Punch-in hit, then shrink into a glass-framed card

A hard jump cut punches in at 0.12 s, the first caption fades in at 0.2 s, the frame scales down at 0.3-0.55 s to a rounded card on a dark teal glass frame with a soft glow and the caption sits under the card with a cyan highlight word; the card expands to full frame at about 3.0 s (4.3 s in one clip). Gaming, tech and creator clips that open with energy and then settle.

Open my video with this hook: "Punch-in hit, then shrink into a glass-framed card" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/punch-in-hit-then-glass-card-shrink-hook-e3x/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 5s 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: [jump-cut punch-in at 0.12 s] + [first words in caps] + [scale to glass card at 0.3-0.55 s] + [expand at about 3 s]

Example lines: The biggest change for me was realizing that communication is key · All right guys, listen up. This strat is absolutely broken · This tool right here completely revolutionized how I approach my daily tasks
Beats: 0.0s wide establishing frame → 0.1s hard jump cut punch-in to about 1.4x → 0.2s first caption words fade in, cyan highlight on the key word → 0.3s frame scales down to a rounded inset card on a glowing glass frame → 0.6s two-line caption below the card; hold framed until about 3.0 s
