Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the ui-feature-reveal-fast-cut template.
ContextualMenuReveal
A right-click context menu appears with a subtle fade and scale, followed by a hover state highlight on menu items. Sub-menus expand horizontally.
+ Code construction recipe
Use `interpolate` for opacity and `scale` transform. Implement `spring` for hover states on menu items. Sub-menu expansion can use `translateX` with `easeOutCubic`.
HorizontalTabScroll
The camera smoothly pans horizontally across a long row of tabs, highlighting individual tabs or groups as it moves. Tabs can visually 'snap' into focus.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize `useCurrentFrame` and `interpolate` for `translateX` on the tab container. Implement `spring` for a subtle 'snap' effect when a tab group becomes active. Ensure `overflow: hidden` on the parent container.
TabGroupFormation
Multiple individual tabs visually coalesce into a single, colored tab group. This involves a slight repositioning and a change in visual styling (e.g., background color, border radius).
+ Code construction recipe
Animate `x` position, `width`, `backgroundColor`, and `borderRadius` using `spring` or `easeOutExpo`. Use `z-index` to manage layering during the transition. Text input animation can be a simple `typewriter` effect.

Objective
Demonstrate a new 'Smart Inbox' feature for an email client that automatically categorizes emails.How the recipe adapts
The video would open with a cluttered email inbox, using rapid cuts and horizontal scrolling to convey the overwhelming number of unread messages. Then, a ContextualMenuReveal primitive would show the 'Categorize' option. The TabGroupFormation primitive would be adapted to show emails visually sorting into 'Work', 'Personal', and 'Promotions' folders with distinct colors, using smooth transitions. The HorizontalTabScroll primitive would be repurposed to pan across the newly organized inbox, highlighting the efficiency. The final screen would feature the email client's logo and a tagline like 'Your Inbox, Reimagined'.Remix blueprint · ui-feature-reveal-fast-cut
