# Show a small centred kicker, drop it, then land a two-word title split to the top and bottom edges

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 "Ten tiny canvases" (fmzaw4HB9N0), published 2025-02-06.
Source interval [410, 530) on the 24000/1001 fps master: 120 frames, 5.005000 s. Local frame 0 = source frame 410.
Create a 1920x1080 progressive timeline at 24000/1001 fps and a Fusion composition exactly 120 frames long. Keep integer frames; do not round the frame rate.
Background field: #3d7a2e. Export silent H.264 yuv420p to match the intended playback container.

## Observation
Over a macro shot of swirling green nail polish, a small centred white kicker pops on (~f9) and holds for about 45 frames while the footage drifts (~f9–f53). It vanishes at ~f54 leaving footage alone for nine frames. At ~f63 the two-word title pops on with the first word at the very top of frame and the second at the very bottom, both centred, and holds to the end of the window.

## Mechanism
Kicker-then-title sequencing with a deliberate empty beat, where the title is split to the top and bottom edges of frame.

## Phases (local frames)
- 0: Footage only
- 9: Kicker pops on, centred
- 54: Kicker off; empty beat
- 63: Title word 1 top, word 2 bottom
- 100: Hold

## Construction steps
1. Timeline 1920x1080 at 23.976 fps; Fusion composition 120 frames. Local 0 = master frame 410.
2. Background: the macro polish footage (here approximated by three soft-blurred ellipses drifting 120–180px over the window).
3. Kicker: Text+ 36px medium white, centred, top y=500; clip frames 9–53 only, no fade in or out.
4. Title word 1: Text+ 124px semibold white centred at top y=20; word 2 same style at top y=900. Both start at frame 63 as an instant switch-on.
5. Leave frames 54–62 with no type at all; the empty beat is part of the rhythm.
6. Easy mistake: stacking the two title words in the middle. They are pushed to the extreme top and bottom edges with the footage open between them.

## Content variants
Default copy:
- kicker: Maker Stories
- titleA: Nine Small
- titleB: Palettes
Adaptation changes:
- kicker: Studio Notes
- titleA: Six Quiet
- titleB: Brushes

## 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.
