Projects

What is a Project?

A Snipsy project is a folder on disk containing all your demo assets: text snippets, video clips, scripts, and configuration. Everything is stored as plain JSON files, so projects are easy to version control and share.

Folder Structure

my-demo-project/
├── project.json           # Project metadata + all snippets
├── scripts/               # Automation scripts (JSON)
│   └── build-demo.json
└── videos/                # Imported video files
    ├── build-process.mp4
    └── deploy-demo.mp4

project.json

The main project file contains:

{
  "name": "My Demo",
  "description": "A demo for the conference talk",
  "textSnippets": [
    {
      "id": "uuid-here",
      "title": "React Import",
      "text": "import React from 'react';",
      "hotkey": "CmdOrControl+Shift+1",
      "delivery": "fast-type",
      "typeDelay": 30
    }
  ],
  "videoSnippets": [
    {
      "id": "uuid-here",
      "title": "Build Process",
