Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the minimal-devtool-product-demo template.
BrowserWindowModal
Centered rounded window container that spawns a popover dialog with smooth scale and opacity easing.
+ Code construction recipe
Wrap children in a rounded container with border and drop-shadow. Animate modal entry using spring({ frame, fps, config: { damping: 15, stiffness: 120 } }) applied to scale and opacity.SyntheticCursorPointer
Simulated vector cursor interpolating between coordinate waypoints to trigger interactive button states.
+ Code construction recipe
Use interpolate() on frame numbers to control left and top coordinates with easeInOutCubic, toggling a scale pulse on target timestamps.
TerminalCodeTyper
Monospace code block that reveals commands character-by-character accompanied by a blinking block cursor.
+ Code construction recipe
Slice text strings based on interpolate(frame, [start, end], [0, text.length]) and render an inline blinking cursor using Math.floor(frame / 15) % 2 === 0.
