Emoji and one-word cards with a snap punch

The speaker starts wide, snaps in 28% at 0.35 s and gets one condensed caps word at a time with a small emoji above it, lime filler words in between. Business, finance and fitness tips told in short punchy phrases.

Open my video with this hook: "Emoji and one-word cards with a snap punch" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/emoji-word-snap-punch-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.

Same idea: Also called: Impact II (AI Edit)
Technique: Hook of the three Impact clips: first word card at 0.1 s, snap punch at 0.33 to 0.42 s, then +9% at 1.25 s and +6% at 1.7 s; cards swap every 0.35 to 0.6 s. Source preview audio is voice only (no music bed, no whoosh or hit visible in the spectrogram), so no sound cue is listed.
