Blur In

Each word resolves out of a soft blur the moment it is spoken, for captions that arrive quietly

Installation
$ pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @remocn/caption-blur-in

Usage

CaptionBlurIn takes a timed transcript and renders only the text block, so place it inside your own AbsoluteFill. Every word stays hidden until its own start time, then resolves from a blur into sharp focus while it fades up. The space for the whole phrase is reserved from the first word, so the line never reflows as it builds. See Positioning for safe placements and Get a transcript for producing captions.json.

import { AbsoluteFill } from "remotion";
import { CaptionBlurIn } from "@/components/remocn/caption-blur-in";
import captions from "./captions.json";
 
export const MyScene = () => (
  <AbsoluteFill
    style={{
      justifyContent: "flex-end",
      alignItems: "center",
      paddingBottom: 108,
      paddingInline: 192,
    }}
  >
    <CaptionBlurIn captions={captions} />
  </AbsoluteFill>
);
