Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the high-energy-founder-launch template.

GlitchTextReveal

Large, bold text appears on screen with a digital glitch and distortion effect, often accompanied by a sound impact. The text briefly flickers before settling into place.

+ Code construction recipe

Use Remotion's <Text> component with CSS filters for glitch effects (e.g., `filter: hue-rotate(var(--glitch-hue)) blur(var(--glitch-blur))`), combined with `interpolate` for position and opacity changes over a short duration. Synchronize with audio cues.

FastCutTextOverlay

Quickly appearing and disappearing text overlays, often numerical or single words, that punctuate spoken dialogue or visual actions. They have a subtle scale-up or slide-in animation.

+ Code construction recipe

Implement using `spring` or `interpolate` for rapid opacity and scale animations on <Text> components. Ensure short durations (e.g., 0.1-0.3 seconds) and precise timing with scene cuts and dialogue.

MetallicTextPop

Text elements appear with a glossy, metallic, or reflective texture, often scaling up or sliding in quickly. The texture suggests high value or importance.

+ Code construction recipe

Achieve this with SVG filters for metallic gradients and reflections, applied to <Text> components. Animate `transform: scale()` and `opacity` using `spring` for a snappy, impactful reveal.
