Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the stealth-silicon-hardware-reveal template.
GlitchTerminalOverlay
Fixed monospaced spec lines flicker and resolve across center screen with digital scan lines.
+ Code construction recipe
Animate text opacity and slice offsets using frame-driven pseudo-random noise across Remotion interpolate sequences.
ThermalHeatMapShader
Infrared spectral ramp shifting from turquoise cooling channels to hot yellow silicon core.
+ Code construction recipe
Apply SVG feColorMatrix displacement filters mapped to luminance gradient textures driven by spring loops.
MonolithEdgeTracer
Fine linear specular glint tracking across 3D chamfered geometry in high-contrast darkness.
+ Code construction recipe
Linear gradient mask sliding along angled container borders using spring easing on transform translate.
