Blur snap open with a stacked chrome title

Frame 0 is a heavily blurred 1.8x close-up that snaps into focus by 0.25 s; a two-line title (white word over a blue-chrome italic word) lands at 0.25 s in the upper left and stays 3-4 s while italic chrome captions run in the lower third. Premium brand, wine and property presenters.

Open my video with this hook: "Blur snap open with a stacked chrome title" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/blur-snap-open-layered-chrome-title-hook-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: "text", preset, media }) and call fx.render(seconds) every frame. The preset runs 5s 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.

0.0s motion-blurred 1.8x close-up snaps into focus → 0.3s stacked title fades in over the speaker's head area → 0.4s first caption word pair appears in the lower third with italic chrome emphasis → 1.0s captions swap every 0.4-0.6 s, title stays up to about 3.2-4.4 s
