Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the ecosystem-orbit-showcase template.
OrbitalNetworkNode
Central icon surrounded by rotating circular tiers holding connected service badges.
+ Code construction recipe
Use useCurrentFrame to drive rotation angle on concentric SVG circles; position child icons with polar-to-Cartesian transforms.
SlidingCardStack
Series of cards angled in isometric 3D space sliding uniformly along horizontal track.
+ Code construction recipe
Map array of integration configs across Sequence components; apply spring-based translateX and fixed rotateX/rotateY transforms.
TypewriterPromptSurvey
Text prompt enters synthetic search box, triggers button press, and renders split preview UI.
+ Code construction recipe
Drive string slice with frame count, trigger scale spring on submit icon, and animate flex width of survey panel from 0 to 1.
WalledGardenCubeBreak
Translucent wireframe cube rotates and panels unfold outward to release central avatar.
+ Code construction recipe
Construct 3D CSS cube using 6 div faces; interpolate transform rotateX/Y and translateZ faces outward based on spring progress.
