## When to use
Use this skills whenever you are dealing with Remotion code to obtain the domain-specific knowledge.
## New project setup
When in an empty folder or workspace with no existing Remotion project, scaffold one using:
```bash
npx create-video@latest --yes --blank --no-tailwind my-video
```
Replace `my-video` with a suitable project name.
## Designing a video
Before designing visual scenes, layouts, promos, motion graphics, or text-heavy videos, load [rules/video-layout.md](rules/video-layout.md) for video-first layout and text sizing guidance.
Animate properties using `useCurrentFrame()` and `interpolate()`. Prefer `interpolate()` over `spring()` unless physics-based motion is explicitly needed. Use `Easing.bezier()` to customize timing, including jumpy or overshooting motion.
For animations that should be editable in Remotion Studio, keep the `interpolate()` call inline in the `style` prop and use individual CSS transform properties (`scale`, `translate`, `rotate`) instead of composing a `transform` string.
```tsx
import { useCurrentFrame, Easing, interpolate, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
export const FadeIn = () => {
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const opacity = interpolate(frame, [0, 2 * fps], [0, 1], {
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
easing: Easing.bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1),
});
return <div style={{ opacity }}>Hello World!</div>;
};
```
Prefer:
```tsx
style={{
