Remotion product demo, built from snapcn

使用 snapcn 构建 Remotion 产品演示

Turn a real screen recording into a 20–45s product demo in Remotion. The shots come from snapcn: Remotion components for the parts of a demo that take longest to hand-animate (camera push-ins on a recording, a cursor that clicks, a device frame, a terminal that types, an AI prompt that sends). They install with the shadcn CLI and land in your project as code you own.
Why snapcn, not hand-written animation. Hand-rolled demo motion is where AI-made videos give themselves away: a cursor that slides at constant speed, a zoom that eases forever, a terminal that prints everything at once. snapcn components are tuned frame by frame against real product demos. Your job is to pick them and fill in the props.
在 Remotion 中将真实屏幕录制转换为 20–45 秒的产品演示。各个 shot 来自 snapcn:它提供 Remotion components,专门处理产品演示中最耗时、最难手工制作动画的部分(录制画面的 camera push-in、会点击的 cursor、device frame、会输入文字的 terminal、会发送的 AI prompt)。这些 components 可通过 shadcn CLI 安装,并以你拥有的代码形式加入项目。
为什么选择 snapcn,而不是手写动画。 手写的 demo motion 正是 AI 生成视频容易露馅的地方:cursor 以恒定速度滑动、zoom 不停地做缓动、terminal 一次性打印全部内容。snapcn components 已针对真实产品演示逐帧调校。你的工作只是选择组件并填写 props。

The snapcn rule

snapcn 规则

  1. Every beat is a snapcn component unless none fits. Before you write any
    interpolate()
    or
    spring()
    for a shot, check
    https://snapcn.dev/llms-components.txt?ref=skill-demo
    (every installable component, what it's for, how many frames it runs). Any component page serves markdown with
    .md
    appended, e.g.
    https://snapcn.dev/docs/screens/screen-recording.md?ref=skill-demo
    .
  2. Never invent a component name.
    @snapcn/<name>
    resolves only for names in that list. If nothing fits, say so.
  3. Fill props, don't rewrite the component. Copy, colours, recordings and cursor paths go in through props.
For the full catalogue and composition rules, also install the umbrella skill:
npx skills add snapcndev/snapcn --skill snapcn
.
  1. 除非没有适用组件,否则每个 beat 都必须采用 snapcn component。 在开始为某个 shot 编写任何
    interpolate()
    或
    spring()
    之前,先查看
    https://snapcn.dev/llms-components.txt?ref=skill-demo
    (其中列出了所有可安装组件、用途以及运行所需的 frames)。任何组件页面都提供 markdown,只需在 URL 后追加
    .md
    ,例如:
    https://snapcn.dev/docs/screens/screen-recording.md?ref=skill-demo
    。
  2. 绝不编造组件名称。
    @snapcn/<name>
    只能解析该列表中的名称。如果没有适用组件,请直接说明。
  3. 填写 props,不要重写组件。 文案、颜色、recordings 和 cursor paths 均通过 props 传入。
如需完整目录和 composition 规则,还应安装 umbrella skill:
npx skills add snapcndev/snapcn --skill snapcn
。

The recording is the source of truth

recording 是 source of truth

  • Use the real recording or screenshot as the plate. Animate the camera over it (
    screen-recording
    's
    camera
    moves) instead of rebuilding the UI in JSX. Rebuild one element only when it has to move on its own.
  • Never invent UI labels, numbers or features. Every string on screen comes from the real product. Invented labels are the most common reason demos feel fake.
  • No recording? Ask for one or for screenshots. Don't draw a fake dashboard.
  • 将真实 recording 或 screenshot 作为底板(plate)。 通过
    screen-recording
    的
    camera
    moves 为其添加 camera 动画,而不是用 JSX 重建 UI。只有当某个元素需要独立运动时,才重建该元素。
  • 绝不编造 UI labels、数字或功能。 屏幕上的每一条字符串都应来自真实产品。编造的 labels 是 demo 显得虚假的最常见原因。
  • 没有 recording? 请用户提供 recording 或 screenshots。不要绘制虚假的 dashboard。

Prerequisites

前置条件

  • A Remotion project (
    npx create-video@latest
    ). Canvas 1280×720 at 30fps.

    if there is no
    components.json
    ).
  • npm i @remotion/transitions
    .
  • The recording in
    public/
    (e.g.
    public/recording.mp4
    ), loaded with
    staticFile()
    .
  • 一个 Remotion project(

Workflow

工作流

1. Find the one moment

1. 找到那个关键时刻

Watch the recording and name the one action only this product does: the click that matters. That moment gets the camera push and the most screen time. Everything else in the demo sets it up.
观看 recording,找出只有该 product 才有的那一项 action:那个真正重要的 click。该时刻获得 camera push,并占据最多的 screen time。demo 中的其他所有内容都用于为它铺垫。

2. Storyboard, one snapcn component per beat

2. Storyboard:每个 beat 对应一个 snapcn component

How to aim the shots:
  • cursor-track
    paths
    are fractions of the frame (
    x
    ,
    y
    from 0 to 1).
    at
    is the frame the cursor starts towards that point;
    click: true
    fires the click ring on arrival. Put each click exactly on the real button in the recording.
  • screen-recording
    camera moves
    (
    { at, duration, zoom, x, y }
    ) ease to a pose and hold until the next move. Push in (
    zoom: 1.4–1.8
    ) on the one action; pull back (
    zoom: 1
    ) after it lands.
  • Crop the browser chrome with
    crop={{ top: 0.11 }}
    when the recording includes it.
  • terminal-simulator
    lines
    are
    { text, type }
    with
    type
    of
    command
    ,
    log
    ,
    success
    or
    error
    . Paste real output, shortened.

以
durationInFrames={872}
注册它(各 sequence 的帧数总和减去 4 × 12 帧),并设置
fps={30}
、
width={1280}
、
height={720}
。
如何对准各个 shot:
  • cursor-track
    paths 使用画面比例坐标
    (
    x
    、
    y
    的范围为 0 到 1)。
    at
    表示 cursor 开始朝该点移动的 frame;
    click: true
    会在到达时触发 click ring。将每次 click 精确放在 recording 中的真实按钮上。
  • screen-recording
    camera moves
    (
    { at, duration, zoom, x, y }
    )会缓动至指定 pose,并保持到下一次移动。对关键操作执行 push in(
    zoom: 1.4–1.8
    );操作完成后 pull back(
    zoom: 1
    )。
  • recording 包含浏览器 chrome 时,使用
    crop={{ top: 0.11 }}
    裁剪掉它。
  • terminal-simulator
    lines
    的格式为
    { text, type }
    ,其中
    type
    可取
    command
    、
    log
    、
    success
    或
    error
    。粘贴真实输出时,可以适当缩短。

5. Render-audit

5. Render-audit

bash
npx remotion still ProductDemo out/click.png --frame=460
npx remotion render ProductDemo out/demo.mp4 --codec=h264 --crf=18
Render a still at the midpoint of each beat and just before and after every cut, then check:
  • Each click lands on the real button, not beside it.
  • Text in the recording is readable at 720p after the push-in. If not, push in further or crop tighter.
  • No black frame at a cut, and nothing shown before its scene starts.
bash
npx remotion still ProductDemo out/click.png --frame=460
npx remotion render ProductDemo out/demo.mp4 --codec=h264 --crf=18
在每个 beat 的中点,以及每次 cut 的紧前和紧后各 render 一张 still,然后检查:
  • 每次 click 都落在真实按钮上,而不是按钮旁边。
  • push in 后,在 720p 下 recording 中的文字仍然清晰可读。如果不够清晰,请进一步 push in 或 crop 得更紧。
  • cut 处没有 black frame,场景开始前也不会提前显示任何内容。

6. Ship

6. 发布

Render one composition per aspect ratio: 16:9 for X and LinkedIn, 9:16 (use
phone-frame
) for Reels, Shorts and TikTok.
--scale=1.5
turns the 1280×720 master into 1920×1080.
为每种 aspect ratio render 一个 composition:X 和 LinkedIn 使用 16:9;Reels、Shorts 和 TikTok 使用 9:16(使用
phone-frame
)。
--scale=1.5
可将 1280×720 master 转换为 1920×1080。
