Torn paper to lips collage

In 3 s: speaker with a small tilted label, a yellow torn-paper flash at 0.16 s, then a black collage page with a mouth cut-out and a grey speech block carrying the words until about 2.6 s. Counterculture, music or fashion clips with a zine-like open.

Open my video with this hook: "Torn paper to lips collage" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/yellow-torn-paper-lips-collage-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: [Topic label] on the first beat; a torn-paper wipe to a collage page where each word appears alone on a black label: [Counterculture style is rooted in the DIY ethic].
Pair with captions preset slab-black-box-yellow-word (https://24fps.dev/video-editor/captions/slab-black-box-yellow-word/preset.json); the captions kind takes script as [{ w, s, e, emph }], plus karaoke and activeColor.

Beats: 0.0s Speaker in colour, no caption. → 0.1s Yellow torn paper floods the frame for about 3 frames; a small tilted black label with the topic word sits at the top. → 0.3s Black page with a small mouth cut-out spinning in, grain specks. → 0.7s Large mouth cut-out at the bottom, grey halftone speech block above, each spoken word alone on a tilted black label inside it. → 2.6s Speech block tears away diagonally revealing the speaker; one-word label stays at the top.
