Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the minimal-tech-launch template.
ProductOrbitReveal
Multiple product units fan out or arrange themselves in a circular pattern, showcasing different angles or color variations simultaneously. This creates a dynamic, multi-faceted product introduction.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize `Sequence` and `AbsoluteFill` for layering. Animate `transform: rotate` and `transform: translateX/Y` with `spring` or `interpolate` for the fanning/orbiting motion. Use `map` to render multiple instances with varying `delay` and `rotation` values.
KineticFeatureType
Key features are revealed one by one as text, often with a subtle glow or particle effect, appearing and disappearing rapidly to emphasize each point.
+ Code construction recipe
Implement `Sequence` for timed text reveals. Use `interpolate` for `opacity`, `scale`, and `blur` properties. Apply `filter: drop-shadow` for glow effects and potentially a `Canvas` component for custom particle animations behind the text.
MacroDetailZoom
Rapid, extreme close-ups on specific product details (e.g., camera lens, keyboard keys) with quick cuts and shallow depth of field, highlighting craftsmanship.
+ Code construction recipe
Employ `Sequence` with very short `durationInFrames` for fast cuts. Animate `transform: scale` and `transform: translate` for zoom and pan. Control `filter: blur` for depth of field effects, interpolating between sharp and blurred states.

Objective
Launch a new smart thermostat with a circular OLED display and haptic feedback controls.How the recipe adapts
The ProductOrbitReveal primitive would showcase multiple thermostats in different finishes, fanning out to reveal their circular displays. MacroDetailZoom would highlight the haptic feedback mechanism and the precision-machined dial. KineticFeatureType would animate 'Intuitive Control', 'Energy Savings', and 'Seamless Integration' with a similar glowing text effect. The overall pacing would match the original's rapid cuts and electronic score.Remix blueprint · minimal-tech-launch
