Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the dynamic-plugin-launch template.
GlitchTextReveal
Text appears with a digital glitch and distortion effect, as if being rendered or corrupted, then resolves into clear typography. A cursor interacts with the text during its appearance.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize Remotion's <Text> component with custom shaders or SVG filters for glitch effects. Animate opacity, position, and color with `interpolate` and `spring` for the resolution. Overlay a cursor SVG animated along a path.
InteractiveUISlider
A UI panel with sliders and controls is shown, with a cursor actively dragging a slider to demonstrate a real-time visual change on an adjacent element.
+ Code construction recipe
Render a UI component with slider elements. Animate the slider's thumb position using `interpolate` or `spring` to simulate user interaction. The visual output (e.g., 3D object, image collage) should react dynamically to the slider's animated value.
DynamicWordHighlight
Sentences appear on screen, with specific keywords or phrases highlighted through a color change or subtle animation as they are revealed.
+ Code construction recipe
Use Remotion's <Sequence> and <AbsoluteFill> for text layers. Animate individual words or phrases using `interpolate` for opacity and color changes. A `delay` prop can control sequential word appearance.

Objective
Launch a new AI-powered code generation tool called 'SyntaxFlow' that simplifies front-end development.How the recipe adapts
The GlitchTextReveal primitive would be used for 'SyntaxFlow' and 'no boilerplate' text. InteractiveUISlider would demonstrate a code editor with sliders controlling AI parameters like 'Component Complexity' or 'Framework Preference', showing code updating in real-time. DynamicWordHighlight would emphasize 'Generate code, effortlessly' before the SyntaxFlow logo reveal. The color palette would shift to a tech-focused scheme with greens and blues, maintaining the fast-paced editing and electronic sound design.Remix blueprint · dynamic-plugin-launch
