Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the ai-design-tool-launch template.

TypewriterTextReveal

Text appears character by character, simulating a typing effect, often with a blinking cursor at the end of the current line. This is used for headlines and prompt inputs.

+ Code construction recipe

Use `interpolate` to animate the `clipPath` or `width` property of a text element from 0 to 100% over a specified duration. A blinking cursor can be achieved with a `spring` animation on its opacity or a simple `loop` with `keyframes`.

UIDynamicReveal

User interface elements (buttons, input fields, generated content cards) slide into view, fade in, or scale up from a smaller size, often with a slight overshoot for a tactile feel.

+ Code construction recipe

Combine `spring` animations for `translateY` or `scale` with `interpolate` for `opacity`. Stagger the start times of these animations for different UI elements to create a cascading effect.

IrisWipeTransition

A circular aperture (stylized eye/iris) expands or contracts, revealing or concealing the next scene. This serves as a distinctive visual motif and scene transition.

+ Code construction recipe

Implement using an SVG circle or a `radial-gradient` CSS property. Animate the `r` (radius) property of the SVG circle or the `circle()` function's size in `radial-gradient` using `interpolate` or `spring` for a smooth, organic expansion/contraction.
