What it does
Built on Sticky Mock Swap by HeyGen (HyperFrames), Apache-2.0. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.
The mock holds center; a tab indicator slides between labels and the screen cross-fades to the matching state.
When: Walk through 3–5 features quickly without re-establishing the UI each time.
Watch out: Do not move the mock between states; stillness is what makes the changes readable.
Timing: Indicator slide 0.3 s, screen cross-fade 0.25 s, 2–3 s per state.
Also called: sticky mock, feature tabs, tabbed walkthrough
In HyperFrames
npx hyperframes add sticky-mock-swap
npx hyperframes add tabs-slide-indicator
In Remotion
// npx shadcn@latest add @remocn/tabs
const active = Math.min(states.length-1, Math.floor(frame/(fps*2.5)));
In CapCut
Stack the state screenshots back to back on one track with 0.25 s "Dissolve" transitions; add a tab bar overlay with a moving highlight shape.

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.
