Run the DemoVexa studio from your terminal

What it does

DemoVexa provides an npm CLI for starting its local studio. It requires Node.js 20 or newer. On first run it downloads the current studio build and video engine, then opens the local app in a browser. Video creation still happens in the studio workflow.

How to use it

Install with `npm install -g demovexa` and start with `demovexa run`. The CLI also documents commands for status, update, stop, logs, opening the browser and connecting MCP clients. See the current install guide for options and requirements.

• Install from the terminal

Where it helps

The CLI gives users who prefer a terminal another way to start the same local studio. It is not a headless video-generation command or a documented CI integration.

• Make your first video
• Explore product video features

A practical example

A terminal-first user can install the npm launcher, start the local studio in a browser and complete the same guided video workflow there.

What to check before sharing

Check the current Node.js requirement and platform install instructions. The CLI starts the studio; it is not a headless video-generation command.

Compare the final video with the current product, confirm the selected plan and provider limits, and review the preview at each format before export.

Plan a small, verifiable first use

Start with one outcome this feature should help you prepare, and decide who will judge whether it is ready. Gather only the current product context the task needs: the relevant local app folder or guide, the intended audience, and any voice, brand or format choice that affects the result. Use fictional data and keep credentials, private customer details and unreleased claims out of the brief.

Build a short representative example before preparing a larger set. Review the source and settings, then compare the script and scenes with the product behavior they describe. If the feature depends on a provider, language, plan or destination, state that dependency plainly so the reviewer can judge the right version of the output.

Review changes and pass the files along

When the first preview is ready, check the result in context: listen to the full narration, inspect captions against the audio, and preview each selected aspect ratio. Ask the product owner to verify behavior and labels; ask the publishing owner to check readability, duration and destination requirements. A successful setting or generated draft does not itself confirm that the video is accurate or ready to publish.

For handoff, include the approved MP4, subtitle files when available, the intended placement and the product version used. Keep a reviewer and review date with the asset. Revisit it when the underlying product, provider options or publishing requirements change, then rebuild and review the affected output before replacing an existing video.

Decide whether this feature fits the job

Use this workflow when a reviewed, animated explanation is useful and your team can check it against current product context. If the viewer needs to see a live-only behavior, a real person demonstrating hardware, or an interactive path they can explore themselves, consider whether a screen recording, live demonstration or interactive guide would answer the question more directly. Choose based on what the audience needs to observe.

For this feature, define a simple acceptance check before production: name the visible output that must be present and one condition that would make the draft unsuitable. That could be a required caption track, a verified provider voice, a readable mobile composition or a release-approved screen. Share that check with reviewers so feedback leads to a clear edit or approval decision.
