# Cut to a white card and type a two-line feature title, centred, in under a second

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 "Introducing Prism, a free workspace for scientists to write and collaborate on research" (xnInEsaaj9c), published 2026-01-27.
Source interval [3555, 3735) on the 60/1 fps master: 180 frames, 3.000000 s. Local frame 0 = source frame 3555.
Create a 1920x1080 progressive timeline at 60/1 fps and a Fusion composition exactly 180 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
Hard cut from the magnified manuscript to a plain white card at about f4. A bold black title types on character by character from f6: 'Search literature and' fills the first line by about f22, wraps, and 'manage references' completes by f45. The two lines are centred as a block just above the vertical middle. The card holds with no motion until the next cut at f180.

## Mechanism
A centred two-line title type-on used as a chapter marker: fast character reveal, natural wrap, long hold.

## Phases (local frames)
- 0: Tail of the previous shot
- 4: Hard cut to white card
- 6: Title types on, line one
- 22: Wraps to line two
- 45: Complete; hold to the end

## Construction steps
1. Timeline 1920x1080 at 60 fps; Fusion composition 180 frames. Local 0 = master frame 3555; the cut to the card is at local 4.
2. White card from frame 4. One Text+ node, 60px, weight 700, #111, centre-justified, layout width 1200px so the phrase wraps to two lines; line spacing 76px; block centred near y=540.
3. Write On in character mode 0 to 1 over frames 6-45 (about 40 frames at 60 fps, roughly 1.2 characters per frame). No caret, no fade.
4. Hold the finished title to frame 180; the exit is a hard cut.
5. Easy mistake: starting the type-on on the cut frame; the source leaves two frames of blank white before the first character.
6. Match the adaptation by keeping the layout width fixed so a different phrase still wraps into two centred lines.

## Content variants
Default copy:
- title: Draft methods and track citations
Adaptation changes:
- title: Review results and flag open questions

## 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.
Vector illustration is an approximation of layout and motion, not the product UI or recovered production assets.
