Ghost keyword band with a blur pop

Caption words start at 0.2 s; at 1.0 to 1.6 s a blur pop drops a dark teal top band with a giant outlined ghost keyword and dims the picture, and another blur-pop reframe follows at 1.8 to 2.6 s. Business, medical and habit tips that want a punchy, multi-angle look.

Open my video with this hook: "Ghost keyword band with a blur pop" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/ghost-keyword-band-blur-pop-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 at 1.00 scale. → 0.2s White bold sans words with neon cyan script emphasis words, two lines low in frame. → 1.0s Blur pop: dark teal top band with a giant outline ghost keyword appears and the picture dims by about 30%. → 1.8s Second blur-pop reframe, sometimes with a push-in of +14% (2.58 s in the habit clip). → 2.8s Cut to a wide second angle or a new crop with the caption continuing.
Same idea: Also called: Prime (AI Edit)
Technique: Hook of the three Prime clips: captions at 0.2 s, band and blur pop at 1.3 s (business), 1.0 s (medical), 1.6 s (motivation); second pop at 1.8, 3.1 and 2.6 s. Source preview audio is voice only (no music bed, no whoosh or hit visible in the spectrogram), so no sound cue is listed.
