Improve Font Loading for AWS Lambda Rendering (Google Fonts Timeout)

Description: Rendering with AWS Lambda can occasionally fail due to long font-loading times. This is a known issue with Google Fonts and @remotion/google-fonts. We’ve had a few reports where delayRender() is triggered but never resolved, causing Lambda to time out. This happens even when there are no visible text layers, due to how fonts are preloaded. Proposed Solution Ideas: Reduce or eliminate unused font weights/styles/subsets (done in version-7) Add font subset customization via config Support self-hosted fonts or allow skipping font loading entirely Add fallback mechanism if font loading hangs References: GitHub issue: https://github.com/remotion-dev/remotion/issues/5071 Discord thread: https://discord.com/channels/809501355504959528/1025083025899401286/threads/1350181175783850024

Scrubbing Videos

Test on Capcut to see what I mean. Grab the video playhead marker line and click and drag. It will show video frames while you’re dragging, allowing you to drop the playhead on the frame you want. This is video scrubbing, for the visual part of video. Consider even taking this step further to make it even better by implementing audio scrubbing for the audio part of the video (or audio file) which will play audio at the speed you’re dragging, either forward or backwards, letting you drop the playhead at the start of a word or sound. This can make syncing captions even easier but is a common function in editors like Adobe Premiere to make it easier to find the start of sentences and for syncing audio to video. Without this, it’s too hard to sync audio to video. Capcut has fancy lip sync AI instead of this but you could just implement standard typical audio scrubbing to let people manually sync audio since we have no tools to sync audio.
