Guidance for working on Remotion Studio Visual Mode, sequence identity, node paths, symbolicated stacks, override IDs, and hot reload behavior. Use when implementing or debugging visual editing of Sequences.
Why this skill is useful
Provides specific guidance on handling sequence identity and node paths in Remotion Studio that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Visual Mode is a feature in Remotion Studio that allows one to visually edit Sequences. I've made the following observations: Fields overrideId -> does keep the identity the same of a sequence, even if the file / line / column changes Sequence stack -> changes on hot reload. shared by multiple sequences which have different overrideIds Sequence file, line, column (symbolicated stack) -> does not change, but needs to be calculated asyn nodePath -> same identity, even if line, stack and overrideId changes. async nodePath + index is ideal way to keep track of the expanded state. that’s the end goal. Once nodePath is mapped to overrideId, it doesn’t change otherwise component would remount and overrideId works change. If the same stack is found already used by another sequence, we re-use the overrideId. nodePath to symbolicated stack could theoretically change on every file change. but multiple sequences can share the same stack and then they all have the same nodePath. We should only fetch the nodepath for every stack once different unsymbolicated stacks could lead to the same symbolicated stack, because of fast refresh unsymbolicated to symbolicated stack does never change because if it does, it is a different stack due to fast refresh Browser Studio route tracking Whenever adding a new Studio API route, also add it to the Browser Studio parity checklist in issue #9807. Do this in the same change, even if the route is intentionally server-only; place it in either the required Browser Studio operations or the explicitly unsupported routes.
