Adapted from reactvideoeditor/remotion-templates. The glitch-text template was adapted to use theme accent colors for the RGB split layers instead of hardcoded cyan/magenta.

  • Tech intro sequences
  • Error or alert animations
  • Cyberpunk-style branding
  • Gaming content intros

What you get

  • RGB split layers - theme accent + accentSecondary as chromatic channels
  • Oscillating motion - sine-wave driven glitch intensity
  • Screen blend - mixBlendMode for authentic CRT effect
