Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the fast-cut-ai-wearable-launch template.
RapidSceneCut
Quick, almost jarring transitions between diverse live-action scenes, often with a slight camera shake or subtle movement within each shot.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize Remotion's <Sequence> component with very short durations (e.g., 0.5s - 2s). Implement `spring()` for subtle camera position/rotation changes on mount, and `interpolate()` for quick opacity fades between scenes.
ResponsiveTextReveal
On-screen text appears dynamically, often in response to spoken dialogue, with a clean, sans-serif typeface and a subtle, quick fade-in or scale-up animation.
+ Code construction recipe
Employ Remotion's `spring()` for `scale` and `opacity` properties of text components. Synchronize text appearance with audio cues using `useCurrentFrame()` and `AbsoluteFill` for positioning. Use `z-index` for layering over video.
ProductHighlightPulse
The product (Button device) is shown in close-up, sometimes with a subtle, almost imperceptible glow or focus shift, emphasizing its presence and design.
+ Code construction recipe
Apply a `filter: brightness()` or `box-shadow` CSS property to the product image/video element. Animate these properties using `interpolate()` with an `ease-in-out` curve to create a soft, pulsing effect. Ensure the effect is subtle to maintain realism.

Objective
Launch a new smart home hub called 'Nexus' that simplifies complex routines.How the recipe adapts
The video would open with quick cuts of people struggling with multiple remotes or complex smart home apps. Then, it would transition to them effortlessly using 'Nexus' for tasks like dimming lights, adjusting thermostats, or playing music, each interaction ending with a spoken 'Done.' The product reveal would feature a dramatic close-up of the Nexus hub glowing, followed by the 'NEXUS HOME' logo appearing with a powerful sub-bass drop.
