Npx Create-video doesnt Work on Windows

Looks like the problem is in the dotfiles.ts file . Not sure why the code search for a _gitignore with the underscore in front. If you replace for a dot it throw an error in the copy process.

A workaround in windows is to install create-video as a dependency in any node project and then manually copy and install the dependencies of the _template folder.

1. Create a npm project
   npm init -f
2. Install create-video
   npm install create-video -D
3. Go to node_modules/create-video/_template and copy that folder anywhere in your computer
4. Go to that new folder and install the dependencies
   npm install
5. Now build your videonpm run build
6. Watch your video in the same folder under out.mp4

Hope it helps.

Sorry about that! I now have properly setup Windows on my computer and can test it in the future! Plus, in the next release, these issues will be resolved 🎉
