# Getting started

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.
