-description: This skill should be used when the user asks to "make a video ad", "create an animated ad", "build a performance/UGC-style ad", "batch-produce ad creative variations", "generate ad variants for A/B testing", "swap headline/offer/CTA across many ad versions", or "export one ad in multiple aspect ratios for Meta/TikTok/Reels". Covers ad hook structures, hook→CTA message-match, data-driven variant generation (1 template × CSV = N ads), multi-aspect export, and platform specs.

-# Ad Creative Video
-
-Build ONE motion-graphics ad template, then mass-produce variants from a data table — different hooks, offers, CTAs, and products — so a performance marketer can A/B test dozens of versions across placements and aspect ratios. The craft is making the template fully data-driven and message-matched, so 40 variants stay on-brand and only the tested variable changes.
-
-## When to use
-
-- Performance/UGC-style video ads where the first 1.5–3s must stop the scroll.
-- Batch variant generation: one template rendered against many rows (headline/offer/CTA/product swaps) for A/B testing.
-- Multi-aspect export of the same ad for Meta Feed, Reels/Stories, TikTok, YouTube.
-
-Not for sale/discount countdown promos, and not for testimonial/review-driven ads — those are different structures. Stay on the batch-variation, test-everything angle.
-
-## The two rules that make variants worth running
-
-1. **Isolate one variable per variant.** A test only teaches something if exactly one thing changes. Hold layout, motion, colors, and timing constant; swap *only* the field under test (hook, or offer, or CTA). Mixing two changes makes the winner uninterpretable.
-2. **Message-match the hook to the CTA.** The promise made in the first 3 seconds must be the promise the button pays off. A "stop wasting 2 hours a day" hook ends on "Save 2 hours — try free," not a generic "Shop now." The hook and CTA are a matched pair in every row of the data table.
-
-## Ad anatomy (15–30s)
-
-| Beat | Job | Budget |
-|---|---|---|
-| Hook (0–3s) | Stop the scroll; state the problem or pattern-interrupt | 0–3s |
-| Context | Make the viewer feel the problem / agitate | 3–8s |
-| Payoff | Show the product as the solution, one clear benefit | 8–18s |
-| Proof | One concrete number, demo, or result | 18–25s |
-| CTA (last 3s) | Single action, message-matched to the hook | hold ≥2s |
-
-Land the hook's emotional trigger before the 2-second mark — judgment forms in ~1.7s and scroll speed keeps rising. Test the hook FIRST; it moves CPA more than any other element.
-
-## Hook taxonomy (the field you vary most)
-
-| Hook type | Template | When it wins |
-|---|---|---|
-| Problem-first | "I didn't realize how much X was costing me until…" | pain is felt but unnamed |
-| Pattern interrupt | "This is going to sound controversial, but…" | crowded feed, generic category |
-| Curiosity gap | "Nobody talks about the one thing that…" | educated, skeptical audience |
-| Immediate benefit | "Cut your X in half in 7 days" | clear, quantifiable outcome |
-| Direct callout | "If you do X every morning, stop." | sharp audience segment |
-
-Keep a column of 5–10 hook strings and let the batch render produce one ad per hook against the same body — that is the cleanest hook test possible.
-
-## Data-driven template (everything is a prop)
-
-Hardcode nothing the marketer might A/B test. The composition reads a single `variant` object; the renderer never edits the component. Make every animated value a pure function of `useCurrentFrame()` so each frame renders deterministically (no CSS transitions, no library timers — they desync the render).
-
-```tsx
-import {useCurrentFrame, interpolate, AbsoluteFill, useVideoConfig} from "remotion";
-
-type Variant = {hook: string; benefit: string; proof: string; cta: string; bg: string; accent: string};
-
-export const AdTemplate: React.FC<{v: Variant}> = ({v}) => {
-  const frame = useCurrentFrame(); const {fps} = useVideoConfig();
-  const hookIn = interpolate(frame, [0, 8], [40, 0], {extrapolateRight: "clamp"});
-  const ctaIn  = interpolate(frame, [fps * 22, fps * 23], [0, 1], {extrapolateLeft: "clamp", extrapolateRight: "clamp"});
-  return (
-    <AbsoluteFill style={{background: v.bg, fontFamily: "Inter, sans-serif"}}>
-      <h1 style={{transform: `translateY(${hookIn}px)`, opacity: interpolate(frame,[0,8],[0,1])}}>{v.hook}</h1>
-      {frame > fps * 8  && <p>{v.benefit}</p>}
-      {frame > fps * 18 && <strong>{v.proof}</strong>}
-      <button style={{opacity: ctaIn, background: v.accent}}>{v.cta}</button>
-    </AbsoluteFill>
-  );
-};
-```
-
-See `references/batch-ad-pipeline.md` for the complete template, the CSV→props parser with validation, and the brand-lock theme object.
-
-## 1 template × CSV = N variants
-
-The payoff: author the ad once, then let a CSV drive the matrix. Each row is one fully-formed, message-matched variant. Render once per row.
-
-```bash
-# variants.csv: id,hook,benefit,proof,cta,bg,accent  → one MP4 per row
-node csv-to-props.js variants.csv ./props        # writes props/<id>.json per row
-for f in props/*.json; do
-  id=$(basename "$f" .json)
-  npx remotion render AdTemplate "out/${id}.mp4" --props="$f"
-done
-```
-
-To build a clean test matrix, hold every column constant and vary one: 5 hooks × 1 body = 5 ads (hook test); then take the winning hook × 3 CTAs (CTA test). `references/batch-ad-pipeline.md` has a matrix generator that expands variable lists into the CSV so combinatorial tests stay one-variable-at-a-time.
-
-## Multi-aspect export
-
-Each placement wants a native aspect. Compose against a center safe zone so one master reframes cleanly to all of them — don't letterbox, re-center.
-
-| Aspect | Placements | Resolution | Keep-clear safe zone |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| 9:16 | Reels, Stories, TikTok In-Feed | 1080×1920 | top ~14%, bottom ~20–35% (UI/caption), sides ~6% |
-| 4:5 | Meta Feed (best feed real estate) | 1080×1350 | center 90%; CTA out of bottom 10% |
-| 1:1 | Feed, broad reach | 1080×1080 | center square survives every crop |
-| 16:9 | YouTube, in-stream | 1920×1080 | center 90% |
-
-Design the hook text, product, and CTA inside the **1:1 center square** so they survive every crop. Drive aspect from a prop and render each per variant:
-
-```bash
-for ar in 9x16 4x5 1x1; do
-  npx remotion render AdTemplate "out/${id}-${ar}.mp4" --props="props/${id}.json" \
-    --props-merge="{\"aspect\":\"${ar}\"}"
-done
-```
-
-Keep critical content out of the 9:16 bottom third — that is where the platform stacks captions, the CTA button, and the username. `references/platform-specs.md` has exact pixel safe zones and per-platform duration/format limits.
-
-## Output checklist
-
-- One variable per variant; layout/motion/timing identical across a test.
-- Hook lands its trigger before 2s; hook and CTA are message-matched in every row.
-- Every animated value is a pure function of `useCurrentFrame()` — no CSS/library timers.
-- Dataset is a prop; nothing testable is hardcoded; one template renders the whole CSV.
-- Each variant exported 9:16 + 4:5 + 1:1 (+16:9 if needed), key content in the center square.
-- Brand stays locked across all variants via a single theme object.
-
-## Deliver & verify (rendered stills → MP4)
-
-> **Packaged helper** (`scripts/`): tile your stills with `scripts/contact-sheet.sh sheet.png f-hook.png f-mid.png f-end.png`, then assert the encode with `scripts/probe-mp4.sh out.mp4 [WxH] [fps]`. See `scripts/README.md`.
-
-**Output contract:**
-- A Remotion ad template registered as `<Composition>` (+ zod `schema` + `defaultProps`), every animated value frame-driven (no CSS transitions / library timers / `Date.now()` / `Math.random()`).
-- Deliverable = the rendered `out/*.mp4` per variant per aspect (plus the project + CSV, so the marketer re-renders on new rows).
-
-**Verify loop — render stills → inspect → encode.** Cheap PNGs first, full encode only once they're clean. Render with the **shipped** props (the real row), not just `defaultProps`.
-
-```bash
-# Frame-exact stills across the hook→CTA arc, with a real variant's props
-npx remotion still AdTemplate out/f-hook.png --frame=12  --props=props/v1.json   # hook readable < 2s
-npx remotion still AdTemplate out/f-mid.png  --frame=300 --props=props/v1.json   # benefit/proof
-npx remotion still AdTemplate out/f-cta.png  --frame=689 --props=props/v1.json   # CTA, message-matched
-# inspect each: fidelity (hook / offer / proof / CTA text exact, brand bg+accent right)
-#   AND artifacts (text overflow, off-canvas, CTA inside the 9:16 bottom third, missing font, wrong row binding)
-```
-
-**Multi-aspect / batch — verify one variant in EACH aspect before batch-rendering the matrix.** A layout bug repeats across every row × aspect; catch it once.
-
-```bash
-for ar in 9x16 4x5 1x1; do                                  # one representative variant, every target aspect
-  npx remotion still AdTemplate "out/v1-${ar}.png" --frame=300 \
-    --props=props/v1.json --props-merge="{\"aspect\":\"${ar}\"}"
-done
-# stills clean in all aspects? → then batch-render every row × aspect:
-for f in props/*.json; do id=$(basename "$f" .json); for ar in 9x16 4x5 1x1; do
-  npx remotion render AdTemplate "out/${id}-${ar}.mp4" --props="$f" --props-merge="{\"aspect\":\"${ar}\"}"
-done; done
-npx remotion render AdTemplate out/demo.gif --codec=gif --props=props/v1.json   # README demo
-```
-
-**Before you finish:**
-1. `npx remotion still` renders cleanly at hook / mid / CTA — no errors, no missing fonts/assets.
-2. Hook/offer/proof/CTA text exact and brand colors right; nothing in the 9:16 bottom third or outside the center safe zone.
-3. Frame-driven only — no CSS/library timers, `Date.now()`, or `Math.random()`.
-4. Shipped row's props render correctly (not just `defaultProps`); one variable per variant holds.
-5. One variant verified in 9:16 + 4:5 + 1:1 before the batch; MP4s play; (optional) GIF for the README.

-# Batch Ad Pipeline — full template, parser, matrix, render
-
-This is the complete, runnable implementation behind the SKILL.md overview: a data-driven Remotion ad template, a CSV→props parser with validation, a one-variable test-matrix generator, a brand-lock theme, and the batch + multi-aspect render scripts. Hardcode nothing a marketer might want to A/B test.
-
-## 1. The brand-lock theme
-
-Keep every brand-controlled value in one object so 40 variants stay consistent and only the *tested* fields change per row. The variant data supplies copy and per-campaign accents; the theme supplies the locked look.
-
-```ts
-// theme.ts
-export const theme = {
-  fontFamily: "Inter, system-ui, sans-serif",
-  ink: "#0B0B0F",
-  paper: "#FFFFFF",
-  radius: 20,
-  hookSize: 76,    // px, on the 1080-wide master
-  bodySize: 44,
-  proofSize: 52,
-  ctaSize: 40,
-  pad: 80,         // outer padding; also the side safe margin
-  durationInSeconds: 25,
-} as const;
-```
-
-## 2. Aspect config
-
-Drive layout from a single aspect prop so one composition reframes to every placement. Dimensions and the keep-clear bottom band differ per aspect.
-
-```ts
-// aspects.ts
-export type Aspect = "9x16" | "4x5" | "1x1" | "16x9";
-export const ASPECTS: Record<Aspect, {w: number; h: number; bottomSafe: number}> = {
-  "9x16": {w: 1080, h: 1920, bottomSafe: 540}, // captions + CTA + username stack here
-  "4x5":  {w: 1080, h: 1350, bottomSafe: 135},
-  "1x1":  {w: 1080, h: 1080, bottomSafe: 110},
-  "16x9": {w: 1920, h: 1080, bottomSafe: 110},
-};
-```
-
-## 3. The data-driven template
-
-Every animated value is a pure function of `useCurrentFrame()` — no CSS transitions, no GSAP/library timers (they desync deterministic rendering and flicker in the export). The component reads one `variant` plus an `aspect`; the renderer never edits this file.
-
-```tsx
-// AdTemplate.tsx
-import {
-  AbsoluteFill, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig, interpolate, spring, Sequence,
-} from "remotion";
-import {theme} from "./theme";
-import {ASPECTS, Aspect} from "./aspects";
-
-export type Variant = {
-  id: string;
-  hook: string;      // 0–3s scroll-stopper
-  benefit: string;   // the single payoff claim
-  proof: string;     // one concrete number / result
-  cta: string;       // message-matched to the hook
-  accent: string;    // per-campaign accent color
-  bg: string;        // background color
-};
-
-export const AdTemplate: React.FC<{v: Variant; aspect: Aspect}> = ({v, aspect}) => {
-  const frame = useCurrentFrame();
-  const {fps} = useVideoConfig();
-  const {bottomSafe} = ASPECTS[aspect];
-
-  // Hook rises + fades in over the first 8 frames, holds, then eases up and out at 8s.
-  const hookY = interpolate(frame, [0, 8], [48, 0], {extrapolateRight: "clamp"});
-  const hookOpacity =
-    interpolate(frame, [0, 8], [0, 1], {extrapolateRight: "clamp"}) *
-    interpolate(frame, [fps * 7, fps * 8], [1, 0], {extrapolateLeft: "clamp", extrapolateRight: "clamp"});
-
-  // CTA springs in for impact in the last 3s and holds.
-  const ctaProgress = spring({frame: frame - fps * 22, fps, config: {damping: 14, stiffness: 120}});
-
-  return (
-    <AbsoluteFill style={{backgroundColor: v.bg, fontFamily: theme.fontFamily, color: theme.ink}}>
-      <AbsoluteFill style={{padding: theme.pad, paddingBottom: bottomSafe, justifyContent: "center"}}>
-
-        {/* HOOK 0–8s */}
-        <Sequence durationInFrames={fps * 8}>
-          <h1 style={{fontSize: theme.hookSize, fontWeight: 800, lineHeight: 1.05,
-                      transform: `translateY(${hookY}px)`, opacity: hookOpacity}}>
-            {v.hook}
-          </h1>
-        </Sequence>

-        </Sequence>
-
-        {/* CTA last 3s, message-matched to the hook */}
-        <Sequence from={fps * 22}>
-          <button style={{
-            alignSelf: "flex-start", marginTop: 40, padding: "22px 44px",

-        </Sequence>
-      </AbsoluteFill>
-    </AbsoluteFill>
-  );
-};
-
-const FadeUp: React.FC<{children: React.ReactNode; delay: number}> = ({children, delay}) => {
-  const frame = useCurrentFrame();
-  const o = interpolate(frame - delay, [0, 10], [0, 1], {extrapolateLeft: "clamp", extrapolateRight: "clamp"});
-  const y = interpolate(frame - delay, [0, 10], [24, 0], {extrapolateLeft: "clamp", extrapolateRight: "clamp"});
-  return <div style={{opacity: o, transform: `translateY(${y}px)`}}>{children}</div>;
-};
-```
-
-## 4. Register the composition (aspect + variant as props)
-
-```tsx
-// Root.tsx
-import {Composition} from "remotion";
-import {AdTemplate} from "./AdTemplate";
-import {ASPECTS} from "./aspects";
-import {theme} from "./theme";
-
-const defaultVariant = {
-  id: "demo", hook: "Spending 2 hrs/day on reports?", benefit: "Auto-build them in one click.",
-  proof: "Teams save 11 hrs a week.", cta: "Save 2 hours — try free", accent: "#4F46E5", bg: "#FFFFFF",
-};
-
-export const RemotionRoot = () => {
-  const aspect = "9x16" as const; // overridden per-render via --props
-  const {w, h} = ASPECTS[aspect];
-  return (
-    <Composition
-      id="AdTemplate"
-      component={AdTemplate}
-      durationInFrames={theme.durationInSeconds * 30}
-      fps={30}
-      width={w}
-      height={h}
-      defaultProps={{v: defaultVariant, aspect}}
-      // Resolve real dimensions from the incoming aspect prop at render time:
-      calculateMetadata={({props}) => {
-        const a = ASPECTS[(props as any).aspect ?? "9x16"];
-        return {width: a.w, height: a.h};
-      }}
-    />
-  );
-};
-```
-
-`calculateMetadata` lets a single composition output any aspect from the `aspect` prop — no separate composition per ratio.
-
-## 5. CSV → typed props, with validation
-
-The dataset is the input. Parse, validate every row (a bad hex or empty CTA must fail loudly, not render a broken ad), and write one props file per variant.
-
-```js
-// csv-to-props.js   usage: node csv-to-props.js variants.csv ./props [aspect]
-const fs = require("fs");
-const path = require("path");
-
-const [, , csvPath, outDir, aspect = "9x16"] = process.argv;
-const REQUIRED = ["id", "hook", "benefit", "proof", "cta", "accent", "bg"];
-const isHex = (s) => /^#([0-9a-f]{3}|[0-9a-f]{6})$/i.test(s);
-
-const parseCSV = (text) => {
-  const [head, ...lines] = text.trim().split(/\r?\n/);
-  const cols = head.split(",").map((c) => c.trim());
-  return lines.filter(Boolean).map((line) => {
-    // simple split; wrap fields containing commas in double quotes in the CSV
-    const cells = line.match(/("([^"]|"")*"|[^,]*)/g).filter((_, i, a) => i < a.length - 1);
-    const row = {};
-    cols.forEach((c, i) => (row[c] = (cells[i] ?? "").replace(/^"|"$/g, "").replace(/""/g, '"').trim()));
-    return row;
-  });
-};
-
-const rows = parseCSV(fs.readFileSync(csvPath, "utf8"));
-fs.mkdirSync(outDir, {recursive: true});
-
-const seen = new Set();
-let errors = 0;
-rows.forEach((row, n) => {
-  const where = `row ${n + 2} (${row.id || "no-id"})`;
-  REQUIRED.forEach((k) => { if (!row[k]) { console.error(`✗ ${where}: missing "${k}"`); errors++; } });
-  if (seen.has(row.id)) { console.error(`✗ ${where}: duplicate id`); errors++; }
-  seen.add(row.id);
-  if (row.hook && row.hook.length > 60) console.warn(`⚠ ${where}: hook >60 chars may clip in 9:16`);
-  ["accent", "bg"].forEach((k) => { if (row[k] && !isHex(row[k])) { console.error(`✗ ${where}: "${k}" not a hex color`); errors++; } });
-  if (errors) return;
-  fs.writeFileSync(path.join(outDir, `${row.id}.json`), JSON.stringify({v: row, aspect}, null, 2));
-});
-
-if (errors) { console.error(`\n${errors} error(s) — no broken ads written.`); process.exit(1); }
-console.log(`✓ ${rows.length} variant prop files written to ${outDir}`);
-```
-
-Example `variants.csv` (one fully message-matched ad per row):
-
-```csv
-id,hook,benefit,proof,cta,accent,bg
-v01_problem,Spending 2 hrs/day on reports?,Auto-build them in one click.,Teams save 11 hrs a week.,Save 2 hours — try free,#4F46E5,#FFFFFF
-v02_interrupt,Your reporting tool is lying to you.,See the real numbers instantly.,Teams save 11 hrs a week.,See the real numbers — free,#DC2626,#0B0B0F
-v03_curiosity,Nobody talks about this reporting trick.,One click builds the whole report.,Teams save 11 hrs a week.,Try the trick — free,#059669,#FFFFFF
-```
-
-Note the CTA mirrors the hook in every row — that is the message-match discipline encoded into the data.
-
-## 6. Test-matrix generator — one variable at a time
-
-A test only teaches something if exactly one field changes. This expands a base variant plus a list of values for ONE field into a CSV, so a hook test or a CTA test stays clean and combinatorial mistakes are impossible.
-
-```js
-// make-matrix.js   usage: node make-matrix.js > variants.csv
-const base = {benefit: "Auto-build them in one click.", proof: "Teams save 11 hrs a week.",
-              cta: "Save 2 hours — try free", accent: "#4F46E5", bg: "#FFFFFF"};
-
-// Vary ONLY this field; everything else is held identical across the test.
-const FIELD = "hook";
-const values = [
-  "Spending 2 hrs/day on reports?",
-  "Your reporting tool is lying to you.",
-  "Nobody talks about this reporting trick.",
-  "Cut report time in half this week.",
-  "If you build reports by hand, stop.",
-];
-
-const esc = (s) => (/[",]/.test(s) ? `"${s.replace(/"/g, '""')}"` : s);
-const cols = ["id", "hook", "benefit", "proof", "cta", "accent", "bg"];
-console.log(cols.join(","));
-values.forEach((val, i) => {
-  const row = {...base, [FIELD]: val, id: `${FIELD}_${String(i + 1).padStart(2, "0")}`};
-  console.log(cols.map((c) => esc(row[c])).join(","));
-});
-```
-
-To run a CTA test next, set `FIELD = "cta"`, paste the *winning* hook into `base.hook`, and list CTA variants. Same one-variable rule, next stage of the funnel.
-
-## 7. Batch + multi-aspect render
-
-Render every variant in every aspect a campaign needs. Concurrency keeps large batches fast.
-
-```bash
-#!/usr/bin/env bash
-# render-all.sh   one MP4 per (variant × aspect)
-set -euo pipefail
-
-node make-matrix.js > variants.csv          # 1) build the one-variable test matrix
-ASPECTS=("9x16" "4x5" "1x1")                 # placements this campaign needs
-
-for ar in "${ASPECTS[@]}"; do
-  node csv-to-props.js variants.csv "props/$ar" "$ar"   # 2) typed, validated props per aspect
-  for f in "props/$ar"/*.json; do
-    id=$(basename "$f" .json)
-    npx remotion render AdTemplate "out/${id}_${ar}.mp4" \
-      --props="$f" --concurrency=4 --log=error              # 3) render
-  done
-done
-
-echo "Done. $(ls out/*.mp4 | wc -l) ad variants in ./out"
-```
-
-5 hooks × 3 aspects = 15 MP4s from one template and one command. Add a CTA stage and the same template produces the next test wave with zero new component code.
-
-## Common pitfalls

-- **Two variables changed at once** — the winner is uninterpretable. The matrix generator prevents this; keep using it.
-- **Hook clips in 9:16** — long hooks overflow; the parser warns past 60 chars. Keep hooks short and high in the frame.
-- **CTA hidden behind platform UI** — anything in the 9:16 bottom third gets covered by captions and the CTA button. The `bottomSafe` padding reserves that band.
-- **Drift across variants** — accent/copy live in the data, everything else in `theme`. If a variant looks off-brand, the fix is the theme, not the row.
-- **Animation flicker in export** — caused by CSS transitions or library timers. Every value must derive from `useCurrentFrame()`.

-# Platform Specs & Message-Match Worksheet
-
-Exact pixel safe zones, durations, aspect ratios, and format limits per placement (2025/2026), plus a worksheet for building message-matched hook→CTA pairs before they go into the CSV. Verify against each platform's current Ads Manager docs before a big spend — placements and safe zones shift.
-
-## Aspect ratio → placement map
-
-| Aspect | Resolution | Native placements |
-|---|---|---|
-| 9:16 | 1080×1920 | TikTok In-Feed, Instagram/Facebook Reels, Stories, YouTube Shorts |
-| 4:5 | 1080×1350 | Meta Feed (largest feed real estate, recommended for Feed video) |
-| 1:1 | 1080×1080 | Meta Feed, broad/automatic placements, X |
-| 16:9 | 1920×1080 | YouTube in-stream, landscape feed, in-article |
-
-Master rule: design the hook, product, and CTA inside the **1:1 center square** so a single composition reframes to every aspect by re-centering, not letterboxing. Black bars on a vertical feed read as "ad" and underperform.
-
-## Safe zones (keep-clear bands)
-
-Platform UI — captions, CTA chips, usernames, profile icons, progress bars — overlaps the frame. Keep all critical content out of these bands.
-
-| Aspect / placement | Top keep-clear | Bottom keep-clear | Sides |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| 9:16 Reels/Stories (Meta) | ~14% (~270px on 1920h) | ~20–35% (~384–672px) | ~6% (~65px) |
-| 9:16 TikTok In-Feed | ~130px | ~484px (right-side icon rail + caption) | right ~140px |
-| 4:5 Meta Feed | ~5% | ~10% (keep CTA above it) | ~5% |
-| 1:1 / 16:9 | center 90% safe | center 90% safe | center 90% safe |
-
-The 9:16 bottom third is the single most violated zone — captions, the CTA button, and the handle stack there. The `bottomSafe` padding in `batch-ad-pipeline.md` reserves it.
-
-## Duration & format limits
-
-| Placement | Sweet spot | Hard limits | Format |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| Meta Feed (4:5/1:1) | 6–15s | up to 240 min, ≤4GB | MP4/MOV, H.264 |
-| Meta Reels/Stories (9:16) | 8–15s | Reels ≤90s, Stories ≤2 min | MP4/MOV |
-| TikTok In-Feed (9:16) | 15–30s (TikTok cites 21–34s) | up to 10 min (non-Spark) | MP4/MOV, ≥540×960 |
-| YouTube in-stream (16:9) | 15–30s | skippable after 5s | MP4 |
-
-Practical default for performance video: **15–30s, with the hook trigger landing before 2s.** Most ad-account data shows attention falls off a cliff after ~15s, so front-load everything that matters.
-
-## Hook → CTA message-match worksheet
-
-Fill one row per ad *before* writing the CSV. The CTA must pay off the exact promise the hook made; if it doesn't, the click is wasted and the test is noisy. Each completed row becomes one record in `variants.csv`.
-
-| Hook (0–3s promise) | Hook type | Single benefit | Proof point | CTA (pays off the hook) |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| "Spending 2 hrs/day on reports?" | problem-first | one-click report build | "save 11 hrs/week" | "Save 2 hours — try free" |
-| "Your reporting tool is lying to you." | pattern interrupt | shows real numbers instantly | "save 11 hrs/week" | "See the real numbers — free" |
-| "Nobody talks about this reporting trick." | curiosity gap | one click builds it | "save 11 hrs/week" | "Try the trick — free" |
-| "Cut report time in half this week." | immediate benefit | auto-built reports | "save 11 hrs/week" | "Cut it in half — free" |
-| "If you build reports by hand, stop." | direct callout | automate it now | "save 11 hrs/week" | "Automate yours — free" |
-
-Bad pairing to avoid: a "stop wasting 2 hours" hook ending on a generic "Shop now" — the promise and the payoff don't connect, so even a great hook converts poorly.
-
-## Testing order (which field to vary first)
-
-Run tests in funnel order; isolate one field per wave using the matrix generator:
-
-1. **Hook** — biggest lever on CPA; test 5–8 hooks against one identical body.
-2. **Offer / benefit** — take the winning hook, vary the core promise.
-3. **CTA** — winning hook + offer, vary the closing action.
-4. **Format / aspect** — same winning ad, compare placements.
-
-Budget guide many teams use: ~60% to proven winners, ~30% to variations of winners, ~10% to fresh concepts. Run each test long enough for a real sample (commonly several hundred impressions per variant, ~1 week to smooth daily swings) before declaring a winner.
-
-## Pre-flight checklist per variant
-
-- Hook trigger lands before 2s and fits the frame (≤~60 chars in 9:16).
-- CTA visibly pays off the hook's specific promise.
-- Critical content inside the center square and outside every keep-clear band.
-- Duration within the placement's sweet spot.
-- Exported in every aspect the campaign's placements require.
-- Exactly one field differs from the other variants in this test wave.

-# Launch Video
-
-Make a premium, high-energy 15–60s launch film that stops the scroll and converts. Build the classic arc — hook → tease → reveal → feature montage → end-card CTA — cut to the music, and export for every platform aspect.
-
-## When to use
-
-- Product drops, feature announcements, trailers, hype reels (15–60s).
-- "Sizzle" hero videos for a landing page.
-- Beat-synced reveals where the brand moment lands on the drop.
-
-## The arc
-
-| Beat | Job | Typical share (of 30s) |
-|---|---|---|
-| Hook (0–3s) | A striking frame/motion that stops the scroll | 0–3s |
-| Tease | Hint the product; build curiosity, beat-synced | 3–9s |
-| Reveal | Product/logo hits on the music drop | 9–13s |
-| Feature montage | Fast, kinetic, one benefit per shot | 13–25s |
-| End card | Logo + tagline + CTA, clean hold | 25–30s |
-
-Scale the same proportions for 15s (tighter) or 60s (longer montage, never a longer hook).
-
-## Two non-negotiable rules
-
-1. **Sound design leads picture.** Lock the track first, mark the beats and the drop, then cut visuals to those marks. Never score a finished cut — the reveal lands on the drop, not near it.
-2. **Quality over quantity.** A few flawless shots beat many mediocre ones. Cut any shot that isn't premium.
-
-## Beat-synced reveal on the drop
-
-Find the drop's exact timecode in the audio, then time the reveal so the brand mark snaps to full at that frame, with a micro-overshoot for impact.
-
-```js
-import gsap from "gsap";
-const DROP = 9.0; // seconds, measured from the track
-const tl = gsap.timeline({ paused: true });
-// tease builds tension up to the drop
-tl.to(".tease", { opacity: 1, scale: 1.05, duration: DROP, ease: "power1.in" })
-// reveal SNAPS on the drop frame
-  .set(".logo", { opacity: 1 }, DROP)
-  .fromTo(".logo", { scale: 1.18 }, { scale: 1.0, duration: .18, ease: "power3.out" }, DROP)
-  .fromTo(".flash", { opacity: .9 }, { opacity: 0, duration: .25 }, DROP); // white hit
-audio.addEventListener("play", () => tl.play());
-```
-
-Cut on transients, not on a fixed grid: the hardest cuts go on kick/snare hits; ramp speed (time-remap) into the drop, then hard-cut out of it.
-
-## Kinetic feature montage
-
-One benefit per shot, ~0.6–1.0s each, hard cuts on the beat. Each shot = a bold keyword + a single supporting visual.
-
-```css
-.feature { opacity:0; }
-.feature.in .kw   { animation: pop .35s cubic-bezier(.22,1,.36,1) forwards; }
-.feature.in .word { display:inline-block; }
-@keyframes pop { from { opacity:0; transform:translateY(24px) } to { opacity:1; transform:none } }
-```
-
-```js
-// drive shots off beat marks measured from the track
-const beats = [13.0, 13.8, 14.6, 15.4, 16.2]; // seconds
-beats.forEach((t, i) => scheduleAt(t, () => showFeature(i)));
-```
-
-Keep one motion language across the montage (same enter curve, same exit) so speed reads as confidence, not chaos.
-
-## End card
-
-Hold the logo + tagline + CTA still and clean for ≥2s. No busy motion competing with the CTA; let the brand settle. Land the brand moment on the strongest remaining beat, then a crisp button/URL.
-
-## Multi-aspect export
-
-Compose with a center safe zone so one master crops cleanly to all aspects.
-
-| Aspect | Use | Resolution | Safe zone |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| 16:9 | YouTube, landing hero, X | 1920×1080 | keep key content within center 90% |
-| 9:16 | Reels, TikTok, Shorts, Stories | 1080×1920 | text within center 80% h; avoid top 12% / bottom 18% (UI) |
-| 1:1 | Feed posts | 1080×1080 | center square of the 16:9 frame |
-
-Design the hero/logo/CTA inside the **1:1 center square** so it survives every crop. Render the 16:9 master, then reframe (don't just letterbox) 9:16 and 1:1 from the same project.
-
-## Output checklist
-
-- Track locked first; reveal lands exactly on the drop.
-- Hook earns the first 3 seconds.
-- Montage: one benefit per shot, hard cuts on beats, consistent motion language.
-- End card holds ≥2s with one clear CTA.
-- 16:9 + 9:16 + 1:1 exports, key content in the center safe zone.
-- Premium-only shots — nothing mediocre survives the cut.
-
-## Deliver & verify (rendered stills → MP4)
-
-> **Packaged helper** (`scripts/`): tile your stills with `scripts/contact-sheet.sh sheet.png f-hook.png f-mid.png f-end.png`, then assert the encode with `scripts/probe-mp4.sh out.mp4 [WxH] [fps]`. See `scripts/README.md`.
-
-If the launch film is built/rendered in Remotion, treat it as the heavy tier: register a `<Composition>` (+ zod `schema` + `defaultProps`), drive every value off `useCurrentFrame()` — no GSAP timelines / audio-event callbacks / `Date.now()` / `Math.random()` at render time (bake beat + drop timecodes into props). Deliverable = the rendered `out/*.mp4` per aspect (plus the project).
-
-**Verify loop — render stills → inspect → encode.** Sample the arc, with the **shipped** props (real headline/tagline/CTA), not just `defaultProps`.
-
-```bash
-# Frame-exact stills across hook → reveal → end-card
-npx remotion still Launch out/f-hook.png   --frame=24  --props=props/launch.json   # hook earns first 3s
-npx remotion still Launch out/f-reveal.png --frame=270 --props=props/launch.json   # logo SNAPS on the drop frame
-npx remotion still Launch out/f-end.png    --frame=899 --props=props/launch.json   # end card: logo+tagline+CTA, clean hold
-# inspect each: fidelity (product/logo, tagline, CTA text exact, brand colors right, reveal at the drop frame)
-#   AND artifacts (text overflow, off-canvas, CTA in the 9:16 bottom third, missing font, flash frame stuck on)
-```
-
-**Multi-aspect — verify the master in EACH aspect before encoding all of them.** A reframe bug (hero pushed off the safe zone) repeats across every aspect; catch it once.
-
-```bash
-for ar in 16x9 9x16 1x1; do                                 # check reveal + end card per aspect
-  npx remotion still Launch "out/reveal-${ar}.png" --frame=270 \
-    --props=props/launch.json --props-merge="{\"aspect\":\"${ar}\"}"
-done
-# stills clean in all aspects? → then encode each:
-for ar in 16x9 9x16 1x1; do
-  npx remotion render Launch "out/launch-${ar}.mp4" --props=props/launch.json --props-merge="{\"aspect\":\"${ar}\"}"
-done
-npx remotion render Launch out/demo.gif --codec=gif --props=props/launch.json   # README demo
-```
-
-**Before you finish:**
-1. `npx remotion still` renders cleanly at hook / reveal / end card — no errors, no missing fonts/assets.
-2. Logo/tagline/CTA text exact, brand colors right; reveal lands on the drop frame; key content inside the center safe zone, clear of the 9:16 bottom third.
-3. Frame-driven only — no GSAP/audio-callback timing, `Date.now()`, or `Math.random()` (beats/drop baked into props).
-4. Shipped props render correctly (not just `defaultProps`); the end card holds ≥2s with one CTA.
-5. Master verified in 16:9 + 9:16 + 1:1 before encoding; MP4s play; (optional) GIF for the README.

-Shot-by-shot template, beat-sync timing, montage recipes, and multi-aspect maps for a premium 15–60s launch film.
-
-## Sound-design-leads-picture workflow
-
-1. **Pick/commission the track first.** The track defines the film's length and energy.
-2. **Mark the structure in the audio**: intro, build, the **drop** (the single biggest moment), and the kick/snare transients through the montage. Note exact timecodes.
-3. **Map beats → cuts.** Hard cuts land on transients; the reveal lands on the drop frame.
-4. **Build picture to the marks.** Never finish a cut and then look for music. Score-first guarantees the reveal hits.
-5. **Mix last**: add risers into the drop, an impact/whoosh on the reveal, and let the end-card breathe (drop music low, or a clean tag).
-
-## Shot-by-shot template — 30s film (scalable)
-
-```
-00:00–00:03  HOOK
-  Visual : single striking frame — extreme close detail / impossible motion
-  Motion : slow push-in or a fast whip that resolves; NO logo yet
-  Audio  : sub-bass swell begins, sparse
-  Cut    : on first audible beat at ~03s
-
-00:03–00:09  TEASE
-  Visual : fragments/silhouettes of the product, never the full thing
-  Motion : light leaks, partial reveals, parallax; tension rising
-  Audio  : riser building toward the drop
-  Cut    : quick cuts accelerating into the drop
-
-00:09–00:13  REVEAL  ← THE DROP at 00:09
-  Visual : product/logo SNAPS to full on the drop frame
-  Motion : scale 1.18→1.0 over 0.18s + white flash-out; settle clean
-  Audio  : drop hits + impact stinger on the exact frame
-  Hold   : let it sit ~1.2s before moving
-
-00:13–00:25  FEATURE MONTAGE
-  Visual : one benefit per shot, ~0.6–1.0s each (≈8–10 shots)
-  Motion : bold keyword pop + one supporting visual; consistent enter/exit
-  Audio  : hard cuts on kick/snare; energy sustained
-  Pattern: KEYWORD + UI/product moment, repeat with rhythm
-
-00:25–00:30  END CARD
-  Visual : logo + tagline + CTA, centered, still
-  Motion : minimal — a soft settle, then hold ≥2s
-  Audio  : music resolves; clean sonic tag
-  CTA    : one action (URL or button), nothing competing
-```
-
-### Re-proportioning
-
-- **15s**: Hook 0–2s · Tease 2–5s · Reveal 5–7s · Montage 7–12s (4–5 shots) · End card 12–15s.
-- **60s**: same hook (still ≤3s) · longer tease and a richer montage (14–16 shots, grouped in waves) · end card ≥3s.
-
-The hook never gets longer — only the montage scales.
-
-## Beat-synced reveal (timing detail)
-
-```js
-import gsap from "gsap";
-const DROP = 9.0;                 // measured drop timecode (s)
-const tl = gsap.timeline({ paused: true });
-
-// build tension toward the drop
-tl.fromTo(".tease", { scale: 1.0, opacity: .6 },
-                    { scale: 1.08, opacity: 1, duration: DROP, ease: "power1.in" });
-
-// REVEAL exactly on the drop
-tl.set(".logo",  { opacity: 1 }, DROP);
-tl.fromTo(".logo",  { scale: 1.18 }, { scale: 1.0, duration: .18, ease: "power3.out" }, DROP);
-tl.fromTo(".flash", { opacity: .9 },  { opacity: 0, duration: .25, ease: "power2.out" }, DROP);
-tl.to(".tease", { opacity: 0, duration: .12 }, DROP);
-
-// hold the reveal
-tl.to(".logo", { scale: 1.0, duration: 1.2 }); // dwell
-
-audio.addEventListener("play", () => tl.play());
-```
-
-Speed-ramp into the drop (Remotion time-remap idea): play the last ~0.5s of the tease faster, then hard-cut to the reveal on the drop frame for a snap.
-
-## Kinetic montage shot recipe
-
-Each shot: a bold keyword + one product/UI visual, ~0.6–1.0s, hard cut on the beat.
-
-```css
-.feature { position:absolute; inset:0; opacity:0; }
-.feature.in { opacity:1; }
-.feature .word { display:inline-block; opacity:0; transform:translateY(26px); }
-.feature.in .word { animation: pop .32s cubic-bezier(.22,1,.36,1) forwards; }
-.feature.in .word:nth-child(2){ animation-delay:.04s }
-.feature.in .word:nth-child(3){ animation-delay:.08s }
-@keyframes pop { to { opacity:1; transform:none; } }
-```
-
-```js
-// schedule shots on measured beat marks
-const beats = [13.0, 13.8, 14.6, 15.4, 16.2, 17.0, 17.8, 18.6]; // seconds
-let i = 0;
-function loop(now){
-  const t = (now - start) / 1000;
-  if (i < beats.length && t >= beats[i]) { showFeature(i); i++; }
-  if (i < beats.length) requestAnimationFrame(loop);
-}
-```
-
-Montage discipline: keep ONE enter curve and ONE exit across all shots; vary content, never grammar. Alternate visual rhythm (full-frame ↔ detail) but keep cut cadence locked to the beat.
-
-## Multi-aspect safe-area maps
-
-Compose so a single master reframes to every aspect. Place hero/logo/CTA inside the smallest common safe zone — the 1:1 center square.
-
-```
-16:9  1920×1080
-  Safe: center 90% (96px H / 54px V margins)
-  Use : YouTube, landing hero, X timeline
-
-9:16  1080×1920
-  Safe: text within center 80% height
-  Avoid: top 12% (status/clock area), bottom 18% (caption + UI buttons)
-  Use : Reels, TikTok, Shorts, Stories
-
-1:1   1080×1080
-  Safe: this square == the design anchor; put logo/CTA here
-  Use : feed posts
-```
-
-Export workflow:
-
-1. Build the 16:9 master with all key content inside the 1:1 center square.
-2. For 9:16, **reframe** (pan/scale per shot to keep the subject centered) — do not letterbox.
-3. For 1:1, crop the center square; verify text isn't clipped.
-4. Re-check captions/CTA against each platform's UI overlay zones before export.
-
-## Final QA checklist
-
-- [ ] Reveal lands on the exact drop frame, with overshoot + flash.
-- [ ] Hook holds attention in the first 3s without showing the product.
-- [ ] Every montage shot is one benefit, premium quality, on a beat.
-- [ ] End card holds ≥2s, single CTA, nothing competing.
-- [ ] 16:9 / 9:16 / 1:1 each pass safe-area and caption checks.
-- [ ] Audio mixed: riser → impact on drop → clean tag on end card.

-# Testimonial Video
-
-Animate a written quote, review, or testimonial into a short, trustworthy social-proof clip. The craft is typographic, not flashy: a clean quote card where the words land in reading order, the key phrase gets emphasis exactly when it should, the stars fill to the real score, and the author signs off. One card design, driven by props, becomes a video for every review on the list.
-
-## When to use
-
-- Customer review → a 6–12s vertical/feed clip (the headline use case).
-- A pull-quote or testimonial graphic with author name, role, avatar, company.
-- An animated star rating (including half/fractional scores like 4.5).
-- A batch: a list/CSV of reviews → one video each, same template.
-
-Do **not** reach here for sale/discount promos or generic ad creative — this skill is strictly the quote / social-proof angle.
-
-## The one rule: trust before motion
-
-A testimonial earns its job by feeling *real*, not produced. Restraint reads as credibility; over-animation reads as an ad people skip.
-
-1. **Reveal in reading order.** The eye must finish a line before the next arrives. Stagger lines (or clauses), never all words at once, and never reorder for visual flair.
-2. **Quote the words exactly.** Do not paraphrase, trim mid-sentence, or invent a rating. If you emphasize a phrase, it must be the customer's phrase.
-3. **The author is the proof.** A quote with no attributable human is just a slogan. Name + role + company (and avatar if real) is non-negotiable.
-
-## The anatomy of a quote card
-
-| Element | Job | Timing |
-|---|---|---|
-| Quote mark motif | Signals "this is a quote" before words read | Frame 0, scales/fades in first |
-| Quote body | The testimonial, revealed line-by-line | Staggered, ~6–10 frames apart |
-| Emphasis span | The one phrase that sells | Lands *after* its line settles |
-| Star rating | The score, filled to the real value | Fills left→right after the quote |
-| Author block | Name / role / company / avatar | Signs off last, slides up |
-
-Build in that order; reveal in that order. The viewer reads the quote, believes it, sees the score, then learns who said it.
-
-## Staggered line reveal
-
-Split the quote into lines (or clauses), then offset each one's entrance. In Remotion, drive every line off `useCurrentFrame()` so it renders deterministically — never a CSS transition or a JS timer, which desync from the frame renderer.
-
-```jsx
-import { useCurrentFrame, spring, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
-
-const QuoteBody = ({ lines, startAt = 8, stagger = 6 }) => {
-  const frame = useCurrentFrame();
-  const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
-  return (
-    <blockquote>
-      {lines.map((line, i) => {
-        const enter = spring({ frame: frame - startAt - i * stagger, fps,
-          config: { damping: 200 } });           // 0→1, no overshoot
-        return (
-          <span key={i} style={{ display: "block",
-            opacity: enter,
-            transform: `translateY(${(1 - enter) * 14}px)` }}>
-            {line}
-          </span>
-        );
-      })}
-    </blockquote>
-  );
-};
-```
-
-Keep one motion language: same easing, same 14px rise, every line. Speed reads as confidence only when it's consistent. See `references/quote-card.md` for the full composition.
-
-## Kinetic emphasis on the key phrase
-
-Pick the single phrase that carries the testimonial ("saved us 10 hours a week") and let it arrive *after* its line has settled — a highlight sweep, a weight shift, or a color pop. Emphasis competing with the reveal cancels both.

-const sweep = interpolate(frame, [hlStart, hlStart + 10], [0, 100],
-  { extrapolateLeft: "clamp", extrapolateRight: "clamp" });
-// a highlighter wiping in behind the phrase, left→right
-<mark style={{ background:
-  `linear-gradient(90deg, var(--accent) ${sweep}%, transparent ${sweep}%)`,
-  color: "inherit", padding: "0 .08em" }}>{phrase}</mark>
-```
-
-Emphasize at most one span per quote. Two highlights is no highlight.
-
-## Animated star rating (fractional)
-
-Render the real score, including halves. Use one full row of star glyphs as a mask, then wipe a filled layer to `rating / max` width — this handles 4.5 as cleanly as 5.0, with no half-star sprite.
-
-```jsx
-const StarRating = ({ rating, max = 5, fillStart = 30, fillDur = 14 }) => {
-  const frame = useCurrentFrame();
-  const target = (rating / max) * 100;
-  const w = interpolate(frame, [fillStart, fillStart + fillDur], [0, target],
-    { extrapolateLeft: "clamp", extrapolateRight: "clamp" });
-  return (
-    <div className="stars" role="img" aria-label={`${rating} out of ${max} stars`}>
-      <div className="track">★★★★★</div>
-      <div className="fill" style={{ width: `${w}%` }}>★★★★★</div>
-    </div>
-  );
-};
-```
-
-```css
-.stars { position: relative; display: inline-block; font-size: 40px; letter-spacing: 4px; }
-.track { color: rgba(255,255,255,.22); }
-.fill  { position: absolute; inset: 0; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap;
-         color: var(--accent); }   /* clipped by width → fractional fill */
-```
-
-Fill left→right after the quote reads. Never animate stars before the words — the score must feel earned, not pre-loaded. Always set `aria-label` to the real value.
-
-## The author block
-
-Sign off last. The block slides up under the stars and holds still — stillness is what makes attribution read as fact.
-
-```jsx
-<figcaption className="author">
-  {avatar && <img src={avatar} alt="" className="avatar" />}
-  <div>
-    <span className="name">{name}</span>
-    <span className="role">{role}{company && `, ${company}`}</span>
-  </div>
-</figcaption>
-```
-
-Use a real avatar or none — a generic placeholder face actively destroys trust. Name is the loudest line in the block; role/company is secondary weight.
-
-## Template × reviews — one video per quote
-
-The payoff: make every field a prop, hardcode nothing, then render once per review.
-
-```jsx
-export const Testimonial = ({ quote, highlight, rating, name, role, company, avatar }) => { /* … */ };
-```
-```bash
-for f in reviews/*.json; do
-  npx remotion render Testimonial "out/$(basename "$f" .json).mp4" --props="$f"
-done
-```
-
-Keep colors/fonts/quote-mark/layout in one theme object so 50 testimonials stay brand-locked and only the words and score change. See `references/batch-and-typography.md` for the review schema, CSV→props parsing, quote-typography craft (smart quotes, hanging punctuation, line-splitting, orphans), and the batch script.
-
-## Output checklist
-
-- Lines reveal in reading order; one consistent enter motion, ~6–10 frame stagger.
-- The quote is verbatim; exactly one emphasized span, landing after its line settles.
-- Stars fill to the *real* score (halves supported) after the quote, with a correct `aria-label`.
-- Author block (name + role + company, real avatar or none) signs off last and holds still.
-- Every animated value derives from `useCurrentFrame()` — no CSS/JS timers.
-- Every field is a prop; one template renders every review in the folder.
-
-## Deliver & verify (rendered stills → MP4)
-
-> **Packaged helper** (`scripts/`): tile your stills with `scripts/contact-sheet.sh sheet.png f-hook.png f-mid.png f-end.png`, then assert the encode with `scripts/probe-mp4.sh out.mp4 [WxH] [fps]`. See `scripts/README.md`.
-
-**Output contract:**
-- A Remotion `Testimonial` registered as `<Composition>` (+ zod `schema` + `defaultProps`), every value frame-driven (no CSS transitions / JS timers / `Date.now()` / `Math.random()`).
-- Deliverable = the rendered `out/*.mp4` per review per aspect (plus the project + review data, so the user re-renders on new quotes).
-
-**Verify loop — render stills → inspect → encode.** Cheap PNGs first; render with the **shipped** review's props, not just `defaultProps`.
-
-```bash
-# Frame-exact stills across the reveal order: quote → stars → author
-npx remotion still Testimonial out/f-quote.png  --frame=30  --props=reviews/r1.json  # lines in reading order, emphasis span
-npx remotion still Testimonial out/f-stars.png  --frame=48  --props=reviews/r1.json  # stars filled to the REAL score (e.g. 4.5)
-npx remotion still Testimonial out/f-author.png --frame=215 --props=reviews/r1.json  # author block signed off, holding still
-# inspect each: fidelity (quote VERBATIM, exactly one emphasized span, star fill matches rating, name/role/company exact)
-#   AND artifacts (text overflow/orphans, off-canvas, author in the 9:16 bottom third, missing font, broken avatar)
-```
-
-**Multi-aspect / batch — verify one review in EACH target aspect before batch-rendering the list.** A layout bug (overflowing quote, clipped author) repeats across every review × aspect; catch it once.
-
-```bash
-for ar in 9x16 1x1 16x9; do                                  # one representative review, every aspect
-  npx remotion still Testimonial "out/r1-${ar}.png" --frame=215 \
-    --props=reviews/r1.json --props-merge="{\"aspect\":\"${ar}\"}"
-done
-# stills clean in all aspects? → then batch-render the list:
-for f in reviews/*.json; do id=$(basename "$f" .json); for ar in 9x16 1x1 16x9; do
-  npx remotion render Testimonial "out/${id}-${ar}.mp4" --props="$f" --props-merge="{\"aspect\":\"${ar}\"}"
-done; done
-npx remotion render Testimonial out/demo.gif --codec=gif --props=reviews/r1.json   # README demo
-```
-
-**Before you finish:**
-1. `npx remotion still` renders cleanly at quote / stars / author — no errors, no missing fonts/avatar.
-2. Quote is verbatim with one emphasized span; stars fill to the real score; name/role/company exact and inside the safe zone (clear of the 9:16 bottom third).
-3. Frame-driven only — no CSS/JS timers, `Date.now()`, or `Math.random()`.
-4. Shipped review's props render correctly (not just `defaultProps`); `aria-label` carries the real rating.
-5. One review verified in 9:16 + 1:1 + 16:9 before the batch; MP4s play; (optional) GIF for the README.

-# Batch & Typography
-
-How to feed many reviews into one card design, plus the quote-typography craft that separates a credible testimonial from a sloppy one.
-
-## Review prop schema
-
-One object per testimonial. Keep it flat so a CSV row maps to it directly.
-
-```ts
-type Review = {
-  quote: string;        // verbatim — never paraphrased or trimmed mid-sentence
-  highlight?: string;   // EXACT substring of `quote`; one phrase only
-  rating: number;       // 0–max, halves allowed (4.5)
-  max?: number;         // default 5
-  name: string;         // required — a quote with no name is not social proof
-  role?: string;
-  company?: string;
-  avatar?: string;      // real photo URL, or omit (never a stock face)
-};
-```
-
-### Validation (fail loud, before rendering 50 videos)
-
-```ts
-function validate(r: Review): string[] {
-  const errs: string[] = [];
-  if (!r.quote?.trim()) errs.push("quote is empty");
-  if (!r.name?.trim()) errs.push("name is required (no anonymous testimonials)");
-  const max = r.max ?? 5;
-  if (r.rating < 0 || r.rating > max) errs.push(`rating ${r.rating} out of 0–${max}`);
-  if (r.highlight && !r.quote.includes(r.highlight))
-    errs.push(`highlight "${r.highlight}" is not a substring of the quote`);
-  return errs;
-}
-```
-
-The `highlight ⊂ quote` check is the important one: it guarantees you only ever emphasize words the customer actually wrote. If the highlight isn't an exact substring, the emphasis silently disappears in the card — so block the render instead.
-
-## CSV → props
-
-Reviews usually arrive as a spreadsheet export. Map columns to the schema and coerce the rating.
-
-```js
-import { parse } from "csv-parse/sync";
-import { readFileSync, writeFileSync, mkdirSync } from "node:fs";
-
-// CSV columns: quote,highlight,rating,name,role,company,avatar
-const rows = parse(readFileSync("reviews.csv"), { columns: true, trim: true });
-mkdirSync("reviews", { recursive: true });
-
-rows.forEach((row, i) => {
-  const r = {
-    quote: row.quote,
-    highlight: row.highlight || undefined,
-    rating: Number(row.rating),
-    name: row.name,
-    role: row.role || undefined,
-    company: row.company || undefined,
-    avatar: row.avatar || undefined,
-  };
-  const errs = validate(r);
-  if (errs.length) { console.error(`Row ${i + 1} (${r.name}):`, errs); process.exit(1); }
-  writeFileSync(`reviews/${String(i).padStart(3, "0")}-${slug(r.name)}.json`,
-    JSON.stringify(r, null, 2));
-});
-
-const slug = (s) => s.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9]+/g, "-").replace(/^-|-$/g, "");
-```
-
-## Batch render — one video per review
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p out
-for f in reviews/*.json; do
-  name=$(basename "$f" .json)
-  npx remotion render Testimonial "out/$name.mp4" --props="$f"
-done
-```
-
-Everything visual lives in the single `theme` object in the composition (colors, fonts, quote-mark glyph, spacing). Because only the props change per render, 50 testimonials stay pixel-for-pixel brand-locked while the words and score vary. To re-theme the whole set, edit one object and re-run the loop.
-
-For multi-aspect (9:16 feed + 1:1 post + 16:9 site), register the composition at each size with a shared center-safe layout and loop over both `reviews/*.json` and the aspect list.
-
-## Quote typography craft
-
-Motion is the easy part; legible, well-set type is what makes the quote trustworthy.
-
-### Smart quotes, always
-
-Straight quotes (`"`) read as un-proofed. Convert to typographic quotes before rendering.
-
-```js
-const smarten = (s) => s
-  .replace(/(^|[\s([{])"/g, "$1“").replace(/"/g, "”")   // “ ”
-  .replace(/(^|[\s([{])'/g, "$1‘").replace(/'/g, "’")   // ‘ ’
-  .replace(/--/g, "—");                                       // em dash
-```
-
-### Hanging quotation marks
-
-A leading quote glyph indents the first line and breaks the flush-left edge. Hang it into the margin so the text block stays optically aligned — the gold standard for set quotes.
-
-```css
-blockquote { hanging-punctuation: first; }            /* Safari/WebKit */
-/* Cross-engine fallback: pull the opening mark left by its own width */
-blockquote::before { content: "\201C"; margin-left: -0.55em; color: var(--muted); }
-```
-
-When the card uses a large decorative quote mark (as in `quote-card.md`), drop the inline opening glyph so the mark isn't doubled.
-
-### Splitting into lines / clauses
-
-Reveal in reading order means splitting on meaning, not on a fixed character count. Prefer clause boundaries (`. ! ? , ; —`), then pack to a comfortable measure (~32–40 chars at card size). The `toLines` helper in `quote-card.md` does exactly this. Never split a short quote into one-word-per-line — that reads as a ransom note, not a testimonial.
-
-### Orphans & widows
-
-A single dangling word on the last line looks broken. Bind the last two words with a non-breaking space so they wrap together.
-
-```js
-const noOrphan = (s) => s.replace(/ ([^ ]+)\s*$/, " $1");
-```
-
-### Legibility in motion
-
-- Use a font that stays readable while moving — avoid thin weights and tight tracking; a serif or a humanist sans at 500–600 weight holds up best on a rising line.
-- Animate **opacity + a small translate** only. Blur, rotation, and scale on body text hurt readability mid-reveal.
-- Contrast: body text ≥ 4.5:1 against the card; the highlight accent should pass against both the card and the ink it sits behind.
-- One emphasized span per quote. A second highlight halves the weight of the first.
-
-## Star-rating accessibility & correctness
-
-- The visual stars are decorative; expose the value to assistive tech with `role="img"` and `aria-label="4.5 out of 5 stars"` on the container (already in `quote-card.md`).
-- For fractional scores, the width-clip method (`rating / max * 100%`) is exact for any decimal — no rounding to the nearest half-star, so 4.3 renders as 4.3.
-- Never animate the stars before the quote is read, and never show more filled stars than the data supports. A faked rating is the fastest way to lose the trust the testimonial was meant to build.
-- If a review has no rating, omit the star row entirely rather than defaulting to 5 — an invented score is worse than none.
-
-## Pacing notes
-
-- Hold the finished card still for the back half of the clip (≥3s) so it's screenshot-able and re-shareable — shares are the whole point of social proof.
-- For a sequence of testimonials in one video, give each card a full read (~3–4s) and hard-cut between them; cross-dissolving quotes makes both unreadable.

-# Quote Card — complete runnable component
-
-A full testimonial card you can drop into a Remotion project, plus a zero-dependency HTML/CSS variant for non-Remotion pipelines. Both reveal in reading order, emphasize one phrase, fill stars to the real score, and sign off with the author.
-
-## Timing map (9:16, 30fps, ~10s)
-
-| Frame | Beat |
-|---|---|
-| 0–8 | Quote mark scales in; card settles |
-| 8–48 | Quote body, line-by-line (8 + i×6) |
-| 44–54 | Key-phrase highlight sweep (after its line settles) |
-| 56–70 | Stars fill left→right to `rating/max` |
-| 72–88 | Author block slides up, holds |
-| 88–300 | Everything holds still (screenshot-able) |
-
-The card holds motionless for the back half — stillness is what makes a testimonial read as a fact rather than an ad.

-Register it with a duration long enough for the back-half hold:

-  durationInFrames={300} fps={30} width={1080} height={1920}
-  defaultProps={{
-    quote: "We shipped in days, not months. Onboarding saved us 10 hours a week.",
-    highlight: "saved us 10 hours a week",
-    rating: 4.5, name: "Dana Reyes", role: "Head of Ops", company: "Northwind",
-  }} />
-```
-
-## Why these choices
-
-- **`spring` with `damping: 200`** gives a clean rise with no overshoot — testimonials should feel composed, not bouncy. The quote mark uses lighter damping (14) for a touch of life on the one decorative element.
-- **Highlight as a gradient `<mark>`** wipes a real highlighter behind the phrase without a second element or a mask, and survives line wraps via `box-decoration-break: clone`.
-- **Stars as two stacked glyph rows clipped by width** render any fractional score (4.5, 4.3) with no half-star asset, and the filled row inherits the brand accent.
-- **Author after stars** matches reading psychology: claim → proof → who. Reordering weakens trust.
-
-## Zero-dependency HTML/CSS variant
-
-For pipelines that capture a headless-browser timeline (or just a web embed). Animations are CSS `@keyframes` with per-line `animation-delay`; if rendering frame-exact video, prefer the Remotion version above so frames stay deterministic.

-
-The CSS `mark` sweep uses `background-size` (animatable) rather than a gradient color-stop, since color-stop percentages don't animate in CSS. The star `--rating/--max` math is the same fractional fill as the Remotion version.

-description: Create videos from React code with Remotion. Use when the user asks to make, animate, preview, or render a video, motion graphic, intro, caption, or social clip using code.

-
-# Remotion Video
-
-Remotion makes videos out of React components. Each frame is a web page. Render them in order and you get an MP4.
-
-## Core ideas
-- **Composition**: one video. Has `width`, `height`, `fps`, `durationInFrames`.
-- **Frame**: `useCurrentFrame()` returns the current frame number. All animation is a function of the frame.
-- **`interpolate`**: maps a frame range to a value range (fade, slide).
-- **`spring`**: natural bouncy motion.
-- **`Sequence`**: shows children only during a frame range.
-- **`AbsoluteFill`**: full-screen layer; stack them for backgrounds.
-- **`Audio` / `OffthreadVideo` / `Img`**: media. Put files in `public/` and load with `staticFile("name.mp3")`.
-
-## Workflow
-1. **Plan first.** Ask or decide: length (seconds), size (1920x1080, or 1080x1920 for vertical), fps (30), and the scenes. Keep scenes to a short list.
-2. **Set up** (skip if the project exists):
-   ```
-   npx create-video@latest
-   cd <project> && npm install
-   ```
-3. **Write** compositions in `src/`, register them in `src/Root.tsx`.
-4. **Preview**: `npm run dev` (opens Remotion Studio).
-5. **Render**: `npx remotion render <CompositionId> out/video.mp4`
-   Still frame: `npx remotion still <CompositionId> out/frame.png --frame=30`
-6. **Verify**: render one still first, check it looks right, then render the full video.
-
-## Starter example
-`src/Root.tsx`
-```tsx
-import { Composition } from "remotion";
-import { Hello } from "./Hello";
-
-export const RemotionRoot = () => (
-  <Composition
-    id="Hello"
-    component={Hello}
-    durationInFrames={150}
-    fps={30}
-    width={1920}
-    height={1080}
-    defaultProps={{ title: "Hello, world" }}
-  />
-);
-```
-
-`src/Hello.tsx`
-```tsx
-import { AbsoluteFill, interpolate, spring, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
-
-export const Hello = ({ title }: { title: string }) => {
-  const frame = useCurrentFrame();
-  const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
-  const opacity = interpolate(frame, [0, 30], [0, 1], { extrapolateRight: "clamp" });
-  const scale = spring({ frame, fps, config: { damping: 12 } });
-
-  return (
-    <AbsoluteFill style={{ backgroundColor: "#0b1020", justifyContent: "center", alignItems: "center" }}>
-      <h1 style={{ color: "white", fontSize: 120, opacity, transform: `scale(${scale})` }}>{title}</h1>
-    </AbsoluteFill>
-  );
-};
-```
-
-## Rules of thumb
-- Never animate with CSS transitions, `setTimeout`, or CSS animations. They don't render per frame. Drive everything from `useCurrentFrame()`.
-- Always pass `extrapolateRight: "clamp"` to `interpolate` unless you want values to keep growing.
-- Seconds to frames: `seconds * fps`.
-- Use `<Sequence from={..} durationInFrames={..}>` to order scenes; `<Series>` to chain them.
-- Load fonts with `@remotion/google-fonts` so they are ready before rendering.
-- Keep props in `defaultProps` so the user can edit text in the Studio.
-- Rendering needs Chromium and ffmpeg (Remotion installs/handles these); first render can be slow.
-
-## Fonts
-Google Fonts: `npm i @remotion/google-fonts`, then
-```tsx
-import { loadFont } from "@remotion/google-fonts/Inter";
-const { fontFamily } = loadFont();   // use as style={{ fontFamily }}
-```
-It downloads the font while rendering, so the machine needs internet access to fonts.googleapis.com. If the render fails with "Failed to load font", the network is blocking it: use a local font file in `public/` with `@remotion/fonts` (`loadFont({ family, url: staticFile("x.woff2") })`) or a system font. (Not verified in the sandbox where this skill was tested, which had no access to Google.)
-
-## Common problems
-- **Can't download the browser (no internet / locked-down machine)**: point Remotion at an installed Chromium:
-  `npx remotion render <Id> out/video.mp4 --browser-executable=/path/to/chromium --chrome-mode=chrome-for-testing`
-- **Blank/white frames**: an asset path is wrong; use `staticFile()`.
-- **Flicker**: an image or font not loaded; use `<Img>` and `@remotion/google-fonts`.
-- **Slow render**: lower resolution/fps while testing, or use `--concurrency`.
-
-## Templates
-Copy-paste starting points. Read the one that fits:
-- `templates/captions.md` - words highlighted in time with speech
-- `templates/charts.md` - animated bar chart
-- `templates/intro-outro.md` - title card + chaining scenes with `Series`
-- `templates/audio-voiceover.md` - background music, voiceover, auto video length
-- `templates/vertical.md` - 1080x1920 clips for Reels/TikTok/Shorts

-
-Register it (note `calculateMetadata`):
-```tsx
-<Composition
-  id="Narrated"
-  component={Narrated}
-  calculateMetadata={calcNarratedMetadata}
-  durationInFrames={300}   // placeholder, replaced by calculateMetadata
-  fps={30} width={1920} height={1080}
-  defaultProps={{ title: "My story", voice: "voice.mp3", music: "music.mp3" }}
-/>
-```
-
-Install: `npm i @remotion/media-utils`
-
-Getting a voiceover
-- Record yourself, or generate speech with a text-to-speech service, and save as `public/voice.mp3`. Never commit API keys; keep them in environment variables.
-- Pair with `templates/captions.md`: feed it word timings from a transcription of the same file.
-
-Rules
-- Music volume 0.1-0.2 so the voice stays clear.
-- `<Sequence from={...}>` delays when a sound starts.
-- Audio is only in the final render (mp4). Stills (`remotion still`) have no sound.
-- Check the sound made it in: `ffprobe out/video.mp4` should list an `Audio:` stream.

-Tips
-- Get word times from a transcription tool (e.g. `@remotion/captions` or Whisper) and save them as JSON in `public/`.
-- `background` is the backdrop when there is no video. Pass `"transparent"` when layering over a video.
-- Layer it over the video: `<AbsoluteFill><OffthreadVideo src={staticFile("clip.mp4")} /><Captions words={words} background="transparent" /></AbsoluteFill>`.

+# Animating Clawd
+
+Read this whole file before you draw anything. It covers how to make a short, hand-painted cartoon, starring Clawd or any character you design: the rules and animation principles that make it look good, the workflow that catches mistakes, and the full reference for the character and the engine.
+
+The person prompting you decides **what** the video is about. This guide decides **how** it's made. If they ask for something the rules below forbid (a caption, a 3D spin), do what they ask.
+
+**No design here is final.** Clawd, the emotions, the props and the helpers are a starting point, not a limit. Change any of them, Clawd's own design included, and add whatever new characters, props or emotions the idea needs. Paint new things with the same tools and rules, so they belong with the rest.
+
+Look at the model sheets first:
+- [docs/emotions.jpg](docs/emotions.jpg): all 31 emotions.
+- [docs/views.jpg](docs/views.jpg): the five key views, the motion helpers and the hats.
+
+---
+
+## The three goals
+
+Every rule below serves one of three goals.
+
+- **Handmade.** The video should look like someone painted it by hand, frame by frame. That means brush strokes, ink lines that boil, flat 2D and no lettering.
+- **Alive.** Something is always moving and something is always happening. Faces act instead of snapping, and characters are big enough to feel.
+- **One piece.** It's one short film, not a pile of clips. Plan it before you draw it, and link every scene to the next.
+
+Underneath all three, the viewer has to be able to follow it. Timing (rule 4) is the rule models get wrong most often.
+
+## The rules
+
+### 1. The medium is solid: brush strokes, flat 2D, boil
+
+- **Paint everything with p5.brush through `paint()` and `inkLine()`.** Characters get flat `wash` colour plus an ink outline. Backgrounds get soft watercolour `fill` shapes, usually with no outline or a thin one. Never use plain p5 shapes (`rect`, `ellipse`, `fill()`): they look like 2000s Flash.
+- **The linework boils.** `jit()` and `random()` are reseeded 12 times a second (`BOIL`), so every drawing wobbles slightly, like hand-drawn animation. That's the look; don't fight it. For anything that must stay put from frame to frame (star positions, tuft heights), use `hash(i)`. Give each separate element its own seed with `boilSeed(key)` (see Engine), or one moving thing makes everything drawn after it jitter.
+- **Everything is flat 2D. Never project 3D.** Don't rotate a box in perspective, don't use `rotateY` or WEBGL 3D and don't fake depth with math. Clawd turns through **drawn key views** (front → 3/4 → side → back 3/4 → back), exactly like a cartoon model sheet: see `turn()` and `spinView()`. Depth comes from overlap, scale and colour (farther = smaller, bluer, paler), never from a projection.
+- **Light is the one exception.** p5.brush mixes colour like pigment, so a yellow glow painted over blue turns green, and a thin wash over it turns grey. Use `glow()` for anything that shines: it adds real light, under the paper grain.
+- **Soft palette, no pure black or white.** Use `PAL.ink` for black and `PAL.cream` or `PAL.paper` for white. Keep colours soft and harmonious, and keep Clawd clearly readable against the background.
+
+### 2. No text
+
+- **Show it, don't write it.** Models overuse text. No captions, no titles, no labels on objects, no signs, no speech bubbles with words, no words on screens, no "ZZZ" typed in a font.
+- **Clawd's reactions are painted marks, never letters**: `!`, `?`, zzz, sweat, hearts, a bulb, a rain cloud. Use the emotes (see the reference).
+- **A sign that repeats the story is the classic failure.** If Clawd holds a sign saying "I'm lost", the shot has failed. Show Clawd being lost: looking left, then right, the map upside down, a sweat drop.
+- If the prompt truly needs a word (a name, a shop sign that is the joke), use `letter()`. Paint it into the scene, keep it to one or two words and use it once.
+
+### 3. Something happens in every scene
+
+- **Every shot needs an event:** something changes between its first frame and its last. Clawd wants something, finds something, tries, fails, reacts or gets it. "Clawd stands in a meadow being cute" is not a shot.
+- **One focal action at a time.** Stage it with a clear silhouette and nothing competing for attention, so it reads at a glance.
+- **Cause, then reaction.** When something happens, Clawd reacts to it: a take, an emotion change, a turn toward it. The reaction is often the funniest part, so give it time.
+- **Pay it off.** Whatever you set up in a shot (a door, a sandwich, a strange noise) gets resolved on screen, in that shot or a later one.
+
+### 4. Timing: model the viewer
+
+Timing turns a set of drawings into a story. It's also where generated animation fails most often: everything moves at one brisk speed, events pile on top of each other, and moments are over before anyone understands them.
+
+You know what happens because you wrote the code. The viewer doesn't: they see it once, at full speed, for the first time. **For every moment, ask what the viewer needs to understand and how long that will take them, and time it for that.**
+
+- **Write the reads.** For each shot, list in order what the viewer has to understand. Each item is a *read*. Every read needs time for the eye to find it, time to understand it, and a moment to register before the next thing starts. Small, distant, fast or subtle things take longer to find and understand than big, central, obvious ones.
+- **One read at a time.** Don't start a new read while the viewer is still taking in the last one. When two things happen at once, the viewer sees only one of them. Put a cause and its reaction in sequence, not on top of each other.
+- **Fast actions, slow meanings.** A motion can be very quick if it's anticipated, but what it means needs held time. Anticipation tells the viewer where to look before the action, and the hold after it lets them understand it. Move quickly through what doesn't matter to the story, and spend time on what does. That contrast between quick and held is what gives a film rhythm; one constant speed, fast or slow, makes it flat and hard to follow.
+- **Lead the eye.** The viewer looks at whatever moves, is bright, is big or is being looked at. Before an important read, get their eye to the right place (a character looks at it, the camera moves to it, it moves or lights up first), and give the eye time to get there.
+- **Let the reads set the length.** A shot is as long as its reads need. A shot with many reads can't be short, and a shot whose reads have all landed shouldn't be padded. That includes the last shot: its final read needs time to land before the video ends.
+
+For a worked example, see how the demo times its ending, at the end of this guide.
+
+### 5. Alive
+
+- **Nothing is ever still.** Every emotion has its own idle motion (`feel()`), cameras drift or push, grass sways, stars twinkle and the linework boils. A frozen frame reads as a bug.
+- **Faces act, they never snap.** Change moods with `emotions()`. It does anticipation, a squint, a take and overshoot around every change. Never swap `eyes`/`mouth` by hand between two frames.
+- **Move like a cartoon, not a machine.** Every move follows the animation principles in the next section.
+- **Clawd is big.** In a medium shot, `u` is about 20–28 (Clawd is 10u wide, 8u tall). In a close-up it's 40–70. Tiny Clawds (u < 12) are for wide establishing shots only, and never for the whole video.
+- **Everything moves on a beat.** `PROJECT.bpm` drives every idle, bounce and dance, so the whole film shares one pulse. Put the hits on beats (`pulse()`, `beatN()`), even with no music.
+
+### 6. Transitions always
+
+- **Every seam gets a transition:** into the first shot, between every pair of shots and out of the last one. Never start on a hard frame, and never just stop.
+- **Pick a transition that belongs to the story**, and don't default to the same one every time. Some options:
+  - a brush wipe (`brushWipe`)
+  - an iris or shaped iris (`iris`, `irisShape`)
+  - a whip pan with a smear
+  - a match cut (the same shape or motion across the cut)
+  - a cut on action (cut mid-move, and finish the move in the next shot)
+  - a camera move that carries through into the next shot
+  - a fade or push from paper or black
+- A plain cut is fine only when it's on action or a deliberate smash cut.
+- **Changes inside a shot are transitions too:** emotions go through `emotions()` and turns go through `turn()`. Props arrive and leave on arcs, never popping in.
+
+### 7. One piece: a vision before any code
+
+- **Storyboard first**, in writing, before you write any scene code (the workflow below has the format). If you're working with a person, show them the storyboard and let them react before you build.
+- **One world.** Pick a palette and a setting that carries through, with a colour arc across the video (e.g. cold night → warm dawn as Clawd's mood lifts).
+- **One thread.** The story has a beginning, a middle and an end, and Clawd's emotional arc follows it. Plan the emotion keys across the whole video, not per shot.
+- **Rhyme the ending with the opening:** the same place, pose or motif, changed. It makes the film feel whole.
+- **Link scenes:** motion continues across cuts, and screen direction stays consistent (if Clawd travels right, keep travelling right). Props and characters carry over.
+
+---
+
+## Animation principles
+
+These are the classic principles of character animation, as they apply here. Most of them fix one problem: motion written as code comes out mechanical, because code moves every part at once, on the same curve, by the same amount.
+
+- **Anticipation.** Before a big move, make a small move the opposite way: a crouch before a jump, a wind-up before a throw, a squint before a take. It tells the viewer something is coming and where to look. `jump()` and `emotions()` build it in.
+- **Squash and stretch.** Bodies squash on impact and stretch when they move fast, keeping their volume (`sq`).
+- **Slow in, slow out.** Almost nothing moves at a constant speed. Things ease out of one pose and into the next. A plain `lerp` over time looks mechanical, so run its progress through an easing (`ease`, `easeIn`, `easeOut`, `backOut`).
+- **Weight.** How something starts and stops says what it weighs. Heavy things take longer to get going and to stop, and land with little bounce. Light things snap into motion, bounce and flutter to rest.
+- **Arcs.** Living things move on arcs, not straight lines: thrown props, hops, arm swings, head turns (`arcPt`).
+- **Overlapping action and follow-through.** Don't move every part at once. The eyes lead, the body follows, and arms, hats, props and tails drag behind, overshoot and settle last. Offset each part's timing a little from the one it hangs off (`spring`, `ring` and `backOut` for the settle).
+- **Avoid twinning.** Code copies values, so both arms end up at the same angle, both eyes blink together and a crowd bounces in unison. Give one arm the action and the other something smaller, and offset timings, phases and `seed`s between characters.
+- **Exaggeration.** Push poses, takes, squash and leans further than feels natural. In a short cartoon, subtle reads as nothing. If it looks like too much on the sheet, pull it back.
+- **Strong key poses.** Each shot's storytelling poses should read as stills, with a clear silhouette and the body leaning into what it's doing, before any motion goes between them. If the key poses don't read, the motion won't fix it.
+- **Show the thought.** A character notices, thinks, then acts, and the eyes move first. The viewer understands a choice when they see it being made.
+- **Secondary action.** Small actions that support the main one (a hat bobbing, an emote popping, grass stirring) add life, but they never compete with it.

+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. Storyboard
+
+Write `STORYBOARD.md` before any scene code:
+
+```
+Logline: one sentence. Clawd wants ___, but ___, so ___.
+World: setting, a small palette, light, how the colour changes across the video.
+Motif: the thing that recurs and pays off.
+Clawd's arc: the emotion keys across the whole video.
+Shots:
+  A  start–end  [transition in: ___]  what's seen · the EVENT · Clawd's reaction · camera
+     reads:  start–end  the first thing the viewer must understand
+             start–end  the next one (where is the viewer's eye when it starts?)
+             ...
+  B  start–end  [transition: ___]  ...
+  ...
+  [transition out: ___]
+```
+
+The reads are the timing sheet. Give each one a start and an end, make sure each has time to be found and understood, and make sure no two important reads overlap. If a shot's reads don't fit its length, lengthen the shot or cut a read; don't squeeze them.
+
+Check the storyboard against the rules:
+- Is there an event in every shot?
+- Does every read have time to land before the next one starts?
+- Is there a transition at every seam?
+- Is there any text anywhere?
+- Does the ending rhyme with the opening?
+
+### 2. Build
+
+- Set `duration` (and `bpm`) in [src/config.js](src/config.js).
+- Put your scene in a new file (e.g. `src/scenes/my_video.js`), wrapped in an IIFE, and end it with `shots([...])`. In [studio.html](studio.html), **replace** the `demo.js` script tag with yours.
+- Build and check one shot at a time, in order.
+- Within a shot, block the key poses first and check them as stills (`--sheet` at the key times). Add the motion between them once they read.
+
+```js
+// src/scenes/my_video.js
+(() => {
+  function park(t, lt, dur) {                        // t = video time, lt = time in this shot, dur = shot length
+    camBegin(960 + 20 * Math.sin(lt * .6), 540, 1 + .02 * lt);   // slow drift and push: the camera is never dead
+    paint(rectPts(-200, -200, W + 400, H + 400), { wash: PAL.sky, ink: null });           // background
+    paint(ellPts(960, 1150, 1400, 380, 40, 2), { wash: PAL.sap, ink: PAL.ink, sw: 1 });   // ground
+    const mood = emotions(lt, [[0, 'bored'], [1.2, 'surprised'], [1.7, 'excited']]);      // acted changes
+    const hop = jump(lt, 2.2, 2.7, 3);                                                    // add poses that share fields
+    clawd(960, 860, 26, { ...mood, dy: mood.dy + hop.dy, sq: mood.sq + hop.sq });
+    const at = toScreen(960, 860 - 4 * 26);          // Clawd's screen position, for the iris
+    camEnd();
+    if (lt < .45) iris(...at, lerp(0, 1500, easeIn(lt / .45)));            // transition in
+    if (lt > dur - .3) brushWipe((lt - (dur - .3)) / .6);                 // transition out (next shot finishes it)
+  }
+  shots([[0, park] /*, [3.5, nextShot], ... */]);
+})();
+```
+
+### 3. Look at it: the review loop
+
+You can't see motion by reading code. Render and look at every shot, several times, at three zoom levels:
+
+```bash
+# contact sheet: the shape of the whole piece (every shot's first, middle and last frames)
+node render.mjs --sheet=0.1,0.8,1.6,2.4,3.1,3.9 --cols=6 --w=320 --out=out/check/sheet.jpg
+# strip: EVERY frame of a moment (turns, takes, jumps, throws, transitions)
+node render.mjs --strip=2.1:2.6 --cols=6 --w=320 --out=out/check/strip.jpg
+# crop: full-resolution detail (faces, hands, contacts, glows); crop=x,y,w,h in frame pixels
+node render.mjs --sheet=2.3,2.4 --crop=760,420,500,400 --w=500 --out=out/check/face.jpg
+# crop-at: the same, following a WORLD point through each frame's camera (a foot or a prop on a moving shot);
+# x,y in world pixels (or an expression evaluated in the page), w,h in frame pixels
+node render.mjs --strip=2.1:2.6 --crop-at=960,700,500,400 --out=out/check/feet.jpg
+```
+
+Open each image and actually look at it. Check:
+
+- **Read:** is the event of each shot clear from its sheet alone? Is Clawd big enough, and does Clawd separate from the background?
+- **Timing.** You can't judge timing from single frames, so read it like a viewer:
+  - Render the shot as a sheet at a fixed step (every 0.1–0.15 s) and read it in order.
+  - At each frame ask: where is the viewer looking right now, and do they understand it yet?
+  - Count the frames each read gets (24 frames = 1 s). A read that flashes by in a few frames, or shares its frames with another read, will be missed.
+  - After each important moment, is there time to take it in before the next thing starts?
+- **Motion:** in strips, does every move have anticipation and follow-through? Are there any pops, jumps or snaps between frames? Do the parts move at different times, or all at once? Is anything moving at a constant speed, or mirrored left and right? Are the poses pushed far enough to read?
+- **Boil:** in a strip, each pair of frames that share a boil drawing should match except where something moves. Anything still that changes every frame needs its own `boilSeed()`.
+- **Contacts:** do feet touch the ground? Do held things touch the arm tips? Do thrown things leave from the hand?
+- **Transitions:** check the first and last 0.5 s of every shot and every seam. Does it open and close with a transition?
+- **Rules:** is there any text? Is there any 3D? Is there any dead stretch where nothing is happening?
+- **Colour:** any muddy glows (use `glow()`), pure black or pure white?
+
+Fix what you find, then look again. **Budget:** at least one sheet per shot, a strip for every key motion and transition, and a crop for every face that carries the story. Contact sheets run about 0.1–1 s per frame, so this is cheap: don't skip it.
+
+### 4. Render
+
+```bash
+node render.mjs --clip --out=out/video.mp4                      # the whole video, straight to MP4
+node render.mjs --frames --workers=4                            # or: parallel + resumable JPEG frames into out/frames …
+node render.mjs --encode --out=out/video.mp4                    # … then encode them
+```

+
+### Frames are pure functions of time
+
+- **Frames render in parallel and out of order.** A shot is `fn(t, lt, dur)` and must draw the same frame for the same `t`, every time. No state carried between frames, no counters, no `Math.random()`, no physics that integrates frame by frame. Compute everything from `t`, in closed form (the helpers below do this for you).
+- Randomness: `hash(i)` for stable per-object values, and `jit(a)`/`random()` for boil (they change 12 times a second).
+- **Seed each element with `boilSeed(key)`.** Each boil drawing holds for two frames, so anything that isn't moving must draw the same in both. But a moving thing uses a different amount of randomness each frame, which shifts the stream for everything drawn after it, and all of that re-boils every frame and looks jittery.
+  - `boilSeed(key)` restarts the stream from the boil frame and a key that stays the same every frame (any string or number, unique within the frame).
+  - Call it before each separate element: each background layer, prop and effect.
+  - `clawd()` seeds itself and each of its parts, then reseeds when it's done, so nothing drawn after it depends on its pose. Its key is its call order; set `boilKey` if characters come and go mid-shot.
+- **Each shot paints the whole frame,** background included. The paper texture is under everything and the grain is multiplied over the top, so leaving paper showing is a valid look.
+- **Canvas:** 1920×1080, origin top-left, y down.
+- `LOOPS.name = t => {...}; LOOPS.name.len = 4;` makes a standalone loop (tests, GIFs, sheets), rendered with `--loop=name`.
+
+### Painting
+
+`paint(pts, o)` paints one shape from a point list `[[x, y], ...]`:
+
+| option | meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `wash, washOp` | flat colour (opacity 0–255, default 255). For characters, props, anything solid. |
+| `fill, fillOp, bleed, tex, border` | watercolour fill with bleeding edges and pigment texture. For skies, hills, shading and shadows. `bleed` ~.05–.3, `tex` ~.3–.9. |
+| `hatch: { d, a, o, b, c, w }` | hatching (distance, angle, `{rand, gradient}`, brush e.g. `'charcoal'`/`'HB'`, colour, weight). Texture, sparingly. |
+| `ink, sw, br` | outline colour (default `PAL.ink`), weight (~.4–2), brush. **`ink: null` means no outline.** |
+| `curv` | 0–1: smooth the outline through the points. |
+
+- **Lines:** `inkLine(pts, sw, colour, brush = 'ink', curvature)`. The kit's brushes are `'ink'`, `'inkfine'` and `'dry'` (bristly). p5.brush's built-ins also work: `'2B'`, `'HB'`, `'charcoal'`, `'marker'`, `'pen'`, `'cpencil'`, `'rotring'`, `'spray'`.
+- **Shapes:**
+  - `rectPts(x, y, w, h, jitter)`
+  - `ellPts(cx, cy, rx, ry, n, jitter, rot)`
+  - `rrPts(x, y, w, h, r, jitter)`: a rounded rectangle
+  - `starPts(cx, cy, r, inner, n, rot)`
+  - `heartPts(cx, cy, r)`
+  - `through(P)`: a smooth curve through the points
+  - `ribbon(P, w0, w1)`: a tapered ribbon along a path, as one outline. Use it for tails, trails, vines and noodly arms.
+- **One shape, one outline.** Build a creature or prop from as few outlines as you can, so it doesn't look like glued-on stickers: a tail is one `ribbon`, not five circles.
+- **Light:** `glow(x, y, r, colour, a)`. It's additive, so it stays warm on dark grounds and barely shows on light ones (as real light would). Draw it before the things that sit in front of the light.
+- **Palette** `PAL`: `paper, ink, clay, clayDk, clayLt, night, indigo, rose, ochre, sap, teal, violet, cream, sky`. `mixCol(a, b, k)` mixes two hex colours in RGB. Any hex colour works: pick a small palette per video.
+- **p5.brush quirks:**
+  - Colours mix like pigment: yellow over blue makes green. Layer light colours over dark ones with a full-opacity `wash`, or use `glow()`.
+  - `wash` at 255 is exact colour; lower opacities mix.
+  - Strokes drawn far from the origin under a zoomed camera collapse: from zoom ~2, an outline or a line at large
+    world coordinates leaves only a dot at its first vertex. `paint()` and `inkLine()` draw each shape around its own
+    centre, which avoids it. A shape much bigger than the canvas can still lose its outline: draw long edges as
+    `inkLine`s no bigger than the canvas.
+  - Outline weight is in world units, so it grows with the camera's zoom: a fine outline on a small shape becomes a
+    dark blob in a close-up. Scale `sw` down with the zoom for small shapes.
+  - A NaN in a point list throws `Failed to construct 'OffscreenCanvas': Value is not of type 'unsigned long'`, with
+    a stack pointing at your scene rather than the NaN. Guard geometry that can degenerate (`Math.acos` of a ratio > 1).
+  - p5 `push()/pop()/translate()/rotate()/scale()` work with all brush calls.
+  - Cost is the number of `fill` shapes and strokes: hundreds are fine, thousands are not. Aim for ≤ 1.5 s per frame. The render log prints ms/frame.
+  - Some scenes make p5.brush log five `WebGL: INVALID_OPERATION ... not from the associated program` warnings once per page. They're harmless (frames come out identical). Any other page error is real.
+
+### Time and motion (all pure functions of t)
+
+- **Progress and keys:**
+  - `seg(t, a, b)`: 0..1 progress through [a, b]
+  - `kf(t, [[t0, v0], [t1, v1], ...], ease)`: keyframes; values may be arrays
+  - `lerp`, `clamp`, `frac`, `wob(t, freq, phase)`, `TAU`
+- **Easing:** `ease`, `easeIn`, `easeOut`, `backOut` (overshoot) and `elasticOut`.
+- **Rhythm:** `BEAT` (seconds per beat), `bpOf(t)` (beat position), `beatN(t)` (beat number), and `pulse(t, k)` / `pulse2(t, k)`, which are 1 on each beat (or eighth) and then decay.
+- **Acting:**
+  - `jump(t, t0, t1, h)`: crouch, stretch, arc and squash-land. Returns `{dy, sq}`.
+  - `take(t, t0, amt)`: a surprise take, returns `{sq, dy}`.
+  - `stroll(t, t0, t1, x0, x1, u)`: an eased walk. Returns `{x, walk, view, flip, dy}`.
+  - `spring(t, t0, k, w)`: a damped wobble after an event, for settles and follow-through.
+  - `ring(t, [t0, t1, ...])`: one `spring` kick per event time.
+  - `arcPt(p0, p1, h, k)`: a point on a thrown arc.
+  - `onTwos(t)`: holds each drawing for two frames. Wrap a shot's `t` in it for a snappier, hand-drawn feel.
+- **Camera:**
+  - `camBegin(cx, cy, zoom, rot)` … `camEnd()`: world point (cx, cy) lands at screen centre. One level only; always pair them.
+  - `toScreen(x, y)`: world → screen while a camera is active. Use it to aim an iris at a character.
+  - `shakeXY(t, amount)`: [dx, dy] to add to the camera on impacts.
+- **Full-frame effects** (screen space, after `camEnd()`):
+  - `brushWipe(p, [c1, c2])`: fat strokes cover the frame (p 0 → .5) and then drag off (.5 → 1). Cut under full cover. Its comment in timeline.js shows the two calls.
+  - `iris(cx, cy, r, colour)` and `irisShape(pts, colour)`: shaped reveals.
+  - `flash(k, colour)`: a full-frame flash.
+- **Lettering** (only if you must, see "No text"):
+  - `letter(txt, x, y, size, colour, {pop, rot, alpha, screen})`
+  - `sfx(txt, x, y, size, colour, age)`
+  - Both are composited at `flushLetters()`, after the shot. If a wipe or iris must cover them, call it yourself first.
+

+
+## Clawd
+
+Clawd is the Claude Code mascot: a terracotta block (`PAL.clay`), 10 units wide and 6 tall, with four stubby legs, two little arm nubs and two tall slit eyes. There's no mouth at rest. It's drawn in flat wash with an ink outline and boils like everything else. That's the default design, not a rule: change it if the idea needs it. Within one video, though, keep every character on model, with the same shape and features in every shot.
+
+```js
+clawd(x, y, u, options)   // (x, y) = ground point between the feet; u = size unit
+```
+
+**Sizes:** Clawd is 10u × 8u (legs included).
+
+| shot | u | on screen |
+|---|---|---|
+| wide | 10–16 | small in the landscape |
+| medium | 20–28 | the usual acting size |
+| close-up | 40–70 | face acting |
+| extreme close-up | 90+ | camera pushed in on the eyes |
+
+### Options
+
+| group | options |
+|---|---|
+| pose | `dx`, `dy` (in u; −dy = up), `sq` (squash; negative stretches), `rot` (pivots at the feet), `flip`, `sx`, `sy`, `aL`, `aR` (arm angle: 0 = straight out, + = up, − = down; ±1.5 is vertical), `walk` (leg phase), `noLegs`, `noShadow` |
+| view | `view`: front, q, side, qback, back. `smear` 0..1 + `smearDir` ±1 (0 = both sides) for fast moves |
+| face | `eyes`, `mouth`, `lookX`/`lookY` (−1..1), `squint` 0..1, `blush` 0..1, `gloom` 0..1, `lid` 0..1, `seed` (blink timing) |
+| colour | `tint` (pale, flush, blue, rosy, green, gold, or any hex) + `tintK`, or `col`/`dk`/`lt` directly |
+| extras | `hat`, `emote` + `emoteK` (0..1 pop) + `emoteAge`, `draw(u, sw)`, `armL(u, sw)`, `armR(u, sw)` |
+| boil | `boilKey`: a stable id for its boil seeds (default: call order) |
+
+Options compose by spreading: `clawd(x, y, u, { ...feel('happy', t), ...turn(t, 1, 1.15, 0, .25), hat: 'party' })`. Later spreads win, so put the emotion first and the pose after it. If both an emotion and a pose move the same field (`dy`, `sq`), add them together rather than letting one silently replace the other.
+
+### Views and turns
+
+These are drawn key views. Every view faces screen-right; add `flip: true` to face left.
+
+| view | what you see |
+|---|---|
+| `front` | the face, both arms, four legs |
+| `q` | 3/4: the face shifted toward the heading, the side face as a darker strip behind it |
+| `side` | profile: one eye near the leading edge, one arm |
+| `qback` | 3/4 from behind: no face |
+| `back` | no face |
+
+- **Turn with `turn(t, t0, t1, a0, a1)`.** Headings are in turns: 0 = front, .25 = facing right, .5 = back, −.25 = facing left. It steps through the key views over 0.12–0.25 s with smears, like a drawn turn. For a single heading, use `spinView(a)`.
+- **Walks across the screen** read best in `side` view with `walk` driving the legs. `stroll()` gives `q`; override it with `view: 'side'` for a trot.
+- **Facing right, `aL` is the near arm** (drawn in front of the body), and the far arm is behind and darker.
+
+### Emotions
+
+31 emotions. Each is a face, a colour and a way of moving, all locked to the beat. `feel(name, t, over)` returns all of it at time t:
+
+```js
+clawd(x, y, u, feel('happy', t));                                   // one emotion, alive
+clawd(x, y, u, feel('sad', t, { view: 'q', lookX: -1 }));             // with overrides
+clawd(x, y, u, emotions(t, [[0, 'sleepy'], [1.9, 'surprised', { lookX: .8 }], [2.5, 'idea']]));   // acted changes
+```
+
+| family | emotions |
+|---|---|
+| joy | happy, excited, laugh, love, proud, starstruck, playful, hopeful, relieved |
+| sly | smug, cool, mischief, suspicious |
+| low | sad, cry, bored, sleepy, ko |
+| hot | angry, furious (the lunchbox lid opens), determined, disgusted |
+| alarm | scared, nervous, surprised, confused, dizzy |
+| mind | neutral, thinking, idea, shy |
+
+- **`emotions(t, keys)`** is how moods change in a shot. Around each key it squints and squashes just before the change (anticipation), swaps the face under the squint, and fires a take sized to the new emotion. The body then settles into the new motion with overshoot, colour cross-fades and the new emote pops in.
+  - `emotions(t, keys, { take: .5 })` scales every take.
+  - The third element of a key overrides fields for that stretch (e.g. `{ lookX: .8, emote: 'music' }`).
+- To make a new emotion, add an entry to `EMO` in clawd.js. It needs eyes, mouth, optional tint/blush/gloom/lid/emote, `take` (reaction size) and `body(t)` (its idle motion, locked to the beat through `_b(t)`).
+
+### Parts
+
+- **Eyes:** normal, look, wide, happy, closed, sleepy, wink, narrow, angry, determined, sad, teary, cry, squeeze, shine, scared, blank, spark, red, heart, x, swirl, dot, shades.
+  - A pair gives mismatched eyes, e.g. `['narrow', 'wide']`.
+  - `lookX`/`lookY` aim the pupils, and `squint` closes the eyes from any shape.
+- **Mouths:** o, O, smile, grin, flat, wobble, cat, frown, smirk, laugh, open, wail, teeth, tongue, pout, yawn. Use `null` for none (Clawd's resting face).
+- **Lunchbox lid:** `lid` 0..1 hinges the top of the body open, with teeth pointing into the mouth. It's for fury, chomping and shouting, in the front view only.
+- **Hats:** party, hard, crown, halo, wizard, hood, top, fedora, band, sweatband, beanie, bow, flower, headphones, cat (ears and whiskers). Face pieces: masq, mask, bowtie.
+- **Emotes** are painted marks that pop in by the head: `!` `?` `!!` `!?` zzz, sweat, spark, heart, hearts, anger, steam, bulb, dots, scribble, music, swirl, stars, cloud.
+  - `emoteK` is the 0..1 pop and `emoteAge` drives the looping ones; `emotions()` sets both.
+  - `emote(kind, x, y, s, k, age)` draws one anywhere, for example over a prop.
+- **Body colour:**
+  - `tint` shifts it with the mood: pale (fear), flush (anger), blue (sadness), rosy (love), green (disgust), gold (pride).
+  - `gloom` adds a dark forehead with hanging lines, and `blush` adds cheeks (hatched when above .6).
+
+### Hooks: props and accessories
+
+- **`draw(u, sw)`** paints in body-local space, on top of everything else on the body (face, hat, near arm). It squashes, flips and rotates with Clawd. Front-view coordinates:
+  - the body spans x −5u..5u and y −8u..−2u
+  - the eyes are at (±2.5u, −6u)
+  - the mouth is near (0, −4.3u)
+- **`armL(u, sw)` / `armR(u, sw)`** are called at the arm tip, in arm space (+x runs outward along the arm), so a held prop just draws around (0, 0) and follows the arm automatically:
+
+```js
+clawd(x, y, 24, { ...feel('proud', t), aR: 1.2, armR: (u, sw) => paint(starPts(u * .8, 0, u * 1.4, .5, 5), { wash: '#FFE27A', sw }) });
+```
+
+- Anything the arms can't carry, like a big object overhead, is drawn separately at a point computed from the same pose. The demo's star does this. Make sure it touches: check it with a crop.
+
+### Dances
+
+`move(style, t, seed)` returns beat-locked pose offsets. The styles are bounce, hop, roof (arms up), sway, spin (a drawn spin through the key views once a bar), wave, walk, run, idle, stomp and shimmy. `mix` changes style every two bars. `dancer(x, y, u, style, t, extra)` is `clawd` + `move`. You can combine a dance with a face: `{ ...move('bounce', t), eyes: 'happy', mouth: 'grin' }`.
+
+---
+
+## Music (optional)
+
+The kit doesn't need music, but it's built for it:
+
+1. Set `bpm` to the song's tempo in [src/config.js](src/config.js), and set `offset` to the time of its first downbeat in seconds. Every idle, dance and `pulse()` then locks to the song.
+2. Put the audio in `assets/` and set `PROJECT.audio` (or pass `--audio=`). `--clip` and `--encode` mux it in.
+3. Land hits, cuts and takes on beats (`beatN`, `pulse`). Cut on bar lines for big changes, and give each musical phrase its own visual.
+4. **Lyrics are not text.** Don't put words on screen. Act the meaning of a line instead.
+
+## Common failures
+
+These are the things that make a Clawd video look generated. Check your storyboard and sheets against them:
+
+- signs, captions, labels or speech bubbles with words
+- Clawd standing still and smiling while nothing happens
+- everything moving at one brisk speed, with events stacked on top of each other and no holds
+- moments that are over before the viewer understands them
+- a tiny Clawd in a big empty landscape for the whole video
+- faces that snap from one expression to another
+- mechanical motion: linear moves, every part moving at once, both arms or several characters in sync
+- timid poses and takes that barely read
+- jittery linework: still things re-boiling every frame because something moving before them shifted the random stream (`boilSeed`)
+- hard cuts everywhere, or a video that just starts and stops
+- 3D rotation, perspective boxes or projected turns
+- plain p5 shapes, gradients or digital glows mixed into the paint (use `paint`/`inkLine`/`glow`)
+- muddy green-grey glows from painting yellow over blue
+- props floating near a hand instead of touching it
+- every shot a different world with nothing linking them
+
+## About the demo
+
+[src/scenes/demo.js](src/scenes/demo.js) ("The fallen star") exists to show the kit working: an acted emotion timeline, a drawn turn, a trot, a pickup, a throw on an arc, `glow`, a brush wipe and an iris in and out. **It's one idea, not a template.** Don't reuse its story, night sky, hills, star or shot structure. Start from the prompt and your own storyboard, and replace its script tag in `studio.html` with yours.
+
+### Worked example: how the demo times its ending
+
+This shows rule 4 applied to one shot of one video. The reads, the numbers and the way it ends are specific to this story; yours will be different. Read it for the reasoning, not the numbers. It's the demo's last shot, from the throw on, in video time:
+
+| time | read | why it's timed this way |
+|---|---|---|
+| 6.95–7.1 | wind-up and throw | fast motion; it reads because the wind-up anticipates it |
+| 7.1–7.9 | the star flies home | long enough for the eye to follow it from Clawd to the top of the frame; the camera eases back to give it sky |
+| 7.9–8.35 | it arrives: a flare, a sparkle, the sky twinkles | the payoff. Clawd only watches, so nothing competes with it |
+| 8.35–8.95 | Clawd falls in love | the reaction starts only after the viewer has seen the cause |
+| 8.95–9.4 | Clawd waves goodbye | a new action, on its own |
+| 9.4–9.8 | the star twinkles back | the answer to the wave |
+| 9.8–11.0 | iris to Clawd, hold, shut | the last read gets time to land before the video ends |
+
+The first version packed all of this into about 1.3 s, and nobody could tell what had happened.

+# Claude Animation Base
+
+This is a small starter kit with code, instructions and assets for animating a character in [p5.js](https://p5js.org) and [p5.brush](https://github.com/acamposuribe/p5.brush) with Claude Opus 5.5. It's based on the code from the music video [I'm Upping My P(doom)](https://github.com/JohnHeibel/PDoomVideo) and an analysis of what the model did and didn't do well. I highly recommend playing around with your prompting: make it give you the storyboard before coding, give it very broad instructions, try being very specific, ask for subagents, and try a bunch of other fun ways of testing the model's capabilities. In my testing, it can do a lot with very little, but it's also quite accurate when you give it more requirements. Also try asking the model to swap out the character or make new emotions or costumes, give it your own reference images, and try many other fun things like that. I've found that the reasoning level corresponds to how "extravagant" and detail-oriented the model makes the scene. All test videos were generated with Opus 5.5 on xhigh reasoning in Claude Code.
+
+![Clawd's emotions, animated](docs/emotions.webp)
+
+## Make a video
+
+Clone it, open it in Claude Code (or any coding agent) and ask for what you want:
+
+> Read ANIMATION_GUIDE.md, then make a 15-second video of Clawd trying to catch a butterfly.
+
+The model storyboards first, builds shot by shot, renders contact sheets to check its own work, and writes `out/video.mp4`. [ANIMATION_GUIDE.md](ANIMATION_GUIDE.md) holds the rules it follows: handmade, alive, one piece, no text, transitions always, something happens in every scene, and a solid medium of brush strokes, flat 2D and boiling linework. It also covers timing for the viewer and the core principles of character animation.
+
+## Run it yourself
+
+You need Node.js, Google Chrome and ffmpeg.
+
+Without a dedicated GPU, p5.brush's watercolour fills make render times fairly slow, measured in seconds per frame. If you're running on integrated graphics, I recommend asking the model to avoid those fills and replace them with something else appropriate. (I love the look of the watercolours, though.)
+
+```bash
+npm install
+node render.mjs --clip --out=out/video.mp4
+```
+
+That renders the 11-second demo in [src/scenes/demo.js](src/scenes/demo.js). Open [studio.html](studio.html) in Chrome to scrub through it. Add `?loop=emotions` or `?loop=views` to see the model sheets. If Chrome isn't in a standard location, pass `--chrome=<path>` or set `CHROME_PATH`.
+
+On Linux, `render.mjs` starts Chrome with `--no-sandbox` (Ubuntu 23.10+ blocks Chrome's sandbox in headless use) and also finds a Chromium installed by Playwright. With no GPU at all, add `--soft-gl` to render WebGL in software: slow on watercolour fills, but it works. On a headless Linux machine with an NVIDIA GPU (a cloud or cluster node), add `--gpu-angle=gl-egl` (or `vulkan`); `node gpu_probe.mjs <chrome path>` shows which renderer each set of flags gets.

+// clawd.js: Clawd, painted in watercolour and ink. The silhouette is blocky: a 10×6 body, four stubby legs, two little
+// arm nubs and two slit eyes. `u` is the body unit (the body is 10u wide and 8u tall with legs). (x, y) is the point on
+// the ground between the feet.
+//
+// Body-local coordinates in the front view, used by the o.draw / o.armL / o.armR hooks:
+//   body x -5u..5u, y -8u..-2u; eye centres (±2.5u, -6u), each 1u wide and 2u tall; mouth near (0, -4.3u); legs reach y 0.
+//   Arms pivot at (±4.9u, -4.5u) and are 2.2u long. o.armL / o.armR are called at the arm TIP in arm space (x runs
+//   outward along the arm), so a held prop just draws around (0, 0).
+//
