Live loop · 6 s · 1920×1080 at 24 fps

Parameters

ParameterTypeWhat it does
text (required)stringwhat is typed (or pasted)
placeholderstringgrey text in the empty field
resultstring | string[]what flips in after the submit: a title line, then up to 3 lines
resultSrc"/assets/<screen>.jpg"a real screen as the result card instead of lines
cpsnumber
Default: 15
characters per second (a person types 8-20)
mistype{at, wrong} | falsea typo and its fix at char index `at`
x / y / widthpxfield centre x, top y, width
ease{"<move>": ease}retune any named move (see the entry's moves): a preset name ("out-expo"), a cubic-bezier [x1, y1, x2, y2], {spring: [hz, damping]} or {trapezoid: [accel, decel]}. A wrong move name or curve throws, it never falls back. A move measured from a reference clip (the replica workbench's measure/*.json, frame-keyed) becomes a curve without conversion: MV.fitEase(doc, "x", {from: 133, to: 142}) or `motion-fit <file> --measure x --from 133 --to 142 --ease`
brandhex
Default: #6B5BFF
the site's brand colour; the component derives its accent (>= 3:1 on the stage), surfaces and ink from it
stage"dark" | "light"
Default: "dark"
the stage the component sits on
displayfont stem
Default: "Inter-Bold"
headline stem; name it in the call so the runtime loads it
bodyfont stem
Default: "Inter-Regular"
UI / body stem; name it in the call so the runtime loads it
start_msms
Default: 300
when the component starts, ms into the shot
backgroundboolean
Default: false
draw the stage background (off: transparent over the shot's own stage)
place{x, y, w, h, z?}the component's place in the shot's layout: it fits its 1920x1080 composition into this stage rect (centred, aspect kept); z orders components front to back. Default: the whole stage

Moves and their curves

Every move is eased on its own. Retune one with ease: { "<move>": <curve> }, a curve name or cubic-bezier handles.

MoveCurveWhat it does
enter.release{"spring":[2.5,1]}the field easing back after the Enter press
drop.openout-cubicthe dropdown opening under the field

accept.fadelinearthe accepted completion's highlight fading

When to use it in a launch film

The hook of a tool that starts from a link: the viewer sees the one input the product needs.

Why it works

Typing is the most legible action on a phone; the autocomplete chip proves the product knows where you are going.

Do not combine with

  • another typing component on screen at the same time (one caret per frame)
  • a real customer URL you were not given (only the brief's own domain)

Job in the film

  • Hook
  • Feature

Natural length

3.2–5.2 s
