Masked Slide Reveal

A strict, architectural typography primitive: each word is wrapped in a fixed-height container with overflow: hidden, and the inner span springs upward from translateY(100%) to 0. The result is text that grows out of an invisible baseline.

Installation

$ pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @remocn/masked-slide-reveal

Usage

// src/Root.tsx
import { Composition } from "remotion";
import { MaskedSlideReveal } from "@/components/remocn/masked-slide-reveal";

const MaskedSlideRevealScene = () => (
  <MaskedSlideReveal text="Built for Remotion" />
);

export const RemotionRoot = () => (
  <Composition
    id="MaskedSlideReveal"
    component={MaskedSlideRevealScene}
    durationInFrames={90}
    fps={30}
    width={1280}
    height={720}
  />
);

Props

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`text`required	`string`	—	The text to animate. Split on spaces into words.
`staggerDelay`	`number`	`3`	Frames between the start of each word's spring animation.
`fontSize`	`number`	`72`	Font size in pixels.
`fontWeight`	`number`	`700`	CSS font-weight.
`color`	`string`	`"#171717"`	Text color (any valid CSS color).
`speed`	`number`	`1`	Playback speed multiplier (1 = normal, 2 = twice as fast).
`className`	`string`	—	Optional className passed to the underlying span.

Notes

Mind descenders

The mask uses lineHeight: 1, which clips letter descenders (g, y, p) by design. If you need extra room, wrap the component in your own container with padding.
