Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the ai-product-launch-founder-reveal template.

GlowTextReveal

Text appears with a subtle, ethereal glow that fades in, often accompanied by a slight scale or position shift. This creates a modern, high-tech feel.

+ Code construction recipe

Use Remotion's `interpolate` function for `opacity`, `scale`, and `text-shadow` (or a custom glow filter). Apply a `spring` animation for a subtle bounce on scale/position. Utilize `linear-gradient` or `radial-gradient` for the glow color.

RadialButtonCarousel

Multiple rounded rectangular buttons, each containing text, are arranged in a curved or radial pattern, animating into view and sometimes highlighting a central element.

+ Code construction recipe

Implement using `map` over an array of button data. Position elements using `transform: rotate()` and `transform: translateY()` to create the radial layout. Animate `opacity` and `transform` properties with `spring` for a dynamic entrance. Highlight the central element by changing its `background-color` and `box-shadow`.

ProductRotateReveal

A 3D product model smoothly rotates to showcase different angles, features, or color variations, often with accompanying text appearing alongside.

+ Code construction recipe

Utilize a 3D library (e.g., `three.js` integrated with Remotion Canvas or a CSS 3D transform on an SVG/image sequence). Animate `rotation` properties (e.g., `rotateY`) with `spring` or `ease-in-out` interpolation. Text overlays should animate in sync with the product's rotation using `opacity` and `transform`.
