# Fade in a small right-aligned name, then fade the role line in beneath it three frames later

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 "Building at the pace of AI innovation | Grant Lee, Gamma" (PB7DBemxl3E), published 2026-07-24.
Source interval [268, 330) on the 25/1 fps master: 62 frames, 2.480000 s. Local frame 0 = source frame 268.
Create a 1920x1080 progressive timeline at 25/1 fps and a Fusion composition exactly 62 frames long. Keep integer frames; do not round the frame rate.
Background field: #171512. Export silent H.264 yuv420p to match the intended playback container.

## Observation
On a dark restaurant interview shot with the speaker frame-left, a small right-aligned name fades up on the right side of frame around two-thirds down (~f2–f5, grey to white). A lighter-weight role line fades up directly beneath it, also right-aligned (~f5–f9). Both hold for the rest of the window with no further motion.

## Mechanism
Staggered two-line lower third: name and role fade in as separate right-aligned layers, offset by three frames.

## Phases (local frames)
- 0: Footage only
- 2: Name fades in
- 5: Role fades in beneath
- 9: Hold

- name [text] at (1200, 664) size 660x0 text "Priya Anand" 24px weight 600 #ffffff
    keyframes opacity: f2=0, f5=1 (out)
- role [text] at (1200, 700) size 660x0 text "Founder & CEO, Lumen" 22px weight 400 #e6e6e6
    keyframes opacity: f5=0, f9=1 (out)

## Construction steps
1. Timeline 1920x1080 at 25 fps; Fusion composition 62 frames. Local 0 = master frame 268.
2. Name: Text+ 24px semibold white, right-aligned so the last glyph ends at x=1860, top y=664. Keyframe Blend 0 at frame 2 and 1 at frame 5.
3. Role: Text+ 22px regular, colour #e6e6e6, same right edge, top y=700. Keyframe Blend 0 at frame 5 and 1 at frame 9.
4. Keep both nodes on their own Merge so the offsets are independent; no position animation.
5. Easy mistake: fading both lines together. The role starts fading exactly when the name reaches full opacity.

## Content variants
Default copy:
- name: Priya Anand
- role: Founder & CEO, Lumen
Adaptation changes:
- name: Tomas Reyes
- role: Head of Product, Orbit

## 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.
