remotion-create

These are instructions for making a new Remotion project and composition.

If this is not the next task, see [Remotion Best Practices](../SKILL.md)

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:

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](../remotion-markup/SKILL.md) and [Video Layout Rules](video-layout.md) for video-first layout and text sizing guidance.

Interactivity Best Practices

By structuring the React Markup following [Remotion Interactivity Best Practices](../remotion-interactivity/SKILL.md), 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.

Starting preview

npx remotion studio --no-open

This will start a long-running process and print the server URL for the preview.

Follow-up

The video creation process has finished.
