# Retro
URL: https://remocn.dev/docs/shaders/components/shader-swirl/retro

Swirl preset. Seventies spiral in orange, sand and teal

- Install: `npx shadcn@latest add @remocn/shader-swirl-retro`
- Vibe: playful
- Natural length: 150f @ 30fps

## Installation

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @remocn/shader-swirl-retro
```

Installs [Swirl](/docs/shaders/components/shader-swirl) as a dependency. This file only fixes its look: the preset object at the top holds every value, so edit it in place to make the preset your own.

## Usage

```tsx
// src/Root.tsx
import { Composition } from "remotion";
import { ShaderSwirlRetro } from "@/components/remocn/shader-swirl-retro";

export const RemotionRoot = () => (
  <Composition
    id="ShaderSwirlRetro"
    component={ShaderSwirlRetro}
    durationInFrames={150}
    fps={30}
    width={1280}
    height={720}
  />
);
```

ShaderSwirlRetro takes the same props as `ShaderSwirl`. Props you pass override the preset, except `speed`, which scales the preset's own pace: `speed={2}` is twice as fast as the preset, whatever its base speed.

## Use when
- A seventies-style spiral for a vintage or nostalgic edit.
- The frame is light, so dark foreground text and UI stay readable on top.
- You want a finished Swirl look without tuning the palette and parameters yourself.

## Don't use when
- The video must use your brand colors — start from `shader-swirl` and set `colors`.
- You want a darker, contrasting mood from the same shader — use `shader-swirl-neon`.
