🔧 Core Adaptation Patterns

Frame-Based Animation

Replace all time-driven animations with useCurrentFrame():

import { useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig, interpolate, Easing } from 'remotion';

// Before: time accumulation
// After: deterministic from frame
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const progress = interpolate(frame, [0, 30], [0, 1], {
  easing: Easing.out(Easing.cubic),
  extrapolateLeft: 'clamp',
  extrapolateRight: 'clamp',
});

Seeded Randomness

Ensure deterministic rendering:

function seededRandom(seed: number): number {
  const x = Math.sin(seed) * 10000;
  return x - Math.floor(x);
}

const rand = seededRandom(frame * 1000 + index);

Shader Uniforms

For WebGL/OGL components:

// Time uniform
uniforms.iTime.value = frame / fps;

// Scripted mouse path (optional)
uniforms.iMouse.value.set(
  0.5 + 0.3 * Math.sin(frame / fps),
  0.5 + 0.2 * Math.cos(frame / fps * 0.7)
);

⚠️ Style Consistency Guidelines

DO:

• ✅ Mix Elegant + Luxury styles (BlurText + ShinyText + Silk)
• ✅ Mix Modern + Retro styles (GlitchText + LetterGlitch)
• ✅ Use Noise overlay on ANY scene
• ✅ Keep backgrounds subtle when text is prominent

DON'T:

• ❌ Mix Elegant + Retro (BlurText + PixelTransition)
• ❌ Mix Luxury + Glitch (ShinyText + GlitchText)
• ❌ Use Lightning with complex text animations
• ❌ Use more than 2 background effects simultaneously

❌ Removed Components

Why these were removed:

• Low aesthetic value: SplitText, FadeContent, AnimatedContent
• Style overlap: ElectricBorder (covered by GlitchText), Orb (covered by Iridescence)
• Outdated aesthetics: Hyperspeed, Cubes, Squares
• Narrow use cases: CircularText, RotatingText, TrueFocus
• Functional > Aesthetic: Counter, Stepper, Carousel (UI components)
