Structure · 起承轉合

起 is a short strike — the start point. 承 is the long stretch that spreads out from it. 轉 is the change point, a second or two. 合 resolves. After a 轉 comes another 承.

Two levels: the overall arc runs through the whole video and stays simple; the animation arc is the finer beat the layers move to, with its own span. Both are reference lines only — like a grid on a canvas.

Snap layers to 起承轉合

Layers0

Double-click an empty spot on a track to drop a layer there; drag its edges to trim, drag it up or down to change track. ⌘/Ctrl-click a layer to add it to the selection and ⇧-click to extend the run — on the timeline or in this list — then dragging any one of them moves them all, on the timeline and on stage. A layer can follow a parent layer from its inspector; its position then becomes a local offset. Copy/paste keeps the layer's camera-relative position and pastes it at the current playhead.

Backdrop videonone

Use standard media file picker

Three visual channels sit behind every text layer. Add several videos to one lane, then set each clip's timing, In / Out fade, opacity, loop, fit, and mask. Video audio is muted; use the Audio lanes for sound.

Audiono audio

BGM is one analysed source. Add as many voiceover or effects clips as you need; each can be positioned and mixed independently on its lane. Double-click an audio waveform to add a volume key, then drag its diamond vertically to automate the level.

Snap text to VO words

Import a voiceover, then press Analyse words on its lane. Word boundaries stay attached when the VO is slipped.

The click is its own bus — it plays over the imported track, and with no music loaded the manual tempo still gives you a grid to snap to.

Typefacesloading…

A fallback stack. Each character is drawn with the first font that actually has a glyph for it — so a Latin display face can carry the headline while a CJK face picks up 起承轉合.

Outlines are extracted with opentype.js and triangulated into three.js meshes — every glyph is an independent object, so effects can move them one by one.
