Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the gradient-tech-launch template.
GradientTextWipe
Text appears with a horizontal wipe effect, revealing characters from left to right, often with a subtle color gradient applied to the revealing edge.
+ Code construction recipe
Use Remotion's <AbsoluteFill> and <Sequence> components. Animate the 'clipPath' or 'maskImage' CSS property with a linear gradient, interpolating its position over time. Apply a 'spring' animation for a smooth, slightly elastic reveal.
StaggeredTerminalReveal
Lines of text or UI elements within a terminal-like interface appear sequentially, simulating a rapid typing or command output effect.
+ Code construction recipe
Render each line of text or UI element as a separate <Sequence> component. Offset the 'from' prop of each <Sequence> by a small duration (e.g., 5-10 frames) to create the staggered effect. Use 'interpolate' for opacity and 'translateY' for a subtle slide-up.
ConnectedCardFlow
Cards or information blocks appear one after another, often connected by lines, illustrating a process or relationship, with supporting text appearing below.
+ Code construction recipe
Each card and connecting line is a <Sequence>. Animate 'opacity' and 'scale' for the cards, and 'strokeDashoffset' for the connecting lines to draw them in. Stagger the 'from' prop of each <Sequence> to create the sequential flow. Use 'spring' for card entry and 'interpolate' for line drawing.

- 1
The Problem & Solution Hook
Purpose. Immediately grab attention by stating a common developer problem (API monetization) and introducing Telos's unique solution.
Execution. Rapid text reveals with gradient highlights, quickly establishing the core value proposition against a clean, modern UI.
- 2
Technical Deep Dive
Purpose. Explain the core technological innovation (machines paying within HTTP flow) with a clear, step-by-step visual demonstration.
Execution. A simulated terminal interface with staggered text reveals, illustrating the API interaction process in a digestible format.
- 3
Benefit & Ecosystem
Purpose. Detail who benefits from the solution and how the different components (developer, agent, facilitator) interact.
Execution. A clean, interconnected flowchart of roles and benefits, with elements appearing sequentially to build understanding.
- 4
Call to Action
Purpose. Direct viewers on how to get started and reiterate the key benefits.
Execution. A clear, concise screen with a prominent call to action URL, supported by reinforcing feature tags.

Objective
Launch a new decentralized AI marketplace called Cognito, highlighting its ease of use for AI agents and developers.How the recipe adapts
The GradientTextWipe primitive would be used for headlines like 'Unlock AI Agent Potential' with Cognito's brand colors. StaggeredTerminalReveal would demonstrate 'Seamless Model Integration' by showing code snippets for deploying an AI model. The ConnectedCardFlow would illustrate 'Fair Compute Monetization' by showing how developers, agents, and compute providers interact, with lines connecting their roles. The overall pacing and sound design cues would be maintained to match the original's high-energy feel.Remix blueprint · gradient-tech-launch
