Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the fast-cut-creator-launch template.
FastCutTextReveal
Text appears rapidly, often word-by-word or phrase-by-phrase, with a quick cut to the next visual element. This creates a sense of urgency and quick information delivery.
+ Code construction recipe
Use 'Sequence' component for precise timing of text elements. Animate 'opacity' and 'y-position' with 'spring' or 'tween' for a snappy entrance. Combine with 'AbsoluteFill' for background changes.
DynamicImageCollage
Multiple images, often user-generated content or historical photos, are arranged in a dynamic, overlapping collage. Images may scale, rotate slightly, or slide into view.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize 'AbsoluteFill' for the canvas. Position 'Image' components with 'absolute' styling. Animate 'transform' properties (scale, rotate, translateX/Y) using 'spring' or 'interpolate' for organic movement. Apply 'z-index' for layering.
PixelationTransition
A scene transitions by breaking down into large, abstract pixels or building up from a pixelated state, often accompanied by a sound design impact.
+ Code construction recipe
Implement a 'Canvas' component or SVG filter. Use 'Shader' or 'CustomComponent' to render a grid of squares. Animate the 'size' or 'opacity' of these squares to create the pixelation effect. Synchronize with audio cues using 'useCurrentFrame' and 'interpolate'.
