Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the before-after-feature-reveal template.
UIInteractionHighlight
A subtle, quick highlight or outline appears around a UI element (like a button or a drawn shape) to indicate user interaction, often accompanied by a cursor animation.
+ Code construction recipe
Use `spring` for opacity and scale changes on a border or background layer. Animate `cursor` position with `interpolate` and `bezier` curves for natural movement.
HandDrawnStrokeReveal
Numbers or shapes appear on the canvas as if being drawn by hand, with a slight wobble or imperfection, mimicking a real-time drawing process.
+ Code construction recipe
Employ `SVG path drawing` animations using `stroke-dasharray` and `stroke-dashoffset` properties. Add `perlin noise` or `wiggle` effects to path points for a hand-drawn feel.
ContextualKeypressOverlay
A keyboard shortcut (e.g., '⌘ Z') appears briefly near the center of the screen, often with a subtle bounce or fade-in, to indicate a keyboard action.
+ Code construction recipe
Render a `text component` with `opacity` and `scale` animated using `spring` or `cubic-bezier` for a quick pop-in and fade-out. Position dynamically based on context.

Objective
Demonstrate a new 'Smart Grouping' feature in a project management tool that automatically organizes tasks.How the recipe adapts
The 'Before' section would show a user manually dragging and dropping tasks into groups, with a red question mark appearing over a messy task list. The 'After' section would show the user clicking a 'Smart Group' button, and tasks automatically animating into organized categories, with a green exclamation mark signifying efficiency. Hand-drawn circles could highlight the manual effort versus the automated result.Remix blueprint · before-after-feature-reveal
