Shared Axis Y
Per-word hard-cut staircase transition for sharp editorial phrase swaps
Installation
$ pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @remocn/shared-axis-yUsage
// src/Root.tsx
import { Composition, Sequence } from "remotion";
import { SharedAxisY } from "@/components/remocn/shared-axis-y";
const SharedAxisYScene = () => (
<>
<Sequence durationInFrames={40}>
<SharedAxisY fromText="Layered navigation." toText="Hierarchy made clear." />
</Sequence>
<Sequence from={40} durationInFrames={40}>
<SharedAxisY fromText="Hierarchy made clear." toText="Depth with restraint." />
</Sequence>
</>
);
export const RemotionRoot = () => (
<Composition
id="SharedAxisY"
component={SharedAxisYScene}
durationInFrames={80}
fps={30}
width={1280}
height={720}
/>
);Each word in the outgoing phrase snaps off in a hard cut, then the incoming phrase's words snap on in a staircase pattern—no fade or motion, just a sharp editorial swap. Chaining two instances in back-to-back Sequences walks through a full phrase chain—the second transition reuses the first's toText as its fromText, so the text flows A → B → C.
Chained example
This is the two-Sequence chain above rendered on an 80-frame timeline:
With Backdrop
The component renders transparent — supply the background via Backdrop. It ships single-theme; edit the copied file to re-theme colors.
Pair with Backdrop to place the text inside a full-frame fill with a rounded, shadowed content frame:
import { Composition } from "remotion";
import { SharedAxisY } from "@/components/remocn/shared-axis-y";
import { Backdrop } from "@/components/remocn/backdrop";
const SharedAxisYScene = () => (
<Backdrop fill={{ type: "color", value: "#ffffff" }}>
<SharedAxisY
fromText="Layered navigation."
toText="Hierarchy made clear."
/>
</Backdrop>
);
export const RemotionRoot = () => (
<Composition
id="SharedAxisY"
component={SharedAxisYScene}
durationInFrames={90}
fps={30}
width={1280}
height={720}
/>
