Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the cyberpunk-agentic-launch template.
RetroCRTOverlay
A persistent overlay mimicking an old CRT monitor, complete with scanlines, subtle screen curvature, and a red 'REC' indicator.
+ Code construction recipe
Implement as a top-level SVG filter or Canvas overlay. Use CSS `filter: url(#crt-scanlines)` for scanlines, `transform: perspective(100px) rotateX(2deg)` for curvature, and a blinking red circle for 'REC'.
OrbitalEnergyPulse
A central glowing orb emits pulsating light and energy, with surrounding abstract elements reacting to its intensity.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize `interpolate` for color and scale changes on the orb. Use `spring` for reactive particle bursts and light trails. SVG gradients and `filter: blur()` can enhance the glow effect.
DigitalCircuitReveal
Intricate circuit board patterns illuminate and animate, revealing underlying technological complexity with glowing lines and nodes.
+ Code construction recipe
Animate SVG paths for circuit lines using `stroke-dasharray` and `stroke-dashoffset` for drawing effects. Use `interpolate` for color shifts and `opacity` changes on individual nodes to simulate power flow.

Objective
Launch an AI-powered threat intelligence platform called 'Sentinel'.How the recipe adapts
The RetroCRTOverlay will frame the entire video, giving Sentinel a classic hacker aesthetic. The OrbitalEnergyPulse will be adapted to show Sentinel's AI core processing threats, with the energy bursts representing real-time threat neutralization. DigitalCircuitReveal will illustrate Sentinel's network scanning and data analysis capabilities, with glowing lines tracing detected vulnerabilities. The neon purple, blue, and green palette will be maintained, and the distressed typography will be used for 'Sentinel' and its feature callouts like 'Threat Neutralized' and 'Adaptive Defense'.Remix blueprint · cyberpunk-agentic-launch
