# Type an interview question onto a white card, wrapping to a centred second line

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 "Have a Crazy Idea? Build It with Codex | Romain Huet | OpenAI France" (jaYDbeQTUR0), published 2026-07-16.
Source interval [1100, 1250) on the 50/1 fps master: 150 frames, 3.000000 s. Local frame 0 = source frame 1100.
Create a 1920x1080 progressive timeline at 50/1 fps and a Fusion composition exactly 150 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 interview to a plain white card. A bold black question types on character by character from f0: the first line fills by about f26, the text wraps and the second line completes with a question mark by f62. Both lines are centred as a block; the card then holds still until the cut back to the interview at f150.

## Mechanism
An interstitial question card built as a single centred, wrapping type-on: the line break arrives naturally as characters fill the measure.

## Phases (local frames)
- 0: Cut to white card, typing begins
- 26: First line full, wraps
- 62: Question mark lands
- 63: Hold

## Layer inventory (absolute 1920x1080 top-left pixels, back to front)
- card [rect] at (0, 0) size 1920x1080 fill #ffffff
- question [text] at (260, 440) size 1400x0 text "What's your best advice for developers building with agent tools?" 56px weight 700 #111111 reveal chars frames 0-62

## Construction steps
1. Timeline 1920x1080 at 50 fps; Fusion composition 150 frames. Local 0 = master frame 1100, the cut to the card.
2. Background: solid white. One Text+ node, 56px, weight 700, #111, centre-justified, layout width 1400px so the sentence wraps to two lines, line spacing 72px.
3. Write On 0 to 1 over frames 0-62 in character mode; no caret, no fade on the characters.
4. Position the text block so its two-line centre sits at y=540; the first line alone will appear slightly high before the wrap, which matches the source.
5. Easy mistake: revealing by words. The source is per-character, about one character per frame at 50 fps.
6. Hold to frame 150; the exit is a hard cut.

## Content variants
Default copy:
- question: What's your best advice for developers building with agent tools?
Adaptation changes:
- question: Which idea did you think was too crazy until you tried building it?

## 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.
