Active Pop
The word being spoken turns to the accent colour and springs up in scale, then settles back as the voice moves on
Installation
$ pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @remocn/caption-active-popUsage
CaptionActivePop shows the whole page in the base colour. The word being
spoken switches to activeColor and springs up to popScale, then eases back
down and returns to the base colour once the next word takes over. The scale is
a transform, so the neighbouring words never shift.
It renders only the text block, so place it inside your own AbsoluteFill. See
Positioning for safe placements

);Props
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
captions | Caption[] | — | The timed transcript, in the `Caption` shape from `@remotion/captions`. Times are relative to the start of the surrounding `Sequence`. |
combineTokensWithinMilliseconds | number | 1200 | How much speech one page may span before the next word starts a new page. Pages also break at the end of a sentence and on any pause of at least `holdMs` (300 ms minimum). |
holdMs | number | 600 | How long a page stays after its last word when the next page is not already due. It fades out at the end of the hold instead of hanging through the pause. |
fontSize | number | 64 | Font size in pixels. |
fontWeight | number | 800 | Font weight. The font itself is inherited. |
color | string | "#ffffff" | Colour of every word that is not being spoken. |
activeColor | string | "#facc15" | Colour of the word being spoken. |
popScale | number | 1.12 | How large the spoken word grows. Keep it modest — past about 1.25 the word starts to crowd its neighbours. |
shadow | boolean | true | A tight text shadow that keeps the caption legible over bright footage. |
className | string | — | Classes for the text block — width, font family, `uppercase`. |
