description: Create a new Remotion video
version: 4.0.516
---
These are instructions for making a new Remotion project and composition.
If this is not the next task, see [Remotion Best Practices](../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/SKILL.md) and [Video Layout Rules](video-layout.md) for video-first layout and text sizing guidance.
## Is this a multi-scene video?
If this is a video with multiple subsequence videos, follow guidance at [Multi-scene videos](../remotion-markup/multi-scene-video.md).
## Interactivity Best Practices
By structuring the React Markup following [Remotion Interactivity Best Practices](../remotion-interactivity/SKILL.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.
## Open the preview
Start the preview server after building the composition:
```bash
npx remotion studio --no-open
```
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.
If an in-harness browser is available, open it there.
You can visit a specific composition by navigating to `/[composition-id]`, for example `http://localhost:3000/MapAnimation`.
## Render the video
Only render if the user explicitly asks for it.
```
npx remotion render
```
For more options, see [Rendering](../remotion-render/SKILL.md).
## Follow-up
The video creation process has finished.
For follow-up prompts, use [Remotion Best Practices](../remotion-best-practices/SKILL.md)
