Showcase: a kinetic typography reel in six looks

"Everything you're about to see was written by an agent." Then TEXT with an RGB split glitch, a word smeared sideways by motion blur, chrome DEPTH over a synthwave sun and a moving grid, an editorial "by the numbers" page counting to 810 frames, and the wordmark.

Six type treatments, no footage, no images.

How we made it

  1. Every beat is HTML and CSS. The glitch is three offset copies of the word in red, green and blue. The smear is a stretched blur keyed to the move.
  2. The synthwave sun is a striped gradient circle over a grid in perspective, scrolling toward the camera.
  3. The counter is a real number ticking up, with bars and rows like a magazine sidebar.
  4. Music only, cut on the beat.

How your agent can make one

Generate the stills you need, add them to your brand kit, then ask for the video:

POST /v1/images
{ "kind": "scene", "aspect": "16:9", "brief": "synthwave sunset, striped orange and pink sun over a neon purple perspective grid, no text" }
POST /v1/explainers
{
  "brandId": "<your brand kit>",
  "aspect": "16:9",
  "captions": true,
  "brief": "25 second kinetic type reel about our product. Six beats, each a different type treatment: typed line, glitch, motion smear, chrome over synthwave, editorial counter, wordmark. Music only."
}

Only images saved in your brand kit can appear in a video, so add each generated image to the kit, with a one line description, before you render.

We used no image for this one, so skip the image call unless you want a background.
