Example​

MyComp.tsx

import {Video} from '@remotion/media';
import {evolve} from '@remotion/effects/evolve';

export const MyComp: React.FC = () => {
  const frame = useCurrentFrame();
  const progress = interpolate(frame, [0, 30], [0, 1], {
    extrapolateLeft: 'clamp',
    extrapolateRight: 'clamp',
  });

  return (
    <>
      <Video

            direction: 'left',
            feather: 0.18,
