Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the polymarket-hype-launch template.

DynamicValueUpdate

Numerical values and percentages animate rapidly, often with a subtle glow or color change, to indicate real-time updates or gains.

+ Code construction recipe

Use `interpolate` for number transitions, `spring` for subtle bounce on appearance, and `SVG filters` for glow effects on value changes. Implement `useCurrentFrame` to drive the animation of the numbers.

InteractiveUIClick

A cursor icon moves and clicks on UI elements, triggering state changes and revealing new information or actions within the interface.

+ Code construction recipe

Animate cursor position using `interpolate` along a predefined path. Use `Sequence` to time cursor clicks with UI element state changes (e.g., button highlights, input field updates). Implement `AbsoluteFill` for the UI container.

TextSlideReveal

Text lines slide up from the bottom of the screen or fade in with a quick, impactful motion, often accompanied by a slight scale or blur effect.

+ Code construction recipe

Utilize `spring` for the Y-position animation and `interpolate` for opacity. Apply a temporary `blur` filter during the slide-in for a dynamic feel. Use `AbsoluteFill` for text containers.
