UI-Driven Product Showcase & Adaptive Motion Graphics

Adapt it.

Replace 'Wondering' branding with 'FlowState' branding and logo.
Update all on-screen text to reflect FlowState's features and benefits (e.g., 'Achieve Deep Focus', 'Smart Task Prioritization').
Design new UI mockups for FlowState that align with the existing clean, minimalist aesthetic (e.g., a task list, a focus timer, a progress chart).
Adjust the color palette to match FlowState's brand guidelines while maintaining the soft gradient background style.
Ensure all text and UI animations use the TextFadeScale, UIHighlightArrow, and DynamicContentReveal primitives for consistent motion language.
Synchronize new spoken dialogue or sound design elements with the visual transitions and reveals.

Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the wondering-ai-course-launch template.

TextFadeScale

Text appears with a subtle fade-in and slight scale-up effect, often synchronized with audio beats or scene transitions. It creates a gentle yet impactful reveal.

+ Code construction recipe

Use `interpolate` for `opacity` from 0 to 1 and `scale` from 0.95 to 1.05 over a short duration (e.g., 10-15 frames), applying an `easeOutCubic` or `easeOutQuint` easing function.

UIHighlightArrow

Specific UI elements are highlighted with a subtle glow or color change, accompanied by a curved arrow and explanatory text animating into view. This draws attention to key features.

+ Code construction recipe

Implement `interpolate` for `opacity` and `transform` (translate/rotate) for the arrow and text. Use SVG paths for the curved arrow, animating `stroke-dashoffset` for a drawing effect. Highlight UI elements with `background-color` or `box-shadow` transitions.

DynamicContentReveal

Complex UI components, such as a calendar schedule or a lesson list, animate into the scene, often with individual sub-elements appearing sequentially or with staggered delays.

+ Code construction recipe

Utilize `Sequence` and `AbsoluteFill` components. Animate individual list items or schedule blocks using `spring` for `y` position and `opacity`, with `delay` props to create a staggered entrance effect.
