N out of M get this wrong

Oversized gradient number slammed in, with a caps label and a serif follow-up. Stages: “9 out of 10 people can't spot the flaw in this logo.” The payoff is a reveal later in the video and the opener needs a reason to stay. Fits lines like “8 out of 10 gym-goers get this squat cue wrong.”.

Open my video with this hook: "N out of M get this wrong" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/n-out-of-m-get-this-wrong/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: [N] out of [M] people get this wrong.

Beats
0.0s Number '9/10' slams in, gradient-filled, filling the frame width. → 0.3s Label 'can't spot the flaw' rises beneath it. → 0.8s Serif line 'Can you?' fades in last. → 1.4s Freeze on the logo with a thin ring pulsing around the flaw; speaker voice: 'most people never see it'; unfreezes at 2 s.
Technique
Curiosity gap hook: Open loop: imply a payoff and withhold it for a few seconds.
