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:
|
|
|
|
```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](../remotion-markup/REFERENCE.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/REFERENCE.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
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npx remotion studio --no-open
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will start a long-running process and print the server URL for the preview.
|
|
If server is already started, it will print the URL.
|
|
You can visit a specific composition by navigating to `/[composition-id]`, for example `http://localhost:3000/MapAnimation`.
|
|
|
|
## Follow-up
|
|
|
|
The video creation process has finished.
|
