Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the founder-ui-demo-template template.
UIScreenReveal
A full-screen application interface slides in from the left or right, often accompanied by a subtle blur or fade-in effect. UI elements within the screen then animate into their final positions.
+ Code construction recipe
Use `spring()` for the main container's `translateX` and `opacity`. Individual UI elements can use `interpolate()` with `delay` for staggered appearance, animating `translateY` and `opacity`.
TypingCursorEffect
Text appears character by character in an input field, simulating real-time typing, with a blinking cursor at the end of the input.
+ Code construction recipe
Implement `interpolate()` on the `text.length` property to reveal characters sequentially. A separate `spring()` or `loop()` animation can control the `opacity` of a vertical bar for the blinking cursor.
ToggleSwitchHighlight
A UI toggle switch animates from an 'off' to 'on' state, with a distinct color change and a subtle glow or highlight around the active state.
+ Code construction recipe
Use `spring()` for the `translateX` of the toggle's thumb and `backgroundColor` for the track. A `box-shadow` with `opacity` interpolation can create the glow effect.

Objective
A new AI-powered project management tool, 'TaskFlow', that automates task delegation and progress tracking across teams.How the recipe adapts
The video would open with the founder introducing TaskFlow's ability to streamline project workflows for remote teams. This would transition to a UI screen reveal of the TaskFlow desktop app, demonstrating how to connect team members and set up automated task rules using the 'UIScreenReveal' and 'TypingCursorEffect' primitives. A 'ToggleSwitchHighlight' would show enabling AI-powered delegation. The video would then shift to the mobile app, showing a team member receiving and updating tasks on their phone, emphasizing cross-device synchronization. The closing would feature the founder reiterating TaskFlow's benefits, followed by the TaskFlow logo and website.Remix blueprint · founder-ui-demo-template
