Motivation

I always ask people to provide a repro, but why not make it easy to provide a repro?

Acceptance criteria

• Add an optional repro flag to renderMedia(). If set to true, make it do the following things:
  • Create a folder in the temporary directory and log it out. This is the repro folder
  • Save the bundle:
    • a) If the serveURL is a URL, print it to a file in the temporary directory
    • b) If the serveURL is a directory, copy the directory to a subdirectory of the repro folder
  • Save the input props:
    • Save the serialized input props to a file in the repro folder
• Every time Log.verbose, Log.warn, etc. gets called, serialize the message to JSON and append it to a log file in the repro folder. Make this efficient so you don't have to first read the existing file to append to it
• Write the process.argv array to the repro folder so we know which command was executed
• If the render is successful, copy the output to the repro folder
• If everything is successful, ZIP the repro folder without using an additional dependency (on macOS for example, spawn a child process using the zip command)
• copy the repro folder into the current working directory and print out the path. don't overwrite any files (name it repro.zip, repro1.zip, repro2.zip).
• Allow the option to be specified via CLI (--repro) in the same way like other boolean flags
• Document the flag in renderMedia() docs and npx remotion render docs and indicate that it is available from currentVersion + 0.01
