<Folder>

Available from v3.0.1

By wrapping a <Composition /> inside a <Folder />, you can visually categorize it in your sidebar, should you have many compositions.

Example​

tsx
import { Composition, Folder } from "remotion";
 
export const Video = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <Folder name="Visuals">
        <Composition
          id="CompInFolder"
          durationInFrames={100}
          fps={30}
          width={1080}
          height={1080}
          component={Component}
        />
      </Folder>
      <Composition
        id="CompOutsideFolder"
        durationInFrames={100}
        fps={30}
        width={1080}
        height={1080}
        component={Component}
      />
    </>
  );
};
tsx
import { Composition, Folder } from "remotion";
 
export const Video = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <Folder name="Visuals">
        <Composition
          id="CompInFolder"
          durationInFrames={100}
          fps={30}
          width={1080}
          height={1080}
          component={Component}
        />
      </Folder>
      <Composition
        id="CompOutsideFolder"
        durationInFrames={100}
        fps={30}
        width={1080}
        height={1080}
        component={Component}
      />
    </>
  );
};

will create a tree structure in the sidebar that looks like this:
