Direct measurable promise

Oversized gradient number slammed in, with a caps label and a serif follow-up. Stages: “This 5-second edit doubled my watch time.” The video is a how-to with a clear, measurable result. Fits lines like “This 10-minute stretch fixed my back.”.

Open my video with this hook: "Direct measurable promise" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/direct-measurable-promise/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 4s 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 Number '5 sec' slams in, gradient-filled, filling the frame width. → 0.3s Label 'edit that doubled my watch time' rises beneath it. → 0.8s Serif line 'here's the edit' fades in last. → 1.4s Screen recording of the timeline with a cursor snapping to the single cut; whip-pan to the result graph at 2 s.
