Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the agentic-canvas-fast-cut template.
AgenticCanvasSplit
A split-screen effect where a live web application on one side dynamically transforms into an editable canvas on the other, with UI elements and data points mirroring and becoming interactive.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize `AbsoluteFill` for the background, `Sequence` for timing, and `interpolate` for smooth transitions of `x` and `width` properties for two `AbsoluteFill` components representing the web app and canvas. Implement `spring` animations for individual UI elements within the canvas to simulate agentic generation and manual edits. Use `OffthreadVideo` for the web app capture and `Img` components for canvas elements.
MetallicLogoReveal
A 3D metallic logo (Pencil icon) animates with reflections and subtle rotations, then expands to reveal accompanying text and a tagline.
+ Code construction recipe
Employ `ThreeCanvas` for rendering the 3D model. Use `useCurrentFrame` and `interpolate` for `rotation` and `scale` properties of the 3D object. Apply `MeshStandardMaterial` with `envMap` for realistic metallic reflections. Text reveals can use `spring` for `opacity` and `y` position, with `Gradient` backgrounds for subtle glow effects.
DynamicUITextHighlight
On-screen text and UI elements are highlighted or generated with a distinct color, often accompanied by a 3D cursor interaction, indicating user or agent input.
+ Code construction recipe
Use `AbsoluteFill` with `Text` components. Animate `backgroundColor` and `color` properties using `interpolate` or `spring` for highlight effects. The 3D cursor can be an `Img` component with `x` and `y` positions animated via `interpolate` to follow a path, potentially with a `dropShadow` for depth.

- 1
The Digital Hook
Purpose. Immediately grab attention by showcasing the core interaction: importing a web app into an editable canvas.
Execution. Rapid cuts between a browser URL bar, a 3D cursor clicking an 'Import' button, and a quick flash of the 'Import' text, all building to a sound design impact.
- 2
Agentic Transformation
Purpose. Demonstrate the product's unique selling proposition: AI agents assisting in design and iteration.
Execution. Split-screen showing a live app transforming into a canvas, with multiple AI agents (Opus, GPT Sol, Minimax) dynamically generating and modifying UI elements with distinct color highlights.
- 3
Craft & Code Loop
Purpose. Illustrate the seamless workflow between manual design, agentic assistance, and pushing changes back to code.
Execution. Close-ups of manual UI adjustments, followed by a stylized 3D Pencil logo animation, implying the 'push to code' functionality and the product's identity.
- 4
The Bold Vision
Purpose. Conclude with a powerful brand statement and clear call to action.
Execution. A grand reveal of the Pencil logo and tagline 'Build bold ideas,' followed by the website URL, all synchronized with the final audio impact and fade.

Objective
A launch video for 'Synapse AI,' a collaborative data visualization platform.How the recipe adapts
The video would open with a rapid sequence of different data sources (e.g., 'CSV,' 'API,' 'Database') being 'imported' into a blank canvas. Instead of design agents, AI-driven visualization suggestions (e.g., 'ChartGen,' 'GraphAI') would dynamically populate the canvas with interactive graphs and dashboards, highlighted in cool blues and greens. Manual adjustments would show users refining these visualizations collaboratively. The 3D Pencil logo would be replaced by a stylized 'Synapse' neural network icon, culminating in the tagline 'Visualize your data. Together.' and the Synapse website URL.Remix blueprint · agentic-canvas-fast-cut
