Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the humanoid-product-launch-template template.
GlowRingAccent
A subtle, animated white ring appears and pulses around a circular feature on the robot's head, indicating activity or a focal point. It can also transition between states or colors.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize an SVG circle with a `stroke` and `stroke-width`, animating the `stroke-dasharray` and `stroke-dashoffset` properties for a pulsing or drawing effect. Use `filter: drop-shadow()` for the glow. Interpolate `opacity` and `stroke` color for state changes.
TexturedSurfaceReveal
Close-up shots reveal intricate fabric textures and mechanical details of the robot, often with subtle camera movements to highlight depth and material quality.
+ Code construction recipe
Employ high-resolution video assets or 3D renders. For Remotion, this translates to `Video` components with `object-fit: cover` and `scale` transformations. Use `spring` animations for subtle camera pushes or pulls on these detailed shots.
ProductFeatureCarousel
A static product shot (e.g., robot head) remains central while underlying features (like color options or pricing tiers) animate in and out, or cycle through, beneath it.
+ Code construction recipe
Layer `Image` or `Video` components for the product. Use `AbsoluteFill` for background. Animate `opacity` and `transform: translateY()` for text and color swatch elements to slide or fade in/out. Use `Sequence` and `spring` for smooth transitions between feature states.
