Text & Titles
Kinetic headlines, reveals, swaps, highlights and lower thirds — the decorative title layer of a video.
Reach for this category whenever text is the shot: headlines, section titles, feature callouts, name bars. These components handle the enter/exit choreography — stagger, blur, slide, swap — so a title lands with intent instead of just appearing. For transcript-timed subtitles, use Captions instead.
The components
18 free Remotion text animations, plus 22 in Pro. Each card plays its own default scene — open one for its props, the source file shadcn add writes, and a player you can scrub frame by frame.
Install
Components are installed into your own Remotion project with the shadcn CLI, and the file it writes is yours to edit — there is no snapcn package to depend on. Set the registry up once, then add components by name:
$ pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @snapcn/hello-zoomNeeds an existing Remotion project and a components.json. Two-minute setup if this is your first snapcn component.
That writes components/snap-cn/hello-zoom.tsx. Swap the name for any other component on this page.
Put it on screen
Every prop has a working default, so the component renders as soon as it is mounted — give it a composition and you have a video:
// src/Root.tsximport { Composition } from "remotion";import { HelloZoom } from "@/components/snap-cn/hello-zoom";export const RemotionRoot = () => ( <Composition id="HelloZoom" component={HelloZoom} durationInFrames={75} fps={30} width={1280} height={720} />);durationInFrames is the length HelloZoom is choreographed for — 75 frames at 30 fps. Cut it short and the animation is cut short with it. To use one as a beat inside a longer video, mount it in a <Sequence>of the same length instead of giving it a composition of its own. Each component's page lists its props; they are all plain values, so anything you can compute you can animate.

Frequently asked questions
How do I add a Remotion text animation to a Remotion project?
Every Remotion text animation here installs with the shadcn CLI — npx shadcn@latest add @snapcn/hello-zoom copies Hello Zoom into your project as a file you own, written against the plain Remotion API. There is no runtime package to keep installed.
Are snapcn's Remotion text animations free?
18 of them are MIT-licensed and free to use commercially; the other 22 are part of snapcn Pro — $179 a year for the whole catalogue, or $279 once to own it outright.
Do I need Remotion to use a Remotion text animation?
Yes. snapcn is a component registry, not a video framework — each component is a React component built on Remotion's useCurrentFrame() and interpolate(), so it renders inside an existing Remotion project.
