# Scaffold a Remotion Element

The [Element contribution guide](../../../packages/docs/elements/contributing.mdx) is the source of truth for Element development. Read it completely, then follow its [Develop the Element](../../../packages/docs/elements/contributing.mdx#1-develop-the-element) section.

After scaffolding, suggest opening Docs Studio to preview the Element. If the user agrees, start it without opening a browser automatically:

```bash
cd packages/docs
bunx remotion studio --no-open
```

Read the URL from the command output and open that URL in the available browser.
