What it does
Built on Liquid Glass Notification by HeyGen (HyperFrames), Apache-2.0. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.
Rounded panels with background blur, a thin bright rim and slight edge refraction; content stays sharp on top.
When: Consumer and Apple-platform products; notification or widget beats over imagery.
Watch out: Do not stack glass on a flat grey background; glass needs color and detail behind it to read.
Timing: Panels drift 0.5–1 s, power2.out; keep blur radius stable across frames.
Also called: glass panels, frosted UI, iOS 26 glass
In HyperFrames
npx hyperframes add liquid-glass-notification
Or liquid-glass-widgets / vfx-liquid-glass for shader-based refraction.
In Remotion
<div style={{backdropFilter:'blur(24px) saturate(1.6)', background:'rgba(255,255,255,0.18)', border:'1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.4)', borderRadius:28}}/>
In CapCut
Add a rounded rectangle shape, set opacity 25%, and on the clip below apply Mask + Blur in the same area.

More UI walkthroughs skills
- Zoom to the Action: The full app establishes, then the camera pushes 1.5–2× into the part being used and eases back out.
- 3D Tilted Dashboard Reveal: The dashboard rises from a steep 3D tilt to flat, like a screen lifting toward the viewer.
- Floating UI Panels in Depth: The interface splits into its panels, which float apart in depth with parallax, then snap back.
- UI Builds Itself Piece by Piece: Grey skeleton blocks pulse once, then real cards, charts and text fill in with a stagger.
- Before/After UI Wipe: A divider sweeps across one screen, turning the old version into the new one underneath.
- Card Expands Into Detail: A small card grows into a full detail panel in one continuous shape change.
