Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the aura-sync-routine-creator template.

UIDrawerSlide

A UI drawer slides smoothly from the left edge of the screen, revealing a list of menu options. It has a slight overshoot and settle effect.

+ Code construction recipe

Use `interpolate` with an `easeOutBack` easing function for the X-translation of the drawer component. The background dims slightly using `interpolate` for opacity.

TypingTextReveal

Text appears character by character, simulating real-time typing, often accompanied by a blinking cursor. This is used for both user input and AI responses.

+ Code construction recipe

Implement with `sequence` and `spring` for each character's opacity and scale, or use `interpolate` on the `substring` of the text content, revealing characters over time. A blinking cursor can be a separate `spring` animation for opacity.

InteractiveOptionSelect

When a user selects an option, a checkbox or radio button animates with a quick checkmark reveal, and the selected option might subtly highlight or change color.

+ Code construction recipe

Use `spring` for the checkmark icon's scale and opacity. The background color change of the selected option can be animated with `interpolate` using an `easeOut` curve.
