Adapt it.

Replace initial cartoon with a relevant product-specific visual or abstract animation.
Update all on-screen text and UI elements to reflect 'SyntaxFlow' branding and functionality.
Customize the `UITypingReveal` component with new prompts and AI responses related to code refactoring.
Adjust `GlitchProgressBar` text to 'Analyzing Code...' or 'Refactoring...'.
Ensure `ExtremeMotionBlurTransition` is used between key narrative beats.
Replace the generated video playback with a dynamic code comparison animation.
Update the final logo reveal with 'SyntaxFlow' branding and a new tagline.

Create a skill for video generation using MiniMax's Hailuo 2.3 model. Include both image-to-video and text-to-video. Make sure to read through the official API docs first. Make no mistakes. Here's my MiniMax API key: sk-api-8fvCW8dy-2YsYCII9JEAuCgAjQpalvMD7Q9az_l1pJxO5FkcigwXneyfvrRwTmZTmARM5IXFpmpVsOE5rpgriI9dhKv3gF4ivtBLyRmYFz8j2nYt61RehwQ Now I'll create a comprehensive skill for MiniMax video generation. Let me set up the skill structure with scripts and documentation. Now let me test the script for syntax errors.

Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the ai-agent-pipeline-launch template.

UITypingReveal

Text appears character by character in a chat input field, simulating real-time typing, followed by a message send animation.

+ Code construction recipe

Use `interpolate` to animate `opacity` and `width` of a cursor element. For text, use `split` to break text into characters and `map` over them, applying a delayed `opacity` and `transform` (e.g., `translateY`) based on character index and `spring` for a subtle bounce.

GlitchProgressBar

A progress bar fills with a distinct glitching effect, accompanied by a text overlay that also exhibits a subtle glitch or pixelation.

+ Code construction recipe

Implement a `LinearGradient` for the progress bar fill, animating its `width` using `interpolate`. Apply an SVG `filter` with `feTurbulence` and `feDisplacementMap` for the glitch effect, animating the `baseFrequency` or `scale` over time. Text can use a `text-shadow` with multiple offsets and colors, animating their `opacity` or `position` for a pixelated glitch.

ExtremeMotionBlurTransition

A scene transition where the current visual blurs intensely and stretches horizontally, creating a streaky, high-speed effect before resolving into the next scene.

+ Code construction recipe

Utilize a `canvas` or `SVG filter` with `feGaussianBlur` and `feOffset` to create the blur and stretch. Animate the `stdDeviation` of the blur and the `dx` (horizontal offset) of the offset filter using `spring` or `interpolate` with an aggressive easing curve (e.g., `easeOutCubic`) to achieve the rapid, streaky effect.
