Top-Down Letters

Installation

$ pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @remocn/top-down-letters

Usage

// src/Root.tsx
import { Composition } from "remotion";
import { TopDownLetters } from "@/components/remocn/top-down-letters";

const TopDownLettersScene = () => (
  <TopDownLetters text="Signal" staggerDelay={3} distance={46} />
);

export const RemotionRoot = () => (
  <Composition
    id="TopDownLetters"
    component={TopDownLettersScene}
    durationInFrames={60}
    fps={30}
    width={1280}
    height={720}
  />
);

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 { TopDownLetters } from "@/components/remocn/top-down-letters";
import { Backdrop } from "@/components/remocn/backdrop";

const TopDownLettersScene = () => (
  <Backdrop fill={{ type: "color", value: "#ffffff" }}>
    <TopDownLetters text="Signal" staggerDelay={3} distance={46} />
  </Backdrop>
);

export const RemotionRoot = () => (
  <Composition
    id="TopDownLetters"
    component={TopDownLettersScene}
    durationInFrames={60}
    fps={30}
    width={1280}
    height={720}
  />
);
