What this skill does
Preserve user changes Users may make edits in the code outside of the conversation. If you detect a surprising change made in the meanwhile, don't overwrite it, assume it was intentional or ask for confirmation. Creating a video If the user asks to make, create, or build a new video or composition, load Create a new Remotion video, whether or not a Remotion project already exists. New project setup If no Remotion project currently exists, load Create a new Remotion project React Markup Best Practices If you are writing Remotion React Markup, load Remotion Markup Best Practices Maps For static maps, animated routes and markers, geographic explainers, Mapbox, MapLibre, MapTiler, GeoJSON, or 3D geographic flyovers, load Remotion Maps. Multimedia For achieving multimedia tasks in the browser, such as trimming, cropping videos, or getting metadata from them, load Remotion Multimedia For video matting, background removal, or placing content behind a subject, load Remotion Markup. Improving Interactivity By structuring the Remotion markup well, we can allow users to interactively change things in the Studio and write back to code. If relevant: Interactivity Best Practices Open the preview If the user asks to "make" a video, "create" a video, etc. Don't render the video by default unless they are very explicit. They want to instead see an interactive preview. As soon as the project can run, start Studio and open the preview in the browser before building or editing the composition. Keep it open while you work so the user can watch progress and steer. If you are using Cursor Run Studio without --no-open so it opens the browser automatically: If you are using another agent client with an in-app browser You can use the command above to let Studio open the browser, or run: 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. …
How to use it
