Every click shows a quiet expanding ring while the clicked button presses in and responds.

What it does

Built on Press Ripple by HeyGen (HyperFrames), Apache-2.0. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

A thin ring grows from the cursor tip and fades; the button dips to 0.94 scale in sync and returns, then shows its new state.

When: Make clicks legible in recordings with no sound or when cursor moves are fast.

Watch out: Do not use big colorful bursts on every click; save a celebratory burst for the final success.

Timing: Ring 0.35–0.5 s ease-out to ~3× size; button press 0.1 s down, 0.2 s up.

Also called: click effect, ripple, tap feedback

In HyperFrames

npx hyperframes add press-ripple

Target the button with the same t as the cursor press so both react on one frame.

In Remotion

const r = interpolate(frame,[clickAt,clickAt+12],[0,1],{extrapolateLeft:'clamp',extrapolateRight:'clamp'});
<div style={{width:40,height:40,borderRadius:99,border:'2px solid #fff',transform:`scale(${1+r*2})`,opacity:1-r}}/>

In CapCut

Stickers → search "click"/"tap" ripple; place on each click frame; Screen Studio exports have this built in.
