Terminal Window

Everything below can be changed without touching the animation. Hand the list to an agent, or edit the values at the bottom of the component file.

• Command

  command · string

  The command that types in after the prompt glyph. Keep it to one line, 30–45 characters reads best at 16:9; longer shrinks the type for every line in the window.

  now: npx remotion render hero out/hero.mp4

• Output

  output · array

  The log, in order. One to nine lines; the window reserves all of their space from frame 0, so it never reflows as they land. Mix tones for hierarchy, spinners for the two or three real steps, dim for detail, one 'ok' at the end.

  now: 6 items

• Title

  title · string

  Mono title centred in the window chrome. A path and a shell name is the convention. Empty string for bare chrome.

  now: ~/motionstash — zsh

• Prompt

  prompt · string

  Prompt glyph in the gutter of the command line and of the prompt left behind at the end. '$', '%' and '›' all work.

  now: $

• Eyebrow

  eyebrow · string

  Small uppercase mono label above the window, preceded by an accent dash. Empty string for none.

  now: Motionstash

• Caption

  caption · string

  Dim mono note under the window, aligned to its right edge, fading in only once the prompt returns. Empty string for none.

  now: Deterministic render — the same frames on every machine

• Caret blink

  caretBlink · number

  Frames in one full caret blink. 20 is ~1.5 blinks a second at 30fps. The caret holds solid while keys are landing and only blinks when the shell is waiting.

  now: 20

• Seed

  seed · string

  Seeds the per-keystroke jitter that keeps the typing off the metronome. Change it for a differently-fumbled take of identical duration; the same seed always renders identical frames.

  now: terminal-01

• Brand

  brand · string

  Brand token id, one of the keys of BRANDS.

  now: slate
