+description: Sequencing patterns for Remotion - delay, trim, limit duration of items
+metadata:
+  tags: sequence, series, timing, delay, trim
+---
+
+Use `<Sequence>` to delay when an element appears in the timeline.
+
+```tsx
+import { Sequence } from "remotion";
+
+const {fps} = useVideoConfig();
+
+<Sequence from={1 * fps} durationInFrames={2 * fps} premountFor={1 * fps}>
+  <Title />
+</Sequence>
+<Sequence from={2 * fps} durationInFrames={2 * fps} premountFor={1 * fps}>
+  <Subtitle />
+</Sequence>
+```
+
+This will by default wrap the component in an absolute fill element.  
+If the items should not be wrapped, use the `layout` prop:
+
+```tsx
+<Sequence layout="none">
+  <Title />
+</Sequence>
+```
+
+## Premounting
+
+This loads the component in the timeline before it is actually played.  
+Always premount any `<Sequence>`!
+
+```tsx
+<Sequence premountFor={1 * fps}>
+  <Title />
+</Sequence>
+```
+
+## Series
+
+Use `<Series>` when elements should play one after another without overlap.
+
+```tsx
+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`.
+
+### Series with overlaps
+
+Use negative offset for overlapping sequences:
+
+```tsx
+<Series>
+  <Series.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
+    <SceneA />
+  </Series.Sequence>
+  <Series.Sequence offset={-15} durationInFrames={60}>
+    {/* Starts 15 frames before SceneA ends */}
+    <SceneB />
+  </Series.Sequence>
+</Series>
+```
+
+## Frame References Inside Sequences
+
+Inside a Sequence, `useCurrentFrame()` returns the local frame (starting from 0):
+
+```tsx
+<Sequence from={60} durationInFrames={30}>
+  <MyComponent />
+  {/* Inside MyComponent, useCurrentFrame() returns 0-29, not 60-89 */}
+</Sequence>
+```
+
+## Nested Sequences
+
+Sequences can be nested for complex timing:
+
+```tsx
+<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>
+```
+
+## Nesting compositions within another
+
+To add a composition within another composition, you can use the `<Sequence>` component with a `width` and `height` prop to specify the size of the composition.
+
+```tsx
+<AbsoluteFill>
+  <Sequence width={COMPOSITION_WIDTH} height={COMPOSITION_HEIGHT}>
+    <CompositionComponent />
+  </Sequence>
+</AbsoluteFill>
+```

+You can and should use TailwindCSS in Remotion, if TailwindCSS is installed in the project.
+
+Don't use `transition-*` or `animate-*` classes - always animate using the `useCurrentFrame()` hook.
+
+Tailwind must be installed and enabled first in a Remotion project - fetch https://www.remotion.dev/docs/tailwind using WebFetch for instructions.

+## Text animations
+
+Based on `useCurrentFrame()`, reduce the string character by character to create a typewriter effect.
+
+## Typewriter Effect
+
+See [Typewriter](assets/text-animations-typewriter.tsx) for an advanced example with a blinking cursor and a pause after the first sentence.
+
+Always use string slicing for typewriter effects. Never use per-character opacity.
+
+## Word Highlighting
+
+See [Word Highlight](assets/text-animations-word-highlight.tsx) for an example for how a word highlight is animated, like with a highlighter pen.

+description: Interpolation curves in Remotion - linear, easing, spring animations
+metadata:
+  tags: spring, bounce, easing, interpolation
+---
+
+A simple linear interpolation is done using the `interpolate` function.
+
+```ts title="Going from 0 to 1 over 100 frames"
+import { interpolate } from "remotion";
+
+const opacity = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1]);
+```
+
+By default, the values are not clamped, so the value can go outside the range [0, 1].  
+Here is how they can be clamped:
+
+```ts title="Going from 0 to 1 over 100 frames with extrapolation"
+const opacity = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1], {
+  extrapolateRight: "clamp",
+  extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
+});
+```
+
+## Spring animations
+
+Spring animations have a more natural motion.  
+They go from 0 to 1 over time.
+
+```ts title="Spring animation from 0 to 1 over 100 frames"
+import { spring, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
+
+const frame = useCurrentFrame();
+const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
+
+const scale = spring({
+  frame,
+  fps,
+});
+```
+
+### Physical properties
+
+The default configuration is: `mass: 1, damping: 10, stiffness: 100`.  
+This leads to the animation having a bit of bounce before it settles.
+
+The config can be overwritten like this:
+
+```ts
+const scale = spring({
+  frame,
+  fps,
+  config: { damping: 200 },
+});
+```
+
+The recommended configuration for a natural motion without a bounce is: `{ damping: 200 }`.
+
+Here are some common configurations:
+
+```tsx
+const smooth = { damping: 200 }; // Smooth, no bounce (subtle reveals)
+const snappy = { damping: 20, stiffness: 200 }; // Snappy, minimal bounce (UI elements)
+const bouncy = { damping: 8 }; // Bouncy entrance (playful animations)
+const heavy = { damping: 15, stiffness: 80, mass: 2 }; // Heavy, slow, small bounce
+```
+
+### Delay
+
+The animation starts immediately by default.  
+Use the `delay` parameter to delay the animation by a number of frames.
+
+```tsx
+const entrance = spring({
+  frame: frame - ENTRANCE_DELAY,
+  fps,
+  delay: 20,
+});
+```
+
+### Duration
+
+A `spring()` has a natural duration based on the physical properties.  
+To stretch the animation to a specific duration, use the `durationInFrames` parameter.
+
+```tsx
+const spring = spring({
+  frame,
+  fps,
+  durationInFrames: 40,
+});
+```
+
+### Combining spring() with interpolate()
+
+Map spring output (0-1) to custom ranges:
+
+```tsx
+const springProgress = spring({
+  frame,
+  fps,
+});
+
+// Map to rotation
+const rotation = interpolate(springProgress, [0, 1], [0, 360]);
+
+<div style={{ rotate: rotation + "deg" }} />;
+```
+
+### Adding springs
+
+Springs return just numbers, so math can be performed:
+
+```tsx
+const frame = useCurrentFrame();
+const { fps, durationInFrames } = useVideoConfig();
+
+const inAnimation = spring({
+  frame,
+  fps,
+});
+const outAnimation = spring({
+  frame,
+  fps,
+  durationInFrames: 1 * fps,
+  delay: durationInFrames - 1 * fps,
+});
+
+const scale = inAnimation - outAnimation;
+```
+
+## Easing
+
+Easing can be added to the `interpolate` function:
+
+```ts
+import { interpolate, Easing } from "remotion";
+
+const value1 = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1], {
+  easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.quad),
+  extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
+  extrapolateRight: "clamp",
+});
+```
+
+The default easing is `Easing.linear`.  
+There are various other convexities:
+
+- `Easing.in` for starting slow and accelerating
+- `Easing.out` for starting fast and slowing down
+- `Easing.inOut`
+
+and curves (sorted from most linear to most curved):
+
+- `Easing.quad`
+- `Easing.sin`
+- `Easing.exp`
+- `Easing.circle`
+
+Convexities and curves need be combined for an easing function:
+
+```ts
+const value1 = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1], {
+  easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.quad),
+  extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
+  extrapolateRight: "clamp",
+});
+```
+
+Cubic bezier curves are also supported:
+
+```ts
+const value1 = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1], {
+  easing: Easing.bezier(0.8, 0.22, 0.96, 0.65),
+  extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
+  extrapolateRight: "clamp",
+});
+```

+metadata:
+  tags: transitions, fade, slide, wipe, scenes
+---
+
+## Fullscreen transitions
+
+Using `<TransitionSeries>` to animate between multiple scenes or clips.  
+This will absolutely position the children.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+First, the @remotion/transitions package needs to be installed.  
+If it is not, use the following command:
+
+```bash
+npx remotion add @remotion/transitions # If project uses npm
+bunx remotion add @remotion/transitions # If project uses bun
+yarn remotion add @remotion/transitions # If project uses yarn
+pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/transitions # If project uses pnpm
+```
+
+## Example usage
+
+```tsx
+import { TransitionSeries, linearTiming } from "@remotion/transitions";
+import { fade } from "@remotion/transitions/fade";
+
+<TransitionSeries>
+  <TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
+    <SceneA />
+  </TransitionSeries.Sequence>
+  <TransitionSeries.Transition
+    presentation={fade()}
+    timing={linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 15 })}
+  />
+  <TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
+    <SceneB />
+  </TransitionSeries.Sequence>
+</TransitionSeries>;
+```
+
+## Available Transition Types
+
+Import transitions from their respective modules:
+
+```tsx
+import { fade } from "@remotion/transitions/fade";
+import { slide } from "@remotion/transitions/slide";
+import { wipe } from "@remotion/transitions/wipe";
+import { flip } from "@remotion/transitions/flip";
+import { clockWipe } from "@remotion/transitions/clock-wipe";
+```
+
+## Slide Transition with Direction
+
+Specify slide direction for enter/exit animations.
+
+```tsx
+import { slide } from "@remotion/transitions/slide";
+
+<TransitionSeries.Transition
+  presentation={slide({ direction: "from-left" })}
+  timing={linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 20 })}
+/>;
+```
+
+Directions: `"from-left"`, `"from-right"`, `"from-top"`, `"from-bottom"`
+
+## Timing Options
+
+```tsx
+import { linearTiming, springTiming } from "@remotion/transitions";
+
+// Linear timing - constant speed
+linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 20 });
+
+// Spring timing - organic motion
+springTiming({ config: { damping: 200 }, durationInFrames: 25 });
+```
+
+## Duration calculation
+
+Transitions overlap adjacent scenes, so the total composition length is **shorter** than the sum of all sequence durations.
+
+For example, with two 60-frame sequences and a 15-frame transition:
+
+- Without transitions: `60 + 60 = 120` frames
+- With transition: `60 + 60 - 15 = 105` frames
+
+The transition duration is subtracted because both scenes play simultaneously during the transition.
+
+### Getting the duration of a transition
+
+Use the `getDurationInFrames()` method on the timing object:
+
+```tsx
+import { linearTiming, springTiming } from "@remotion/transitions";
+
+const linearDuration = linearTiming({
+  durationInFrames: 20,
+}).getDurationInFrames({ fps: 30 });
+// Returns 20
+
+const springDuration = springTiming({
+  config: { damping: 200 },
+}).getDurationInFrames({ fps: 30 });
+// Returns calculated duration based on spring physics
+```
+
+For `springTiming` without an explicit `durationInFrames`, the duration depends on `fps` because it calculates when the spring animation settles.
+
+### Calculating total composition duration
+
+```tsx
+import { linearTiming } from "@remotion/transitions";
+
+const scene1Duration = 60;
+const scene2Duration = 60;
+const scene3Duration = 60;
+
+const timing1 = linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 15 });
+const timing2 = linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 20 });
+
+const transition1Duration = timing1.getDurationInFrames({ fps: 30 });
+const transition2Duration = timing2.getDurationInFrames({ fps: 30 });
+
+const totalDuration =
+  scene1Duration +
+  scene2Duration +
+  scene3Duration -
+  transition1Duration -
+  transition2Duration;
+// 60 + 60 + 60 - 15 - 20 = 145 frames
+```

+Remotion can render transparent videos in two ways: as a WebM video or as a ProRes video.
+
+## Transparent WebM (VP9)
+
+Ideal for when playing in a browser.
+
+**CLI:**
+
+```bash
+npx remotion render --image-format=png --pixel-format=yuva420p --codec=vp9 MyComp out.webm
+```
+
+**Default in Studio** (restart Studio after changing):

+import { Config } from "@remotion/cli/config";
+
+Config.setVideoImageFormat("png");
+Config.setPixelFormat("yuva420p");
+Config.setCodec("vp9");

+description: Trimming patterns for Remotion - cut the beginning or end of animations
+metadata:
+  tags: sequence, trim, clip, cut, offset
+---
+
+Use `<Sequence>` with a negative `from` value to trim the start of an animation.
+
+## Trim the Beginning
+
+A negative `from` value shifts time backwards, making the animation start partway through:
+
+```tsx
+import { Sequence, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
+
+const fps = useVideoConfig();
+
+<Sequence from={-0.5 * fps}>
+  <MyAnimation />
+</Sequence>;
+```
+
+The animation appears 15 frames into its progress - the first 15 frames are trimmed off.
+Inside `<MyAnimation>`, `useCurrentFrame()` starts at 15 instead of 0.
+
+## Trim the End
+
+Use `durationInFrames` to unmount content after a specified duration:
+
+```tsx
+<Sequence durationInFrames={1.5 * fps}>
+  <MyAnimation />
+</Sequence>
+```
+
+The animation plays for 45 frames, then the component unmounts.
+
+## Trim and Delay
+
+Nest sequences to both trim the beginning and delay when it appears:
+
+```tsx
+<Sequence from={30}>
+  <Sequence from={-15}>
+    <MyAnimation />
+  </Sequence>
+</Sequence>
+```
+
+The inner sequence trims 15 frames from the start, and the outer sequence delays the result by 30 frames.
