What the source does

Local 0-1 (master 2036-2037) show a performer against the set with no caption. At local 2 (2038) the picture cuts to a second performer and a bold white lyric line appears in the same frame, low and centred. The caption then never changes while the camera pushes closer and, at ~local 67 (2103), the picture hard-cuts again to a wider shot. Above the caption a 28 px dot blinks on for about two frames at successive word positions moving left to right: black at ~f30 (x~548), lilac ~f37 (x~680), green ~f43 (x~800), yellow ~f55 (x~892), blue ~f70 (x~1012), pink ~f79 (x~1120) and orange ~f85 (x~1220). No dot after that; the caption holds to the end.

A caption that is locked to the lyric, not to the picture: it survives two hard cuts while a two-frame beat dot steps across the line in sync with the vocal.

Phase notes

  1. Frame 0 — First performer, no caption
  2. Frame 2 — Cut to second performer; caption on
  3. Frame 30 — Beat dot blips across the words
  4. Frame 67 — Hard cut to wider shot; caption persists
  5. Frame 85 — Last blip, caption holds

Use this example

  1. Watch the source and draft at normal speed. Compare the order of actions, the held states, and the transition into the result.
  2. Download the project and read its README before changing inputs. The package includes its implementation and declared dependencies.
  3. Replace the sample content through the package's documented input or content builder. Keep source footage in the research comparison.
  4. Render your adaptation and inspect text fit, framing, intermediate states, and entry and exit frames.
A runnable draft is not a fidelity approval.

The source and remake are different assets. The original code-based illustration remains editable; source footage is a research reference. Read the retained findings below before using the choreography.
