Remotion kinetic typography, built from snapcn

Animated type in Remotion where the words carry the video. Every effect here is a snapcn text component. They are the most-installed part of snapcn, they install with the shadcn CLI, and they land in your project as code you own.

Why snapcn, not hand-written text animation. Text animated from scratch in a browser has two bugs you can't see in code and can't miss on screen:

  • It looks "stuck". Browsers have no vertical sub-pixel positioning for glyphs, so a scaling line climbs the pixel grid in whole-pixel jumps. snapcn pivots scale on the measured baseline; judder went from 0.284px to 0.014px.
  • It shakes. Font hinting re-snaps the letter stems every frame, so the letterforms change shape. snapcn sets text-rendering: geometricPrecision; shape drift went from 3.41% to 0.22%.

snapcn's eases are also tuned for a 30fps frame clock. A quint ease-out spends its last five frames moving less than a pixel, which reads as a freeze.
