# Cut between centred product shots on a steady eight-frame beat, then hold the last

Manual DaVinci Resolve / Fusion construction guide generated from the recipe. It is not a tested .drp.
The accompanying Remotion project (recipe.json) is the executable definition; the numbers below are copied from it.
Neither construction establishes source fidelity: this is an original vector approximation of an inspected editing moment.

## Source and clock
Reference: OpenAI's "This is ChatGPT Images 2.0" (-7JSa_luc6k), published 2026-04-21.
Source interval [1706, 1798) on the 30000/1001 fps master: 92 frames, 3.069733 s. Local frame 0 = source frame 1706.
Create a 1920x1080 progressive timeline at 30000/1001 fps and a Fusion composition exactly 92 frames long. Keep integer frames; do not round the frame rate.
Background field: #ffffff. Export silent H.264 yuv420p to match the intended playback container.

## Observation
Twelve packaged products appear one after another on a plain white field, each centred and sized to a similar visual weight: a tall tin, a can, a boxed jar, a red jar, a paper menu, a black menu book, a soap box, a spice pouch, a green bottle, a navy cracker bag, a cereal box and finally a comic page. Every change is a hard cut with no transition; the cuts land roughly every eight frames (some four to six), at local ~f0, 6, 14, 22, 28, 36, 44, 51, 55, 63, 71 and 79. The final comic page holds for the last thirteen frames.

## Mechanism
Metronomic hard-cut montage: centred subjects on an identical white field swapped on a fixed beat, then a hold on the final subject.

## Phases (local frames)
- 0: Cut 1
- 6: Cut 2
- 14: Cut 3
- 22: Cut 4
- 28: Cut 5
- 36: Cut 6
- 44: Cut 7
- 51: Cut 8
- 55: Cut 9
- 63: Cut 10
- 71: Cut 11
- 79: Cut 12
- 79: Hold on the last subject

## Construction steps
1. Timeline 1920x1080 at 29.97 fps; Fusion composition 92 frames. Local 0 = master frame 1706.
2. White background. Build each subject as a group of rectangles/ellipses centred on 960,520 with a faint blurred shadow ellipse beneath and a 22px grey label at y 820; keep every subject inside roughly 460x520 px so the visual weight matches from cut to cut.
3. Cut points (local frames): 0, 6, 14, 22, 28, 36, 44, 51, 55, 63, 71, 79. Trim each clip/group to start on its cut and end on the next; the twelfth holds to frame 92.
4. Use no dissolves, wipes or scale moves; the rhythm alone carries the sequence.
5. Easy mistake: equalising all gaps to exactly eight frames. The source drifts between four and eight, so copy the listed frames rather than a fixed grid.

## Limits
Easing names map to Fusion spline shapes: linear = linear, in/out/inOut = ease curves on the same frames, hold = step, spring/overshoot = slight overshoot past the target before settling.
Text reveal frames give the first and last unit; distribute characters/words evenly between them. Cursor click rings last 14 frames.
