Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the founder-app-split-reveal template.
SplitScreenAppReveal
A full-screen shot of the founder smoothly transitions into a split-screen layout, revealing a mobile app UI on one side. The app UI then animates to showcase key features.
+ Code construction recipe
Use Remotion's `AbsoluteFill` for the founder video, then animate a `View` component with `width` and `x` properties to slide in the app UI. Use `interpolate` for smooth transitions and `spring` for app element pop-ins.
DynamicUIOverlay
Text overlays and UI elements (like notifications or map pins) dynamically appear, animate, and disappear over a static or subtly moving mobile app screen.
+ Code construction recipe
Employ `Sequence` and `AbsoluteFill` for precise timing. Use `spring` for bounce/scale animations on text and UI cards. SVG paths can be animated for map routes, and `Opacity` for fade-ins/outs.
TextPopIn
On-screen text appears word-by-word or line-by-line with a subtle scale-up and fade-in effect, often synchronized with spoken dialogue.
+ Code construction recipe
Wrap each word/line in a `Text` component. Use `interpolate` on `scale` and `opacity` properties, with a slight delay for each subsequent word/line to create a staggered effect.

Objective
Launch a new AI-powered project management app called 'TaskFlow AI' that automates task delegation and progress tracking.How the recipe adapts
The SplitScreenAppReveal primitive would show the founder explaining a project management challenge, then transition to TaskFlow AI's dashboard. DynamicUIOverlay would animate task cards moving between 'To Do' and 'Done' columns, and AI-generated suggestions popping up. TextPopIn would highlight key features like 'Automated Delegation' and 'Smart Deadlines'. The color palette would shift to blues and grays, maintaining the clean aesthetic. The founder's dialogue would focus on time-saving and efficiency, with UI animations demonstrating these benefits.Remix blueprint · founder-app-split-reveal
