Solid caps over outline caps
Two lines of condensed uppercase stacked at the lower left, the first solid white and the second hollow outline that reads as the next line waiting to fill. Pull-quote moment on a fashion or luxury video, echoing the ghost-then-solid caption rhythm.

Apply this to my video: "Solid caps over outline caps" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/text/solid-over-outline-caps-stack/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.
