Showcase reel

This is the video we shipped eighteen new text animations with. The trick that carries it: nothing is described — every item gets two seconds of stage and demonstrates itself. If you have a collection — templates, integrations, themes, effects — this recipe turns the list into a reel.

The storyboard

1. The hook — one line on why this collection matters.
2. The number — the count lands big. In ours, "18 new text animations".
3. The reel — the heart of the video: one item per beat, a small counter ticking in a corner while items change, each item named with its own motion. If your items are visual, each one demonstrates itself.
4. The mechanism — one line on the property every item shares.
5. The value — two or three claims stack up.
6. The close — a terminal types your command or link.
7. The lockup — your logo and a closing line.

Your words

• The collection — what the things are, and the count
• Hook line
• The items — six to eighteen names, one or two words each. Fewer than six? Make a Feature announcement instead.
• Mechanism line — the property every item shares
• Two or three value claims
• Command or link
• Closing line

Struggling with the lines? Words on screen is the cheat sheet.

The prompt

I'm making a showcase reel with remocn (remocn.dev).
 
Build a ~30-second, 1920×1080, 30fps reel for <N> new <THINGS> in this
Remotion project, using remocn components — install anything you need with
`npx shadcn add @remocn/<name>`:
 
1. Hook — an animated headline: "<HOOK LINE>".
2. The number — the count lands big: "<N> new <THINGS>".
3. The reel — one beat per item, roughly two seconds each, with a small
   "NN / <N>" counter holding perfectly still in a corner while the items
   change: <ITEM LIST>.
   Vary the motion between items — use remocn's text animations — and where
   an item can demonstrate itself, let it.
4. Mechanism — one calm line: "<MECHANISM LINE>".
5. Value — claims stacking line by line (line-by-line-slide): <CLAIMS>.
6. Close — a terminal line that types itself: `<COMMAND OR LINK>`.
7. Lockup — my logo (<LOGO FILE, or: use the product name as a wordmark>)
   with a closing line: "<CLOSING LINE>".
 
Style: warm dark background (#141318), off-white text, one accent color
<ACCENT COLOR>, Manrope. One quiet shader-simplex-noise field behind the whole
video. Keep the reel snappy — no long holds, effect after effect. Use my copy
exactly as written.

Directing the result

• "The reel drags in the middle — tighten items six through ten."
• "The counter is too prominent — smaller and dimmer."
• "Item four moves like item three — give it a different motion."
• "Hold the number beat a little longer."
