Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the glitch-wave-launch template.
CharacterGridMorph
An image or video is dynamically rendered using a grid of ASCII characters, which then morph and animate based on underlying content changes or style selections. Characters can change size, color, and density.
+ Code construction recipe
Implement a Remotion <Canvas> component. Use a shader (e.g., GLSL) to sample the source video/image and map pixel data to a grid of text characters. Animate character properties (font-size, color, opacity) using `interpolate` and `spring` based on time or user input. Apply SVG filters for dither and scanline effects.
GlitchScanlineTransition
A rapid, high-energy transition effect featuring horizontal scanlines, chromatic aberration, RGB splits, and momentary pixelation or static. Often used to punctuate scene changes or text reveals.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize Remotion's <Sequence> and <AbsoluteFill> components. Apply CSS filters for `hue-rotate`, `saturate`, `contrast`, and `blur`. Animate `transform: skewX` and `transform: translateX` for horizontal distortion. Overlay SVG filters for scanlines and chromatic aberration. Use `interpolate` with `easeOutCubic` for quick, impactful transitions.
InteractiveUIHighlight
UI elements (buttons, sliders, dropdowns) are highlighted and animated to simulate user interaction, often accompanied by a glowing cursor or selection box. Content within the UI dynamically updates.
+ Code construction recipe
Create UI components using React. Animate `opacity`, `scale`, and `box-shadow` properties on hover/click events using Remotion's `spring` function for a responsive feel. Simulate cursor movement with `interpolate` on `transform: translateX/Y`. Use `useCurrentFrame` to synchronize UI updates with the video timeline.

Objective
Launch a new AI-powered sound design tool, 'Audio Alchemy Pro'.How the recipe adapts
The visual aesthetic will shift from character-based rendering to dynamic visualizations of sound, such as evolving waveforms, spectral graphs, and abstract sonic patterns, all rendered with a glitchy, scanline-heavy, retro-digital feel. UI elements will demonstrate real-time audio effect application and parameter adjustments, maintaining the fast-paced, interactive feel. Text will use a monospace font with neon glows and chromatic aberration, appearing with quick, impactful glitch transitions. The overall pacing and high cut rate will be retained, synchronized with a driving electronic audio track.Remix blueprint · glitch-wave-launch
