What it does
Router for all Remotion skills
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

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
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
Rendering
For advanced rendering beyond simple npx remotion render, see: Rendering Best Practices
Opening Remotion Studio
When creating or editing a video, start Studio and open its preview as soon as the project can run, before building the composition. Keep it open while you work so the user can see changes and steer.
To launch a project in Remotion Studio, open its exact local URL, or configure Studio CLI flags, load Remotion Studio.
Captions
When working with Captions, load Remotion Captions.
