White title plate with typed kicker

In 3 s: no footage for the first 1.5 s, only a white page with a bold title word, a decoding kicker line and a plain caption while the voice runs; the card then grows to full frame. Brand, luxury or fashion clips with a polished, typographic open.

Open my video with this hook: "White title plate with typed kicker" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/white-title-plate-typed-kicker-hook-e4x/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 3s 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: [One-word topic title] / [mono kicker line typed in] / plain caption of the first words: [Heat] [Brand] [Luxury].
Pair with captions preset mono-caps-white-label-box (https://24fps.dev/video-editor/captions/mono-caps-white-label-box/preset.json); the captions kind takes script as [{ w, s, e, emph }], plus karaoke and activeColor.

Beats
0.0s Pure white page; bold title word at the centre with tracked uppercase. → 0.1s Plain mono caption starts at the lower third while the voice already runs (no caption box yet). → 0.3s Kicker line under the title decodes from scrambled characters to its full text. → 0.6s Static hold; caption keeps updating word groups. → 1.5s Hard cut to the speaker as a card about 78 percent of the frame inside a white margin, with a boxed caption; the card scales to full bleed by about 2.0 s.
