text-over-footage
Style for edit-video: one short, readable line of text over B-roll that matches it, for jokes, observations and setup/payoff reels. Use for POV and relatable text reels, recreations of a text-over-video format, or when there is no talking head.

# Text over footage
A style on top of `edit-video`. The text carries the idea; the footage supplies the
personality, the situation or the payoff. Prefer one clean full-screen shot and one
readable text block, visible from the first frame.
## Copy
- One premise, meaningful line breaks and a short payoff. Borrow the mechanism of a
proven format (a relatable setup, a quick reversal, contrast between text and
footage), then write a line that's true for this creator.
- When recreating a reference, read its overlay from the actual frames. A saved
post's caption field often holds a different line from the one on screen.
- No unrequested CTA, explanatory paragraph or slogan.
