The Hook
Introducing Cursor Mobile: Seamless Agent Control
“(No spoken dialogue — The audio track begins with an ambient, sustained synth pad, setting a calm yet anticipatory tone.)”
- On screen
- Work with local agents using the Cursor mobile app
- Camera
- Static, centered text on a clean white background.
- Motion
- Simple text fade-in or pop-in, followed by a hold.
Product Reveal
Secure Device Authorization & Remote Control
“(No spoken dialogue — The ambient synth pad continues, gradually building tension with a prominent riser/swell from 0:07 to 0:10, leading to a powerful sub-bass drop.)”
- On screen
- 9:41 Paul's Cool Laptop This Device isn't Authorized To control agents on "Paul's Cool Laptop", authorize this device and approve it in Cursor on that computer. Authorize This Device 1526-0058 Markdown image request A new device wants to control this computer Approve only if "iPhone" shows this code: 1526-0058 Reject Approve
- Camera
- Static wide shot of a mobile phone UI on the left and a desktop IDE UI on the right. The mobile UI is initially partially obscured, then slides into full view. A modal dialog appears on the desktop UI.
- Motion
- Horizontal slide-in for UI elements, modal pop-up animation, subtle cursor interaction (mouse click animation).
Feature Teaser
AI-Powered Code Analysis & Iteration
“(No spoken dialogue — A powerful sub-bass drop and percussive synth impact at 0:10 introduce a driving rhythmic section with fast pizzicato-like synth arpeggios and electronic percussion. A significant sweep and riser builds from 0:24.)”
- On screen
- 9:41 Markdown image request please show me a screenshot of the scene, as a markdown image in your response Follow up... Can you make it better? Thought briefly I'll read the scene code to see what's there before changing it.

- Camera
- Static wide shot of mobile and desktop UIs. Focus shifts through animated typing, scrolling, and content generation within both interfaces, simulating real-time interaction.
- Motion
- Typing animation (character by character), smooth scrolling, content reveal (text and images), subtle UI element highlights, simulated user input (keyboard/mouse).
Call to Action
Cursor: Your Mobile Development Companion
“(No spoken dialogue — A major sub-bass drop and expansive orchestral synth chord at 0:25 shift the track into a more epic and high-energy cinematic phase, punctuated by strong impacts at 0:30 and a final resonant sub-bass hit at 0:35, before fading out with a sustained synth tail.)”
- On screen
- (No on-screen text)
- Camera
- Zoom-in on a transforming abstract geometric shape (Cursor logo elements), culminating in a full reveal of the Cursor logo, then a slow fade to black.
- Motion
- Geometric shape morphing, layered animation, scale and rotation transforms, subtle glow effects, smooth fade-out.
Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the cursor-mobile-dev-tool-launch template.
DualScreenSyncReveal
Two distinct screen UIs (mobile and desktop) appear simultaneously or in sequence, maintaining a clear visual relationship. Content within both UIs updates in synchronized fashion.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize `AbsoluteFill` for layout. Apply `spring()` for `translateX` and `scale` properties on two `Video` or `Img` components representing the UIs. Coordinate `Sequence` and `interpolate()` for synchronized content updates and transitions.
AITypingAndResponse
Simulates an AI generating text and code character by character, often accompanied by a blinking cursor. As text fills the screen, the content scrolls smoothly to reveal new lines of interaction or output.
+ Code construction recipe
Employ `Sequence` and `interpolate()` to reveal text characters over time. Implement a blinking cursor with `loop()` and `opacity` animation. Use `useCurrentFrame()` and text measurement utilities to calculate dynamic scroll positions for `translateY` based on content height.
GeometricLogoMorph
Abstract geometric shapes animate, rotate, scale, and combine to form a final, complete brand logo. This often involves a build-up of simple elements into a complex, recognizable mark.
+ Code construction recipe
Leverage `Path` or `Svg` components for the geometric shapes. Animate `d` attributes for complex morphing, or `transform` properties (scale, rotate, translate) with `spring()` or `interpolate()` for simpler transformations. Apply `gradient` or `filter` for subtle glow effects.

Remix in Animatiq Studio
Master remix prompt · agent-ready
Sample remix
Objective
Launch a new AI-powered design collaboration tool, "CanvasFlow," that allows designers to generate and iterate on UI mockups using natural language prompts, accessible from both web and tablet interfaces.How the recipe adapts
The "DualScreenSyncReveal" primitive would adapt to show a web browser UI and a tablet app UI. The "AITypingAndResponse" primitive would demonstrate AI generating design elements and mockups based on text prompts, with real-time updates reflected on both screens. The "GeometricLogoMorph" would transform abstract shapes into the "CanvasFlow" logo, maintaining the clean, modern aesthetic and purple color palette.Remix blueprint · cursor-mobile-dev-tool-launch
