+## Create a new project
+
+The fastest way to get started is to scaffold a project. This creates a small app with the Studio SDK already set up, including the canvas, timeline, and controls.
+
+```bash
+npm create video-editor@latest
+# or
+npx create-video-editor
+```
+
+You'll be asked for a project name and a framework. The CLI then scaffolds the app, installs dependencies, starts the dev server, and opens a live editor in your browser.
+
+```bash
+npx create-video-editor my-video-editor
+```
+
+To skip the prompts, pass the project directory and framework directly:
+
+```bash
+npx create-video-editor my-editor --template react --yes
