Blurred zoom settles into focus on frame 0
The clip opens on a motion-blurred close-up at roughly 1.6-2x scale that snaps to the normal framing and full focus in 0.25-0.3 s, while the first title or caption lands. Opening every vertical talking head with a focus pull instead of a fade (Prism Pro 0-0.25 s; Stack 0-0.3 s).

Apply this to my video: "Blurred zoom settles into focus on frame 0" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/effects/blur-zoom-settle-open-e3x/preset.json (pass its "preset" to the engine).
Engine (MIT, no dependencies, ES module): https://24fps.dev/editor/engine.js. Download the engine next to your page (curl -O) rather than importing cross-origin, then import { mount } from "./engine.js" in a <script type="module"> served over http.
Wiring: root = a position:relative box at the video's size. media = { main }: main is a wrapper holding my video, filling the root. Then const fx = mount(root, { kind: "effect", preset, media }) and call fx.render(seconds) every frame. It is seek-safe: drive it from the GSAP timeline in HyperFrames or call render(frame / fps) in Remotion. Before capturing frames, await (fx.ready ?? document.fonts.ready).
