Starting the Studio

Using the Remotion Studio, you can preview your video, and if a server is connected, even render the video.

Using an AI agent

If you use a coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, install the Remotion plugin for it.

Then invoke the /remotion-studio skill:

/remotion-studio

The agent will start the Studio and open it in your browser, or in its in-app browser if it has one.

Using the terminal

Prerequisites

The Remotion CLI is required to start the Studio from the terminal.
Most templates have it out of the box, but you can install it by running the following command in your terminal:

npm

npm i @remotion/cli

pnpm

pnpm i @remotion/cli

yarn

yarn add @remotion/cli

bun

bun i @remotion/cli

Launching the Studio

You can start the Remotion Studio by running the following command in your terminal:

Regular templates

npm start

Next.js and React Router 7 templates

npm run remotion

This is a shorthand for the studio command of the Remotion CLI:

npx remotion studio

See the available options here.

A server will be started on port 3000 (or a higher port if it isn't available) and the Remotion Studio should open in the browser.

Browse Elements

You can browse and use Elements directly inside Studio. Browse Elements includes the first-party Remotion Elements and can include third-party Element Libraries.

Setting a license key

Go to Settings... → License and choose your license. It is saved to your config file using Config.setPublicLicenseKey().

See Telemetry for other environments.
