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

ScrollingFeatureList

A list of features (bot names with icons) scrolls vertically, with items fading in from the bottom and fading out at the top, creating a continuous loop.

+ Code construction recipe

Use a Remotion Sequence for each list item. Animate 'opacity' and 'translateY' properties using 'interpolate' with 'extrapolate: clamp' for smooth transitions. Loop the sequence using 'loop' prop or by calculating 'frame' offsets.

IconTextReveal

A central icon appears, followed by text sliding in from the right, word by word, next to the icon.

+ Code construction recipe

Implement a Remotion Sequence. For the icon, use 'spring' for a bouncy entrance. For text, use 'interpolate' on 'translateX' and 'opacity' for each word, staggering their start times.

ContextualIconPop

An existing icon remains, and a new, related icon quickly appears next to it, suggesting a connection or additional meaning.

+ Code construction recipe

Utilize a Remotion Sequence. The new icon's 'scale' and 'opacity' properties should be animated using a 'spring' function for a quick, impactful pop-in effect.
