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

ContextualDocumentReveal

Multiple document previews or UI elements slide into view from various directions, often with a slight delay, creating a layered and organized reveal. Text content within these elements may fade or type in.

+ Code construction recipe

Utilize `spring()` for smooth entry animations (x, y, opacity, scale). Implement `Sequence` and `AbsoluteFill` for precise timing and layering. Text can use `interpolate()` for character-by-character opacity or `typewriter()` effect.

IntelligentUIScroll

A UI element, such as a search bar or a dashboard, remains static while its content scrolls vertically or horizontally, revealing new information or interactions. This often includes typing animations or data population.

+ Code construction recipe

Employ `useCurrentFrame()` and `interpolate()` to control the `translateY` or `translateX` property of a content container. Typing animations can be achieved with `split()` and `map()` over characters with delayed opacity/scale.

DynamicTextHighlight

Key phrases or data points within a block of text or a table are highlighted or animated to draw attention, often with a color change, underline, or subtle glow effect.

+ Code construction recipe

Wrap target text segments in `<span>` elements. Use `interpolate()` to animate `color`, `background-color`, or `text-shadow` properties. Can also use `spring()` for a subtle scale or opacity pulse on highlight.
