Run npx helios studio from your project root to launch a local Vite server and open the provided localhost URL to access the Studio for previewing your Helios video composition directly in the browser.

Yes, Helios Studio supports hot reload for live editing timelines. Code changes are hot-reloaded in real time, preserving the current frame so you can see instant updates without restarting the preview server or losing your playback position.

Yes, you can test inputProps dynamically when previewing Helios compositions. If your composition uses a schema, the Studio's Props Panel allows you to adjust input values and see immediate effects on the video preview without manual code changes.

The keyboard controls for timeline playback in Helios Studio include pressing Space to Play or Pause, using Arrow keys to step through frames, and pressing L to toggle Looping. You can also scrub through the timeline manually with your mouse.

You do not need any specific dependencies installed beforehand to run the Helios Studio preview. The command npx helios studio executes the tool directly without requiring a global installation or manual local server setup in your project.
