Use <Sequence> to delay when an element appears in the timeline.
const Main = () => {
return (
<AbsoluteFill>
<Background />
<AbsoluteFill>
<Sequence name="Title" from={30} durationInFrames={60} layout="none">
<Title />
</Sequence>
<Sequence
name="Subtitle"
from={60}
durationInFrames={60}
layout="none"
>
<Subtitle />
</Sequence>
</AbsoluteFill>
</AbsoluteFill>
);
}
export const Title = () => {
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
return (
<Interactive.Div
name="Label"
style={{
opacity: interpolate(frame, [0, 60], [0, 1], {
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
easing: Easing.bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1),
}),
fontSize: 88
}}
>
Title
</Interactive.Div>
);
};
export const Subtitle = () => {
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
return (
<Interactive.Div
name="Subtitle"
style={{
opacity: interpolate(frame, [0, 60], [0, 1], {
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
easing: Easing.bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1),
}),
fontSize: 32
}}
>
Subtitle
</Interactive.Div>
);
};This will by default wrap the component in an absolute fill element.
If the items should not be wrapped, use the layout prop:
<Sequence layout="none">
<Title />
</Sequence>This loads the component in the timeline before it is actually played.
Always premount any <Sequence>!
<Sequence premountFor={1 * fps}>
<Title />
</Sequence>Use <Series> when elements should play one after another without overlap.
import { Series } from "remotion";
<Series>
<Series.Sequence durationInFrames={45}>
<Intro />
</Series.Sequence>
<Series.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<MainContent />
</Series.Sequence>
<Series.Sequence durationInFrames={30}>
<Outro />
</Series.Sequence>
</Series>;Same as with <Sequence>, the items will be wrapped in an absolute fill element by default when using <Series.Sequence>, unless the layout prop is set to none.
Use negative offset for overlapping sequences:
<Series>
<Series.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneA />
</Series.Sequence>
<Series.Sequence offset={-15} durationInFrames={60}>
{/* Starts 15 frames before SceneA ends */}
<SceneB />
</Series.Sequence>
</Series>Inside a Sequence, useCurrentFrame() returns the local frame (starting from 0):
<Sequence from={60} durationInFrames={30}>
<MyComponent />
{/* Inside MyComponent, useCurrentFrame() returns 0-29, not 60-89 */}
</Sequence>Sequences can be nested for complex timing:
<Sequence from={0} durationInFrames={120}>
<Background />
<Sequence from={15} durationInFrames={90} layout="none">
<Title />
</Sequence>
<Sequence from={45} durationInFrames={60} layout="none">
<Subtitle />
</Sequence>
</Sequence>To add a composition within another composition, you can use the <Sequence> component with a width, height, durationInFrames prop to specify the size of the composition.
This will override the values of useVideoConfig() when calling inside that component.
<AbsoluteFill>
<Sequence width={500} height={500} durationInFrames={100} from={30}>
<CompositionComponent />
</Sequence>
</AbsoluteFill>
