# Create Project

> Create a new project using Project object

This guide explains how to create a new project using the BlendDuck SDK.

## Usage

To create a new project, you'll use the `projects.create()` method of the BlendDuck client.

```typescript
import BlendDuck, { Project, Clip, Text, Animation, AnimationType } from "@blendduck/node-sdk";

// Initialize the BlendDuck client
const client = new BlendDuck({
  apiKey: process.env.BLENDDUCK_API_KEY
});

async function createProject() {
  // Create a new project
  const project = new Project();
  project.title = "My New Video Project";
  project.ratio = "16:9";

  // Create a clip
  const clip = new Clip(5); // 5-second clip

  // Add a text element to the clip
  const textElement = new Text();
  textElement.text = "Hello, BlendDuck!";
  textElement.x = 960; // Center horizontally (assuming 1920x1080 resolution)
  textElement.y = 540; // Center vertically
  textElement.fontSize = 60;

  // Add a fade-in animation to the text
  const fadeIn = new Animation(AnimationType.FadeIn);
  fadeIn.startTime = 0;
  fadeIn.endTime = 1;
  textElement.addAnimation(fadeIn);

  // Add the text element to the clip
  clip.addElement(textElement);

  // Add the clip to the project
  project.addClip(clip);

  // Create the project on BlendDuck
  const projectId = await client.projects.create(project);

  console.log(`Project created successfully! ID: ${projectId}`);
  console.log(`Edit your project at: https://blendduck.com/editor/${projectId}`);
}

// Usage
createProject();
```

<Note>When creating a new project, there is at least one `Clip` in the `Project`.</Note>

## Error Handling

If there's an issue with creating the project or with the API request, the method will throw an error. It's good practice to wrap the call in a try-catch block to handle any potential errors gracefully.
