Four tools I want to try for better demo videos

Shadcn Labs' list of launch video tools, and a first try with Remotion and snapcn.

Shadcn Labs posted a short list for anyone whose launch video "still looks like AI slop": snapcn for launch video components, Remotion for video in React, Rive for interactive motion, and Jitter for quick motion mockups.

I want to try these. I make a lot of demo videos at work, and they don't turn out great.

So I had my agent try two of them first. It recorded the dither prototype from my last note, then cut it together in Remotion with a few snapcn pieces: a screen recording with camera pushes, a drawn cursor, a title reveal and a wordmark end card.
