Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the forma-bristol-kinetic-launch template.
KineticTextPop
Text appears with a quick scale-up and slight bounce, often accompanied by a subtle position shift, creating an energetic, impactful reveal.
+ Code construction recipe
Use `spring()` for scale and position, with a high damping ratio for the bounce effect. Interpolate `opacity` from 0 to 1. Apply `transform: translate()` and `scale()`.
ArchivalFootageOverlay
Vintage-style video clips are integrated, sometimes as picture-in-picture, sometimes full screen, often with a slight color grade or vignette to enhance the retro feel.
+ Code construction recipe
Implement a `Video` component with `CSS filters` (e.g., `sepia()`, `contrast()`, `saturate()`) and `opacity` adjustments. Use `absolute positioning` for picture-in-picture effects.
PresenterTextReveal
The presenter stands in a scene, and large, bold text animates in front of or behind them, often with a slight parallax effect relative to the background.
+ Code construction recipe
Layer `Text` component over `Video` component. Animate `Text` `transform: translateY()` and `scale()` using `interpolate()` with `easeOutCubic`. Consider `z-index` for layering effects.
