Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the grok-bot-ai-launch-template template.

ChatBubbleTypingReveal

A rounded rectangular chat bubble appears, and text types out within it, often accompanied by an animated ellipsis or typing indicator.

+ Code construction recipe

Use `Sequence` and `AbsoluteFill` for the chat bubble background. Text content can be revealed using `interpolate` on `opacity` and `clipPath` or `width` for a typing effect. The ellipsis can be animated with `spring` or `loop` for the dots.

StaggeredCardStackFlyIn

Multiple UI cards (e.g., social media posts) fly in from off-screen, stacking slightly offset, with a staggered delay between each card's animation.

+ Code construction recipe

Utilize `map` over an array of card data. Each card component uses `spring` or `interpolate` for `translateX`, `translateY`, and `rotate` properties, with a `delay` calculated based on its index in the array.

DynamicFeatureHighlight

A core phrase remains static while specific keywords within it are rapidly replaced and highlighted with different colors, emphasizing new capabilities.

+ Code construction recipe

Employ `Sequence` to manage the timing of text changes. Use `interpolate` for `opacity` and `color` transitions on the changing words. The base text can be a static `Text` component, with dynamic `Text` components layered on top for the changing words.

LogoMorphAndTextReveal

A simple geometric shape (e.g., a circle) transforms or expands into a more complex logo, followed by the brand name fading or typing in.

+ Code construction recipe

For the morph, use `SVG` path animation with `interpolate` on `d` attribute or `clipPath` for a reveal effect. The text can then `fadeIn` using `interpolate` on `opacity`.
