Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the perimeter-mosaic-cascade template.
RecursiveGridPopulator
Featured clip shrinks and snaps into an available outer edge slot as the next clip expands into center.
+ Code construction recipe
Map clip list using Remotion spring animations to interpolate layout bounds from center rect to fixed perimeter grid coordinates based on active clip index.
PartnerTagOverlay
Minimal lower-third pill containing partner logo/name, pi symbol, and location.
+ Code construction recipe
Absolute positioned flex container with opacity fade linked to individual clip timeline.
