Adapt it.

Replace `PosterPlaceAndReveal` with a `ScreenSwipeReveal` component.
Update `TextHighlightPulse` to target digital text elements on the screen.
Substitute `IconicCharacterFocus` with a `ProductLogoDisplay` component.
Adjust audio cues to match digital interactions (swipes, taps) instead of physical placement.

Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the digital-screen-reveal-cta template.

PosterPlaceAndReveal

A person places a poster onto a wall, then steps back to reveal its full content, including text and an image. The poster appears to adhere smoothly.

+ Code construction recipe

Use a `Sequence` component for the person's action. Animate `opacity` and `scale` for the poster's appearance. Implement a `spring` animation for the final 'snap' into place and the person's step-back.

TextHighlightPulse

Key text elements on the poster, specifically 'Product Hunt!', subtly pulse or glow to draw attention.

+ Code construction recipe

Apply a `Keyframes` animation to the `color` or `text-shadow` CSS property of the text. Use `interpolate` with `ease-in-out` for a smooth, subtle pulsing effect, synchronized with audio beats.

IconicCharacterFocus

An iconic character (the cat with glasses) is revealed as part of the poster, serving as a memorable visual anchor.

+ Code construction recipe

The character image is part of the static poster asset. Ensure high-resolution image. No specific animation on the character itself, but its reveal is part of the `PosterPlaceAndReveal` primitive.
