Creating a new project
Prerequisites
To use Remotion, you need at least Node 16.
Install Node.js here.
Scaffolding a new project
You can initialize a new Remotion video using
- npm
- yarn
- pnpm
bash
npm init video
bash
npm init video
bash
pnpm create video
bash
pnpm create video
bash
yarn create video

yarn create video
Choose the template that is most suitable for you. For your first project, we recommend the Hello World template.
After the project has been scaffolded, we recommend to open the project in your text editor and starting the Remotion Studio:
bash
npm start
bash
npm start

Watch out for apt
wanting to uninstall critical packages (e.g the Desktop) in order to install the Remotion dependencies. Abort the installation and seek help in our Discord if that happens!
Linux distros that use libc need at least version 2.35 of it. Check here if your distro has it.
