These are instructions for making a new Remotion project and composition. If this is not the next task, see Remotion Best Practices ## Scaffold a project If a project already exists, skip this. Ensure Node.js and Git is installed, and the current folder is appropriate for starting a new project. Scaffold one using: ```bash npx create-video@latest --yes --blank --no-tailwind my-video cd my-video npm i ``` Replace `my-video` with a suitable project name. ## Designing a video Keep the scaffold and add React Markup. Follow Remotion React Markup Best Practices and [Video Layout Rules](video-layout.md) for video-first layout and text sizing guidance. ## Is this a multi-scene video? If this is a video with multiple subsequence videos, follow guidance at Multi-scene videos. ## Interactivity Best Practices By structuring the React Markup following Remotion Interactivity Best Practices, you allow the user to make edits in the Studio which write back to code. ## TailwindCSS If Tailwind is requested, see [tailwind.md](tailwind.md) for using TailwindCSS in Remotion. ## Open the preview After creating or updating the video, start the preview server by default: ```bash npx remotion studio --no-open ``` This will start a long-running process and print the server URL for the preview. If the server is already started, it will print the URL. Open the exact URL in the agent client's available browser. If no browser tool is available, keep the preview server running and provide the URL to the user. You can visit a specific composition by navigating to `/[composition-id]`, for example `http://localhost:3000/MapAnimation`. ## Render the video Only render if the user explicitly asks for it. ``` npx remotion render ``` For more options, see Rendering. ## Follow-up The video creation process has finished.
