What the source does

Over defocused yellow-green footage a bold white chapter title builds as a staircase: '4.' is present at local frame 0, the long verb types from ~f4 to ~f13 on the second step, 'the' pops in whole at ~f9 on the third, and the hyphenated noun types on the fourth step from ~f9 to ~f19. The title holds until ~f47, then the words erase from their left edges in place (the verb reads 'ate' and the noun '-Up' by ~f50, the verb and 'the' are gone by ~f53) while '4.' and the trailing '-Up' fragment remain to the cut.

Staircase chapter title that types on per word and is removed with per-word left-edge wipes that leave the remaining glyphs in place.

Phase notes

  1. Frame 0 — Number visible
  2. Frame 4 — Verb types on
  3. Frame 9 — 'the' pops, noun types on
  4. Frame 19 — Title complete, hold
  5. Frame 47 — Left-edge wipes begin
  6. Frame 53 — Only number and noun fragment remain
  7. Frame 57 — End

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.

Recorded limits

  • Visual fidelity is an authored draft judgement from sampled source frames; no independent blind review or native Resolve execution.
  • Both variants rerendered from the packaged text renderer to repair a prior code/preview mismatch.
