# Showcase reel
URL: https://remocn.dev/docs/guides/showcase-reel

A fast ~30-second reel where every item in a collection gets its own beat — the one we shipped the typography wave with

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](/docs/guides/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](/docs/guides/words-on-screen) is the cheat sheet.

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."
