motion-formats

Seven complete motion formats, each with a beat structure in seconds, a shot list and presets: a found-footage analog-horror trailer of a website, an authentic VHS bouncing-logo screensaver, a pixel-art runner on a CRT, a wordmark with a wave running through it, a one-shot music video that follows a DAW timeline, a launch trailer for an import feature, and a kinetic lyric video. Values come from VHS signal models (ntsc-rs, Finn McKenty), pixel-art conventions (Pedro Medeiros, Slynyrd), School of Motion, Netflix timing rules, screenlife rules and launch-film designers on X. Use when someone asks for one of these formats, a VHS or analog-horror look, a pixel art animation, a lyric video or a beat-synced launch video. NOT for generating the song or footage (varg-ai, varg-music-video).

# Motion formats: seven signature videos with beat structures and presets

Seven formats with the structure already worked out: every time derives from the BPM, hits land a frame or two before the transient, and old media is degraded with a signal model rather than an overlay.

## Gates

- **Your own song and brand.** Lyric and music formats use music the person owns or licensed; the wordmark and launch formats use their own brand.
- **Times from the BPM.** Compute t0 + n x (60/BPM); never add up rounded frame counts.
- **Free fonts only.** Every font in the presets is OFL or Apache. Swap in the person's brand font only if they have a license for video.
- **Seek-safe.** Every value is a function of timeline time; randomness is seeded by frame. No `Date.now()`, `requestAnimationFrame` or unseeded `Math.random()`.
- **No credits here.** These templates render locally for free. Generated footage, voice or music is the varg-ai skill: call `estimate_cost` and wait for the person's approval before any generation.
