Banner slide-in with a pill caption
A light pill caption with dimmed unspoken words starts at 0.3 s, then a torn-paper banner wipes in under it at 0.8 s with two staged words and a push-in. Education, study and reflection clips that label the topic with a banner.

Open my video with this hook: "Banner slide-in with a pill caption" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/banner-slide-in-pill-caption-hook-e1x/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: "text", preset, media }) and call fx.render(seconds) every frame. The preset runs 3s from t = 0; offset t to place it later. 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). Check it on my footage: if text is hidden behind the subject or doesn't read against my colours, nudge the layer positions or colours.
Replace the demo text with mine: set preset.layers[n].text (use \n for line breaks); if none given, write lines that fit my footage and tell me.

- Beats
- 0.0s Speaker mid-gesture, no graphics. → 0.3s Light pill caption appears; spoken words go dark, unspoken words stay grey. → 0.6s Torn-paper banner wipes in (left to right) with a 7 to 10% push-in. → 0.9s Banner words stage in one by one (Break, then Down) and the ampersand fades in beside them. → 1.5s Pill caption advances 2 to 3 words at a time while the banner holds until about 4.3 s.

- Technique
- Hook of the three Paper clips: pill caption at 0.3 s, banner in at 0.55 to 0.9 s with '& Break Down' or '& Study Hack' staged word by word, push-in 1.00 to 1.07 to 1.10. Source preview audio is voice only (no music bed, no whoosh or hit visible in the spectrogram), so no sound cue is listed.
