Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the saas-workflow-step-explainer template.
ErrorBadgePop
Pops red error pill tags onto UI with slight rotation and spring bounce.
+ Code construction recipe
Use spring() driving scale and interpolate() for rotation offsets triggered on staggered frames.
StepCounterTransition
Slides step index numerals vertically while blurring out old text.
+ Code construction recipe
Wrap index numbers in an overflow-hidden container with translate-y interpolations tied to scene frame triggers.
MindMapNodeConnector
Draws SVG bezier curves between feature cards accompanied by card scale-ins.
+ Code construction recipe
Animate strokeDashoffset from path length to 0 using Easing.out(Easing.cubic).
