npx remotion add

Adds one or more Remotion packages to your project with the same version as your other Remotion packages.

npx remotion add <package-name...>

Examples​

Add a single package:

bash
npx remotion add @remotion/transitions

Add multiple packages at once:

bash
npx remotion add @remotion/transitions @remotion/three @remotion/lottie

This command will:

  1. Verify that all package names are valid Remotion packages
  2. Check which packages are already installed (and skip them)
  3. Detect the version of your currently installed Remotion packages
  4. Install the specified packages with the matching version

Flags​

--package-managerv4.0.367​

optional

Forces a specific package manager to be used. By default, Remotion will auto-detect the package manager based on your lockfile.

Acceptable values are npm, yarn and pnpm

Package manager support​

npm, yarn and pnpm are all supported.

Additional arguments​

Any additional arguments you pass to this command will be forwarded as flags to the package manager, before the package name.

Use case​

This command is useful when you want to add new Remotion packages to your project and ensure they're installed with the same version as your other Remotion packages. This helps avoid version mismatches that could cause compatibility issues.

For example, if you have remotion@4.0.100 installed and you want to add @remotion/transitions, running npx remotion add @remotion/transitions will install @remotion/transitions@4.0.100.

When adding multiple packages, the command will install all of them in a single operation with the same version number.
