Findings (by WCAG criterion)

1.1.1 Non-text Content (Level A)

Conformance Level: Does Not Support

Remarks:

• In the "Search" dialog → "Documentation" tab, informative keyboard-button images (e.g. arrows) are not announced to screen-reader users. Provide text alternatives.

1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A)

Conformance Level: Does Not Support

Remarks:

• "Search compositions..." input has no <label> — only a placeholder. Provide a programmatic association via <label for> + id or aria-label.

1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (Level AA)

Conformance Level: Does Not Support

Remarks:

• "Search compositions" placeholder: grey #757575 on #2F363D — 2.7:1, fails 4.5:1.

2.1.1 Keyboard (Level A)

Conformance Level: Does Not Support

Remarks:

• In the dialog opened from the "Search" button, interactive elements "HelloWorld" and "OnlyLogo" cannot be operated by keyboard only.

2.4.3 Focus Order (Level A)

Conformance Level: Does Not Support

Remarks:

• "Search" and "Render via CLI" dialogs let keyboard focus escape to the underlying page. Focus must be trapped within the modal until it is closed.

3.3.2 Labels or Instructions (Level A)

Conformance Level: Does Not Support

Remarks:

• "Search compositions..." input relies on placeholder only — no persistent visible label.

4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (Level A)

Conformance Level: Does Not Support

Remarks:

• The dialog opened by the "Search" button has no accessible name. Add aria-label describing the dialog's purpose and content.
• Top-menu buttons have submenus, but their open/closed state is not programmatically exposed. Add aria-expanded to each menu trigger.

4.1.3 Status Messages (Level AA)

Conformance Level: Does Not Support

Remarks:

• In the "Render via CLI" dialog, clicking "Copy command" displays "Copied command!" — this status message is not announced to assistive technologies. Use role="status" or aria-live="polite".

Overall

The HelloWorld demo of Remotion Studio fails multiple WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA criteria in the sampled scope. Findings are derived from the remotion.dev RGAA 4.1.2 audit (Victoria, 14.04.2026). A full VPAT would require broader sampling of Studio views and interactions.
