Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the supercmd-fast-cut-launch template.
HighlightWordFade
Specific words within a sentence animate by changing color (e.g., from white to green) and slightly scaling up, drawing attention to key terms as they are spoken.
+ Code construction recipe
Use Remotion's <Text> component. Split the text into an array of words. For each word, conditionally apply a style change (color, scale) based on its index and the current frame, using `interpolate` for smooth transitions. Utilize `spring` for the scale animation.
RapidCutTextOverlay
Short, punchy text overlays appear and disappear quickly over rapidly cutting video scenes, often emphasizing a single phrase or word.
+ Code construction recipe
Employ Remotion's `Sequence` and `AbsoluteFill` components. Each text overlay is a separate `Sequence` with a short duration. Use `spring` for a quick fade-in and fade-out animation for the text, synchronized with scene cuts.
ProductUIShowcase
Screen recordings of the product UI are presented with subtle camera movements (zooms, pans) and animated UI elements, simulating user interaction and highlighting features.
+ Code construction recipe
Render screen recordings as video assets. Overlay animated UI elements (e.g., dropdowns, text input) using `AbsoluteFill` and `interpolate` for position and opacity. Implement camera zooms and pans by animating the `scale` and `translate` CSS properties of the video container.
