Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the ai-agent-marketing-launch template.

AIAgentThinking

A small, stylized AI agent icon (purple brain on a white face) appears, often accompanied by text indicating a process (e.g., 'Thinking', 'Analyzing'). The icon itself might subtly pulse or have a small animation to convey activity.

+ Code construction recipe

Use a Lottie animation for the AI agent icon, triggered by a state change. Text reveals can be achieved with `spring()` for a bouncy effect or `interpolate()` for a smooth fade-in and slight scale.

DynamicContentCardReveal

Information cards (e.g., 'Products', 'Target Audience') slide in from off-screen or pop into view with a slight bounce, often accompanied by a subtle shadow or glow effect. Content within the cards might animate in sequentially.

+ Code construction recipe

Implement with `spring()` for position and scale, combined with `interpolate()` for opacity. Use `delay()` for sequential content reveals within the card. SVG filters can add glow effects.

GlitchTextReveal

Text appears with a quick, digital glitch or blur effect, often accompanied by a slight horizontal displacement before settling into place. This is used for impactful headlines or transitions.

+ Code construction recipe

Utilize `interpolate()` for `x` position, `opacity`, and a custom `filter` property (e.g., `blur()`, `hue-rotate()`) over a very short duration. Combine with `spring()` for the final settling position.
