Blur dissolve to pastel word card

Footage defocuses and cross-dissolves over ~0.35 s into a soft grey-lilac card with a big blurred orange or blue orb, then returns by the same blur dissolve ~1.6-2.1 s later. Full-screen keyword moments (a mantra, a number) in calm wellness or routine content.

Use this transition between my clips: "Blur dissolve to pastel word card" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/transitions/blur-dissolve-to-pastel-card-e5x/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 = { a, b }: two wrappers holding clip A and clip B, both filling the root. Clip A plays first; the cut happens at preset.at (4.4s) over preset.dur (0.4s), so start clip B at preset.at. Then const fx = mount(root, { kind: "transition", preset, media }) and call fx.render(seconds) every frame. 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).
Sound design: swish at 4.04s on blur dissolve into the card (4.3-4.6 s), kai wellness (airy swish, hi band +25 at 4.04 and +29 at 4.65); boom at 4.51s on card lands (soft low thump +22 dB); boom at 6.1s on card leaves at ~6.2 s (soft low thump +26 dB, swish +26 at 6.24). In HyperFrames, fetch each with media-use (e.g. npx hyperframes media-use resolve --type sfx --intent "swish" --project .; media-use needs `heygen auth login`, without it use `--local-only`, check with `--doctor`); elsewhere use royalty-free SFX or ones I give you.
