:

❌ Remote URL inside staticFile()
import { Img, staticFile } from "remotion";

const MyComp = () => {
  return <Img src={staticFile("https://example.com/image.png")} />;
};

Instead, :

✅ Remote URL passed directly
import { Img } from "remotion";

const MyComp = () => {
  return <Img src={"https://example.com/image.png"} />;
};
