Fallback for failed Studio install

Author: JonnyBurgerCreated Sep 17, 2026Updated Sep 17, 2026

Let's say someone is just fooling around and is clicking the button
Or their Studio server disconnected or there is some other sort of problem

I think we show a modal with fallback options:

No running Remotion Studio was found. Try focusing it and then clicking again: [Install in Studio] You can also drag the button above into a Studio

Other ways to install

  • Click "Browse Elements" in the Studio and select this element
  • Copy the source code into your project
  • Paste the URL of this page into a coding agent and ask it to install

Maybe an even smarter idea

The button just says "Install in Studio". It reveals nothing about the implementation.
We could just pretend that there was no failure at all, and open the modal showing only the fallback instructions and make the user feel like this is the actual path.
