Overview
Prepare the Remotion monorepo, launch the Convert app, and open the served URL in the Codex in-app browser.
Workflow
- From the repository root, run:
bun i && bun run build
- Start the Convert app:
cd packages/convert && bun run dev
- Keep the server process running and read its output for the local URL. The expected default is
http://localhost:5173, but follow the printed URL if Vite chooses another port. - Open the URL in the Codex in-app browser. If no browser tool is available yet, use
tool_searchfor the in-app browser control tool, then navigate to the local URL. - Tell the user the Convert URL and whether this is a newly started or already running server.
