setQuality() has been renamed - use setJpegQuality() instead

Error message

setQuality() has been renamed - use setJpegQuality() instead.

What it means

`Config.setQuality()` was renamed to `Config.setJpegQuality()` to make its scope explicit (JPEG quality only). The old name still exists on `Config` but its body throws so un-migrated config files fail with a clear message instead of silently changing behavior.

Solutions

1. Rename the call to `Config.setJpegQuality(80)`.
2. Confirm the value is in the valid JPEG quality range (1-100).

Example fix

// before
Config.setQuality(80);
// after
Config.setJpegQuality(80);

const src = readFileSync('remotion.config.ts', 'utf8');
if (/Config\.setQuality\(/.test(src)) {
  throw new Error('Rename Config.setQuality() to Config.setJpegQuality().');
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling `Config.setQuality(80)` (or any value) in a remotion config file. The throw happens at call time, regardless of argument.

Common situations: Long-lived config file from before the rename; copied snippet from older docs; IDE autocomplete offering the old name from cached types.
