Handwritten whiteboard

Handwritten sticky note slapped on screen, with an optional tag. Stages: “This is the one chart you need.” The first frame needs to look different from the feed. Fits lines like “The only formula you'll need.”.

Open my video with this hook: "Handwritten whiteboard" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/handwritten-whiteboard/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.
Hook formula: Handwritten note scribbled on screen as the line is spoken.
