Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the founder-ai-product-launch template.
DynamicTextReveal
Text elements appear on screen with a subtle scale-up and fade-in animation, often staggered or grouped for emphasis. They can be positioned over live-action footage or solid backgrounds.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize Remotion's 'spring' or 'interpolate' functions for scale and opacity. Stagger animations using 'delay' or 'sequence' for individual words or lines. Use 'AbsoluteFill' for background video and 'Absolute' for text positioning.
RapidCutMontage
A sequence of very short, high-energy video clips and screen recordings, often accompanied by sound design impacts, to convey a lot of information quickly or build tension.
+ Code construction recipe
Implement 'Sequence' with short 'durationInFrames' for each clip. Use 'Audio' components for sound effects synchronized with cuts. Ensure 'Composition' frame rates are appropriate for fast cuts (e.g., 30fps).
InteractiveUIDemo
Screen recordings of a product interface with animated cursor movements, highlights, and text input, demonstrating features in a clear and engaging way.
+ Code construction recipe
Overlay 'Video' components for screen recordings. Use 'Absolute' positioned 'Image' or 'SVG' for custom cursor animations. Animate 'opacity' and 'scale' for highlight effects on UI elements. Text input can be simulated with 'Sequence' and 'Text' components.
