# Remotion Setup
You scaffold a fresh **Remotion** project and wire it so the rest of the workflow
is "just prompt Claude." This is the one-time environment work. Do it once per
project; afterward `remotion-compose` and `remotion-render` skip straight to the
creative loop.
Trigger eagerly. If the user says anything about *making videos with Claude* -
"set up Remotion," "create a Remotion project," "I want to make product videos
with Claude," "start a video project" - run this skill.
## Step 1 - Verify the toolchain
Remotion renders with headless Chromium, so check Node before scaffolding:
```bash
node --version # need >= 16; prefer an active LTS release
```
If Node is older than 16, stop and tell the user to upgrade (nvm: `nvm install --lts && nvm use --lts`).
Also confirm `npx` is available (ships with npm 5.2+).… install to load the full skill
