Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the elgato-wavecast-launch-template template.
ProblemAgitationZoom
A static, slightly off-kilter shot of a person looking frustrated at a complex setup, emphasizing the problem through relatable human emotion and visual clutter.
+ Code construction recipe
Use a static <Img> component for the background, with a slight 'rotate' transform for off-kilter framing. Overlay a subtle 'vignette' filter for mood. No camera motion, focus on subject's expression.
GradientLogoReveal
A product logo fades in and then animates with a vibrant color fill, transitioning from a subtle outline to a fully colored, prominent display against a gradient background.
+ Code construction recipe
Implement a <Sequence> with two <AbsoluteFill> components. The first shows the logo as an outline, fading in with 'opacity' interpolation. The second uses an SVG path for the logo, animating 'fill' and 'stroke' properties with a 'spring' curve, transitioning to a vibrant gradient. Background uses a CSS 'linear-gradient' with animated color stops.
UIInteractionHighlight
Screen recordings of a software interface where specific UI elements (buttons, dropdowns, text fields) are highlighted and animated to simulate user interaction, demonstrating functionality.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize <Video> components for screen recordings. Overlay transparent <AbsoluteFill> layers with 'border' and 'background-color' (low opacity) to highlight interactive elements. Animate 'scale' and 'opacity' on these overlays with 'ease-in-out' interpolation to simulate clicks and selections. Use a custom cursor SVG that animates 'translate' to follow interaction points.
