What it does
Built on Parallax Device Dive by HeyGen (HyperFrames), Apache-2.0. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.
The phone grows until its screen fills the frame; bezel slides off-frame and the UI layers separate slightly as you pass through.
When: Bridge from a device beauty shot into a flat UI walkthrough without a cut.
Watch out: Do not push in at constant speed; accelerate in, decelerate as the UI fills the frame.
Timing: Rise 0.6 s, push 0.8–1.0 s expo.inOut.
Also called: screen dive, fly into phone, parallax dive
In HyperFrames
npx hyperframes add parallax-device-dive
In Remotion
const z = interpolate(frame,[18,42],[1,4.6],{extrapolateLeft:'clamp',extrapolateRight:'clamp',easing:Easing.inOut(Easing.exp)});
<AbsoluteFill style={{transform:`scale(${z})`, transformOrigin:'50% 48%'}}><PhoneWithScreen/></AbsoluteFill>
In CapCut
Keyframe the phone mockup Scale 100% → 460% in 0.8 s, then cut on the frame the screen fills to the raw recording.
