Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the adaptive-ai-launch-style template.

GlowIconPop

Icons appear with a subtle glow and a slight scale-up, then settle. This indicates a connection or activation.

+ Code construction recipe

Use `spring()` for scale and opacity, with a `filter: drop-shadow()` for the glow effect. Animate `transform: scale()` from 0.8 to 1.05 then to 1.0.

TranslucentBubbleText

Text appears within a rounded, translucent bubble that slides in from the bottom or side with a soft bounce.

+ Code construction recipe

Implement with `interpolate()` for `transform: translateY()` and `opacity`. Apply `backdrop-filter: blur()` and `border-radius` for the bubble style. Use a custom easing curve for the bounce.

ContextualCardFlow

Multiple information cards (e.g., 'FIRST TIME', 'ENCODED MEMORY', 'NEXT TIME') appear sequentially, often with connecting lines, illustrating a process flow.

+ Code construction recipe

Animate `opacity` and `transform: translateX()` for each card using `sequence()` and `delay()`. SVG paths can be used for connecting lines, animating `stroke-dashoffset`.
