# Getting started

When you launch the [Blings.io](http://blings.io/) extension for the first time, you’ll be prompted with a login screen. If you already have an account, enter your username and password to log in.

If you don't have an account, please contact us at <design@blings.io> and we will provide you with the necessary details.
{% endhint %}

To create a new project, click on the 'plus' icon located at the top right corner. Type in the desired project name, such as "Yearly Wrap" or "Black Friday Sale". The project name will be visible on all platforms, so choose a name that accurately represents its use case.

After opening a project, the list displays all the compositions in our project. Compositions are the "scenes" that make up our timelines. We have the option to create a video and render its "Main" composition as a whole, or we can upload separate compositions for more flexibility in our timeline.

## FAQ

<details>

<summary><strong>Why isn’t the composition list isn’t showing the updated list</strong></summary>

After adding, renaming or doing any updates to the composition, the Extension may require a slight prompt to refresh. You can achieve this by either clicking on the "Filter Selected" option or by exiting to the main projects list window and then returning to this specific project.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.blings.io/role-guides/creator/exstension/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
