Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the essential-ai-agent-launch template.
TypingCursorReveal
Text appears character by character as if being typed, accompanied by a blinking cursor at the end of the input. This simulates real-time user input.
+ Code construction recipe
Use `interpolate` to animate the `opacity` and `width` of a text layer, revealing characters sequentially. A separate `spring` animation can control the blinking `opacity` of a cursor element.
SeamlessUIOverlay
Digital UI elements and generated app interfaces seamlessly appear and overlay onto physical device screens or within real-world environments.
+ Code construction recipe
Employ `AbsoluteFill` for the UI components, using `z-index` to layer them over video footage. Utilize `spring` or `interpolate` for scale and position animations to make the UI pop into place on the device screen, potentially with a slight blur or glow effect.
PixelatedGlitchReveal
Text or logos are revealed with a distinct pixelated, blocky, or glitching effect, often accompanied by a subtle distortion or scanline aesthetic.
+ Code construction recipe
Implement a custom `Shader` or `SVG filter` to achieve the pixelation and glitch effects. Animate the `resolution` or `intensity` of the effect using `interpolate` to transition from a distorted state to a clear one. Combine with `dither` or `scanline` overlays for added texture.

Sample remix
Objective
An AI-powered smart home hub that learns user routines and proactively manages home environment settings.How the recipe adapts
The video would open with a cluttered smart home setup, then transition to a minimalist home where the user interacts with the AI hub. Typing animations would show prompts like 'Optimize my morning routine for productivity' or 'Create a relaxing evening ambiance'. The SeamlessUIOverlay primitive would display the hub's interface on a physical screen, showing dynamic schedules and environmental controls. PixelatedGlitchReveal would be used for the brand logo and key feature highlights, maintaining the tech-forward feel. The fast cuts and synchronized audio would emphasize the hub's responsiveness and intelligence.Remix blueprint · essential-ai-agent-launch
