Use the web studio
The fastest path is the hosted Studio. Drag scenes onto the timeline, edit props in the Inspector, set per-clip transitions, and export to MP4 right from the browser. No install required.
Copy a scene into your project
Every component is also pure source code, exposed in the Source section at the bottom of its docs page. Each scene is a self-contained .tsx file with one external dependency:
npm install remotion
Pick a scene from the components page, click the Source tab, then Copy or Download. Drop the file into your Remotion project (e.g. src/compositions/Terminal/Terminal.tsx). The meta.ts tab gives you the defaults, dimensions, and Inspector fields that the Studio uses — copy that next to it.
Register the scene with Remotion like any other composition:
// src/Root.tsx
import { Composition } from "remotion";
import { Terminal } from "./compositions/Terminal/Terminal";
import { terminalDefaultProps } from "./compositions/Terminal/meta";
export const RemotionRoot: React.FC = () => (
<Composition
id="Terminal"
component={Terminal}
defaultProps={terminalDefaultProps}
durationInFrames={360}
fps={60}
width={1920}
height={1080}
/>
);
Render a video
From your Remotion project:
npx remotion render Terminal out/video.mp4
That's it. No CLI to install, no global config to manage.
