The only thing you need
Gradient-filled giant words slamming in one by one. Stages: “This is the only stretch you need for lower back pain.” You can show the proof within the first beat or two. Fits lines like “This is the only app you need for budgeting.”.

Open my video with this hook: "The only thing you need" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/the-only-thing-you-need/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.

- Beats
- 0.0s 'the only stretch you need' slams in word by word, gradient fill. → 0.6s Sub-line 'for lower-back pain' rises. → 1.4s Speaker demonstrates the stretch immediately; the thing named in the first second, no preamble.
- Technique
- Bold claim + proof hook: Lead with a specific, slightly provocative result and promise to show it.
