Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the synapse-ai-launch-template template.
BlueprintTo3DTransform
A 2D technical blueprint of a shape (e.g., hexagon) with construction lines and annotations smoothly transforms into a fully rendered 3D object, rotating slightly to reveal its depth.
+ Code construction recipe
Use `interpolate` for scaling, rotation, and opacity changes. Employ `ThreeCanvas` for the 3D model rendering, transitioning from a `LineMaterial` (wireframe) to a `MeshStandardMaterial` (solid). Animate camera position and target for the orbit.
DynamicTerminalUI
A multi-pane terminal interface displays simulated code execution, file changes, and system metrics with real-time typing effects, progress bars, and status updates.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize `Sequence` and `AbsoluteFill` for layout. Implement `TypewriterEffect` for text, `ProgressBar` for progress, and `Conditional` rendering for UI elements. Use `spring` for subtle button presses and `interpolate` for data value changes.
AgentStatusOverlay
A floating 3D cube logo is accompanied by dynamically updating status badges for various 'agents' (e.g., 'running', 'tests passed', 'PRs ready'), set against a changing background (day to night).
+ Code construction recipe
Render the 3D cube using `ThreeCanvas` with a subtle `spring` animation for bounce. Use `AbsoluteFill` for the background gradient and `interpolate` for color transitions. Implement `Sequence` for status badge pop-ins and `Text` components for dynamic data.

Objective
Launch 'Synapse AI', a collaborative platform for machine learning model development.How the recipe adapts
The BlueprintTo3DTransform primitive will render a neural network node evolving into the Synapse AI logo. The DynamicTerminalUI will be adapted to show model training logs, real-time data visualizations, and collaborative code editing. The AgentStatusOverlay will become a 'ModelStatusOverlay', showing models training in the background even when the user's device is closed, with a similar day-to-night background transition. The overall fast-cut pacing and clean typography will be maintained, with feature slides highlighting aspects like 'Distributed Training' and 'Version Control'.Remix blueprint · synapse-ai-launch-template
