Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the mac-productivity-showcase template.
RadialDataExplosion
A circular, multi-layered chart animates to reveal data distribution, with segments expanding and contracting to represent file sizes and categories. A central value updates dynamically.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize Remotion's <AbsoluteFill> and <Path> components for SVG-based arcs. Animate 'stroke-dasharray' and 'stroke-dashoffset' for segment growth, and 'transform: scale' for overall chart expansion. Use 'interpolate' for smooth value transitions in the central text.
FluidListScroll
A long list of files or items scrolls smoothly and rapidly, with individual items highlighting on hover or selection, and details panels sliding in from the side.
+ Code construction recipe
Implement with Remotion's 'scrollPosition' and 'useCurrentFrame' to control the vertical offset of a list of <Text> or <View> components. Use 'spring' for natural-feeling hover/selection animations and 'translateX' for detail panel entry/exit.
ProgressiveScanBar
A horizontal progress bar animates across the screen, often accompanied by a numerical counter or textual description of the scanning process, indicating ongoing operations.
+ Code construction recipe
Create a <View> for the progress bar background and another for the fill. Animate the 'width' property of the fill <View> using 'interpolate' from 0 to 100%. Update accompanying text with 'useCurrentFrame' and 'interpolate' for numerical counts.

Objective
Showcase 'TaskFlow', a new project management app for macOS, highlighting its intuitive task creation, team collaboration, and progress tracking features.How the recipe adapts
The RadialDataExplosion primitive would adapt to visualize project progress or team workload distribution. FluidListScroll would be used for rapid task list navigation and reordering. ProgressiveScanBar would become a 'ProgressiveSyncBar' for data synchronization or project completion percentages. The overall pacing would remain calm and informative, focusing on the app's efficiency in managing complex projects.Remix blueprint · mac-productivity-showcase
