Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the ai-companion-launch template.
PixelCharacterInteraction
A small, pixelated character with a glowing head moves across the screen, interacting with UI elements by jumping or indicating actions with visual cues like a '1' notification.
+ Code construction recipe
Use Remotion's <Img> component for the pixel character sprite sheet, animate position and scale with `interpolate` and `spring` for jumps. Implement conditional rendering for notification bubbles and interaction indicators.
FloatingUIPanel
Application windows appear as 3D floating panels with subtle depth, casting soft shadows, and animating into position with smooth, slightly bouncy transitions.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize Remotion's `AbsoluteFill` for scene composition. Apply `transform` properties (translateZ, rotateX/Y) for 3D perspective. Animate `opacity`, `x`, `y`, and `scale` with `spring` for organic movement. Implement `box-shadow` for depth.
DynamicTextReveal
On-screen text appears with a clean, quick wipe or fade-in effect, often accompanied by a subtle glow or a smooth transition between lines.
+ Code construction recipe
Employ `interpolate` for `opacity` and `transform` (e.g., `translateX` for a wipe effect) on individual text elements or lines. Use `delay` to stagger text reveals for a dynamic flow. Consider `text-shadow` for subtle glow effects.

Objective
Launch a new AI-powered interior design assistant that generates room layouts and furniture suggestions.How the recipe adapts
The serene background would become an abstract representation of a home interior, with glowing architectural lines. The pixel character would be a small, animated robot assistant, moving between UI panels that display room mockups and furniture options. Text reveals would highlight features like 'Instant Layouts' and 'Style Matching'. The overall pacing and UI animation style would remain consistent, showcasing the AI's speed and intuitive interaction.Remix blueprint · ai-companion-launch
