Silent hard cut with 7-10% reframe
A single-frame jump cut on a pause: no blur, flash or dissolve, the crop steps 7-10% tighter or wider and the speaker's hand pose resets, so it reads as a trimmed take. Nothing is heard on the cut. Calm vlog, lifestyle or explainer talking heads that need a fresh angle every 2-4 s without a flashy transition.

Use this transition between my clips: "Silent hard cut with 7-10% reframe" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/transitions/silent-hard-cut-reframe-e6x/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 (3.67s) over preset.dur (0.5s), 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).
