Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the developer-tech-launch-v1 template.
GlitchTextReveal
Text appears with a rapid, pixelated glitch effect, often accompanied by a quick scale or position shift, syncing with an audio impact.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize Remotion's `interpolate` for `opacity`, `x` translation, and a `filter: blur()` or `filter: saturate()` effect. Combine with `spring` for a snappy final position. Implement a `Shader` for pixelation or scanline effects during the glitch.
TerminalTypewriter
Command line text is typed out character by character, followed by a blinking cursor and subsequent output lines appearing with a slight delay.
+ Code construction recipe
Use `Sequence` and `AbsoluteFill` for text layers. Animate `textLength` or `clipPath` for the typing effect. A `loop` animation for the cursor's `opacity` creates the blink. Stagger `delay` for subsequent output lines.
HorizontalWipeTransition
A scene transitions to the next by a rapid horizontal wipe, often with a subtle distortion or pixelation effect at the wipe edge.
+ Code construction recipe
Employ a `LinearGradient` or `maskImage` animated across the screen for the wipe. For distortion, apply a `filter: url(#displacementFilter)` using an SVG `feDisplacementMap` or a custom `Shader` for pixel-level manipulation.

Objective
Launch a new AI-powered code refactoring tool called 'SyntaxFlow'.How the recipe adapts
The 'SyntaxFlow' logo will appear with the GlitchTextReveal primitive, using a vibrant blue accent instead of neon green. The installation process will be shown via the TerminalTypewriter primitive, demonstrating a 'pip install syntaxflow' command. Feature showcases will use animated code snippets transforming with horizontal wipes, highlighting refactoring capabilities and displaying a 'Lines Optimized' counter. The call to action will feature 'Try SyntaxFlow Free' with a link to the documentation, maintaining the dark grid background.Remix blueprint · developer-tech-launch-v1
