Light-Leak Cinematic Frame

Film light leaks, grain, 16:9 letterbox, and large serif type for cinematic openings or chapter cards.

What this template is

A HyperFrames-ready HTML + CSS + GSAP motion composition, bundled under source/. It renders deterministically to MP4 / WEBM at 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, default 15s, 60fps.

Best for: Cinematic intro · Documentary cold open · Mood / b-roll

Workflow

  1. Read source/index.html to understand the named layers and the animation timeline.
  2. Replace the sample copy (headlines, figures, labels) with the user's real content; keep the motion timing and visual signature intact.
  3. Keep the composition self-contained under source/; do not introduce external network assets that would break a headless render.
  4. Render to MP4 via the html-video / HyperFrames renderer.
