create-video-zh

Create a new Remotion project using the create-video-zh CLI.

Usage

npx create-video-zh@latest my-video

By default, the generated project uses the official Remotion packages, so npm install works without publishing a full forked package set.

If you explicitly enable fork mode, the generated project keeps the official dependency keys like remotion and @remotion/cli, but rewrites them to npm:@junwan666/... alias packages and writes a scoped .npmrc.

When the official package mode is used, the generated project also writes a local postinstall helper that can copy the localized Studio frontend from a nearby remotion-zh checkout. By default it looks for ../Work/remotion-zh/packages/studio/dist and ../remotion-zh/packages/studio/dist, or you can set REMOTION_ZH_STUDIO_DIST.

Environment variables

• REMOTION_USE_FORK: Enable fork package aliases. Default: disabled
• REMOTION_FORK_SCOPE: Override the published fork scope. Default: @junwan666
• REMOTION_FORK_VERSION: Override the fork package version. Default: 4.0.448-zh.0
• REMOTION_FORK_REGISTRY: Write a scoped .npmrc entry for a custom registry. Default: https://registry.npmjs.org
• REMOTION_TEMPLATE_ORG: Override the GitHub org used to clone templates. Default: remotion-dev
• REMOTION_ZH_STUDIO_DIST: Absolute or relative path to remotion-zh/packages/studio/dist for applying the localized Studio frontend in official package mode

Example:

```bash

REMOTION_USE_FORK=1 npx create-video-zh@latest my-video

If `npx create-video-zh@latest my-video` cannot be found because your npm registry mirror has not synced the package yet, run:

```bash
npx --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org create-video-zh@latest my-video

Publish

Use the root-level helper:

bun run fork:pack
bun run fork:publish
