Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the data-driven-grid-reveal template.
GridExpansionReveal
A dense grid of diverse app icons rapidly expands from a central point or zooms out to fill the screen, often accompanied by a data counter updating in the corner.
+ Code construction recipe
Use a `Grid` component with `map` to render `Image` or `SVG` icons. Animate `scale` and `opacity` for the grid container using `interpolate` with an `easeOutCubic` curve. Implement a `spring` animation for the data counter's numerical value.
GlitchTextWipe
Text appears or transitions with a digital glitch effect, often involving color shifts, pixelation, or rapid character displacement, sometimes combined with a screen wipe.
+ Code construction recipe
Apply `SVG filters` for chromatic aberration and pixelation. Animate `transform` properties (e.g., `translateX`, `skewX`) and `opacity` for individual characters or words using `interpolate` with `random` offsets and `steps` timing functions. Combine with a `ClipPath` animation for the wipe effect.
DynamicNumberCounter
Large, prominent numbers rapidly count up or down, often with a subtle bounce or spring effect, sometimes accompanied by a background color change or overlay.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize `spring` for the numerical value, ensuring a smooth, natural count-up. Apply `Text` components with `fontWeight` and `fontSize` animations. Coordinate with `interpolate` for `backgroundColor` or `overlayOpacity` changes on the parent container.

Objective
Launch a new AI-powered analytics platform called 'InsightFlow' that integrates with various data sources to provide real-time business intelligence.How the recipe adapts
The GridExpansionReveal primitive would display a grid of data source logos (e.g., Salesforce, Google Analytics, Stripe) instead of app icons, expanding to show the platform's vast integration capabilities. The DynamicNumberCounter would track 'Processed Data Points' or 'Active Integrations' in real-time. GlitchTextWipe would introduce key features like 'Predictive Modeling' or 'Automated Reporting' with a digital, high-tech feel. The color palette would shift to a cool blue and green scheme, maintaining the dark background for contrast. The overall pacing and electronic score would remain, emphasizing the speed and power of the AI analytics.Remix blueprint · data-driven-grid-reveal
