Following for X days

Left-aligned lower-third: kicker, big headline, quiet sub-line. Stages: “I followed a pro chef's weekly routine for 7 days.” You tried something for a stretch of time or tested several options. Fits lines like “I followed a monk's morning routine for a week.”.

Open my video with this hook: "Following for X days" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/following-for-x-days/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 Kicker 'experiment' slides in from the left. → 0.1s Headline 'I copied a monk's morning for a week' slides in with an expo ease. → 0.6s Sub-line 'day 1 was brutal' fades in. → 1.4s Opening shot is the routine's first hard moment (alarm, stretch); the voice starts as the action does.
Technique: Challenge / experiment hook: Frame the video as an experiment or time-boxed test with an unknown outcome.
