# Text Animations Summary **Date:** 2025-11-12 **Components Added:** TypewriterText, StaggerText, WavyText **Components Moved:** TrueFocus, DecryptedText, FuzzyText **New Folder:** `text-animations/` --- ## 📁 Folder Reorganization ### New Structure All text animation components are now located in a dedicated folder for better organization: ``` src/chuk_motion/components/text-animations/ ├── TypewriterText/ (NEW) ├── StaggerText/ (NEW) ├── WavyText/ (NEW) ├── TrueFocus/ (MOVED from overlays/) ├── DecryptedText/ (MOVED from overlays/) └── FuzzyText/ (MOVED from overlays/) ``` **Benefits:** - ✅ Clear, discoverable category - ✅ Separates animated text from static overlays - ✅ Easier to find as collection grows - ✅ More intuitive for users --- ## ✨ New Components ### 1. TypewriterText **Location:** `src/chuk_motion/components/text-animations/TypewriterText/` **Description:** Classic typewriter animation with cursor. Characters appear one-by-one as if being typed, with optional blinking cursor. **Inspired by:** [ReactBits Typewriter](https://www.reactbits.dev/text-animations/typewriter) **Features:** - ⌨️ Character-by-character typing - 💡 Optional blinking cursor - ⚡ Configurable typing speed - 📍 Multiple positions and alignments - ✅ 100% design token compliant **Props:** - `text` (required): Text to type out (supports multiline with \n) - `font_size`: xl | 2xl | 3xl | 4xl (default: 3xl) - `font_weight`: normal | medium | semibold | bold (default: medium) - `text_color`: Override text color - `cursor_color`: Cursor color (default: text color) - `show_cursor`: Show blinking cursor (default: true) - `type_speed`: Characters per second (default: 2.0) - `position`: center | top | bottom | left (default: center) - `align`: left | center | right (default: left) **Usage Example:** ```python remotion_add_typewriter_text( text="Hello, World!", type_speed=3.0, show_cursor=True, position="center" ) ``` **Use Cases:** - Code demonstrations - Dialogue and captions - Storytelling sequences - Terminal/CLI effects - Step-by-step instructions --- ### 2. StaggerText **Location:** `src/chuk_motion/components/text-animations/StaggerText/` **Description:** Staggered reveal animation where characters or words appear one-by-one with smooth spring physics for professional appearance. **Inspired by:** [ReactBits Stagger](https://www.reactbits.dev/text-animations/stagger) **Features:** - 📊 Character or word-based stagger - 🌊 Spring physics for smooth motion - 🎭 Multiple animation types (fade, slide, scale) - 🎯 Precise delay control - ✅ 100% design token compliant **Props:** - `text` (required): Text to animate - `font_size`: xl | 2xl | 3xl | 4xl (default: 3xl) - `font_weight`: normal | medium | semibold | bold | extrabold | black (default: bold) - `text_color`: Override text color - `stagger_by`: char | word (default: char) - `stagger_delay`: Delay in frames between units (default: 2.0) - `animation_type`: fade | slide-up | slide-down | scale (default: fade) - `position`: center | top | bottom (default: center) - `align`: left | center | right (default: center) **Usage Example:** ```python remotion_add_stagger_text( text="WELCOME", stagger_by="char", stagger_delay=2.0, animation_type="slide-up" ) ``` **Use Cases:** - Title reveals - Bullet point lists - Professional presentations - Step-by-step reveals - Impact statements --- ### 3. WavyText **Location:** `src/chuk_motion/components/text-animations/WavyText/` **Description:** Continuous wave motion animation on characters. Each character oscillates vertically with a phase offset to create a wave effect. **Inspired by:** [ReactBits Wavy Text](https://www.reactbits.dev/text-animations/wavy-text) **Features:** - 🌊 Continuous wave motion - 🎛️ Configurable amplitude, speed, frequency - 🎨 Smooth sine wave oscillation - 🎯 Precise wave control - ✅ 100% design token compliant **Props:** - `text` (required): Text to animate with wave - `font_size`: xl | 2xl | 3xl | 4xl (default: 4xl) - `font_weight`: normal | medium | semibold | bold | extrabold | black (default: bold) - `text_color`: Override text color - `wave_amplitude`: Height of wave oscillation in pixels (default: 20.0) - `wave_speed`: Speed of wave motion (default: 1.0) - `wave_frequency`: Frequency of wave (spacing between peaks) (default: 0.3) - `position`: center | top | bottom (default: center) - `align`: left | center | right (default: center) **Usage Example:** ```python remotion_add_wavy_text( text="MUSIC", wave_amplitude=25.0, wave_speed=1.5, wave_frequency=0.3 ) ``` **Use Cases:** - Fun titles - Music videos - Creative content - Playful effects - Party/celebration themes --- ## 📦 Existing Components (Moved) ### 4.
