Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the astral-fast-cut-ai-launch template.
FastCutGridReveal
Multiple UI screens or content cards rapidly appear and arrange themselves into a grid, often with a slight 3D perspective shift or quick scale-in. Individual elements within the grid may have subtle animations.
+ Code construction recipe
Use `Sequence` and `AbsoluteFill` for scene management. Implement `spring()` for scale and opacity on individual grid items. Utilize `map()` to render an array of `GridItem` components, each with a `delay` based on its index for staggered entry. Apply `rotateY` or `rotateX` for subtle 3D perspective shifts.
TypingProgressDisplay
Text appears character by character as if being typed, often accompanied by a blinking cursor. A progress bar or loading indicator animates simultaneously, showing completion of a task.
+ Code construction recipe
For typing, use `splitChars()` on text and `interpolate()` `opacity` and `translateX` for each character based on `frame`. A blinking cursor can be a simple `Rectangle` with `spring()` `opacity`. The progress bar can be a `LinearGradient` or `Rectangle` with `interpolate()` `width` based on a `progress` value.
DynamicUIHighlight
Specific UI elements (buttons, text fields, checkboxes) are highlighted, scaled, or animated into view to draw attention to their functionality, often with a subtle glow or outline effect.
+ Code construction recipe
Wrap target UI elements in a `spring()` animated `View` component. Use `scale`, `opacity`, and `translate` for entry and exit animations. Apply `BoxShadow` or `Border` with `interpolate()` `color` and `width` for highlight effects. SVG filters can be used for glow effects.

Objective
Launch video for 'CanvasFlow', an AI agent that generates design mockups from text prompts.How the recipe adapts
The 'FastCutGridReveal' primitive will be used to display a grid of AI-generated design mockups. The 'TypingProgressDisplay' will show a user typing a prompt like 'Design a landing page for a coffee shop' and then a progress bar filling as CanvasFlow generates the design. 'DynamicUIHighlight' will draw attention to features like 'one-click variations' or 'brand guideline adherence'. The overall pacing will match the original, with rapid cuts synchronized to an energetic electronic track, transitioning between problem (slow, manual design) and solution (fast, AI-driven design).Remix blueprint · astral-fast-cut-ai-launch
