In X seconds the world

Left-aligned giant stat with a caps label, a serif sentence and a tiny source tag. Stages: “Every 3 seconds, a hard drive somewhere fails.” You have a credible figure that changes how the viewer sees the topic. Fits lines like “Every minute, 500 hours of video are uploaded.”.

Open my video with this hook: "In X seconds the world" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/in-x-seconds-the-world/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.

Formula: Every [time unit], [shocking global fact].
Example lines: Every 3 seconds, a hard drive somewhere fails. · Every minute, 500 hours of video are uploaded. · Every year, travelers lose 20 million bags. · Every day, 2 billion meals are wasted.
Beats: 0.0s Figure 'every 3 sec' slams in at lower-left with a dark outline. → 0.3s Label 'a hard drive somewhere fails' slides under it. → 0.6s Sentence 'back up yours today' rises; tiny source tag 'Industry estimates' fades in at the bottom. → 1.4s Beep or metronome at 1 Hz in the background; the number ticks on screen with the beep.
Technique: Stat shock hook: Open on a surprising, specific number, then its consequence.
