# Cut to the wide stage shot, then pop the title in two hard beats, one line at a time

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 [125, 188) on the 25/1 fps master: 63 frames, 2.520000 s. Local frame 0 = source frame 125.
Create a 1920x1080 progressive timeline at 25/1 fps and a Fusion composition exactly 63 frames long. Keep integer frames; do not round the frame rate.
Background field: #4a3a30. Export silent H.264 yuv420p to match the intended playback container.

## Observation
A dark interview close-up hard-cuts (~f2) to a wide shot of two people seated in front of a warm orange-and-blue backdrop with an audience in silhouette. At ~f12 the first title line pops on fully formed, centred slightly left of the speakers. At ~f22 the second line pops on directly beneath it. Nothing fades; both lines simply switch on and hold to the end of the window.

## Mechanism
Two-beat title pop: a hard cut to the establishing shot, then each title line appears as an instant switch-on ten frames apart.

## Phases (local frames)
- 0: Interview close-up
- 2: Hard cut to wide stage
- 12: Line 1 pops on
- 22: Line 2 pops on
- 40: Hold

## Construction steps
1. Timeline 1920x1080 at 25 fps; Fusion composition 63 frames. Local 0 = master frame 125.
2. Edit: interview close-up frames 0–1, hard cut to the wide stage shot at frame 2.
3. Title line 1: Text+ 112px semibold white, centred in a 1000px box starting at x=300 (top y=440). Set clip start to frame 12; no fade, no scale.
4. Title line 2: same style at top y=560; clip start frame 22.
5. Optional soft drop shadow (0,2 offset, 14px blur, 45%) so white type reads over the bright orange backdrop.
6. Easy mistake: adding an ease or fade. The source is two instant switch-ons exactly ten frames apart.

Adaptation changes:
- lineA: Makers &
- lineB: Mentors

## 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.
