Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the cyber-botanical-dither template.
DitherSpecimenCard
Displays a centered 1-bit or 2-bit dithered asset inside corner registration reticles with metadata labels.
+ Code construction recipe
Wrap media in an SVG bayer dither filter, render SVG corner crosshairs, and bind metadata indices to current Remotion frame steps.
ProceduralBranchGrow
Simulates organic growth along vector paths with blooming buds and insect overlays.
+ Code construction recipe
Animate SVG stroke-dashoffset across frames while staggering opacity of fruit and flower sprite instances.
GlitchDecodeText
Text transitions from scrambled alphanumeric characters to finalized string.
+ Code construction recipe
Use Math.random character swapping interpolated over 15 frames based on frame count.
