Comparison Collision V05
Previews are illustrative demonstrations of the technique — not your footage. Your real edit is produced later by Claude Code.
V05 · Visual Beats · intermediate · 1.5–6s
Two option cards fly in from opposite edges, collide in the middle with a small impact, and settle side by side under a VS divider for comparison.
Option A enters from one side, option B from the other; they meet at center with a short impact and bounce apart into an aligned two-column layout with a VS marker between them. The physical collision dramatises the contrast, and the settled alignment makes the comparison easy to scan — same size, same baseline, each with its own label and colour.

If assets are missing
If the script only names one option, use V03 Keyword Spotlight instead. Never add a competitor or a claim about either option that the speaker did not make.
Accessibility
Distinguish the two sides by position and label, not colour alone. Keep the impact shake ≤ 4 frames; disable it for motion-sensitive audiences.
Individual prompt
updates with the parameters above# CES style instruction — V05 Comparison Collision You are an experienced motion designer and video editor working in Claude Code. Apply the **V05 Comparison Collision** technique to the supplied footage as specified below. **B. Project configuration:** 1080×1920, 9:16, 30 fps · Source video: not provided — ask the user for the path before starting · Video language (on-screen text & captions): English **Visual Beats** — Option A enters from one side, option B from the other; they meet at center with a short impact and bounce apart into an aligned two-column layout with a VS marker between them. The physical collision dramatises the contrast, and the settled alignment makes the comparison easy to scan — same size, same baseline, each with its own label and colour. ### V05 Comparison Collision - **When:** ≈ 00:00.00 → 00:03.00 (≈ derived — adjust to the nearest natural beat in the footage) - **Layer / track:** V2+ (overlay above the picture) - **What it does:** Two option cards fly in from opposite edges, collide in the middle with a small impact, and settle side by side under a VS divider for comparison. - **Parameters:** Option A: (not set); Option B: (not set); Collision: Slam + bounce apart; Settled layout: Side by side; Option A colour: #FF7A6B; Option B colour: #779CFF; Impact shake: on - **Steps:** 1. Option labels are not fully set. Use the two things the speaker contrasts, named in their own words from the transcript; any attributes shown under each must also come from the script or supplied assets — never invented pros/cons. 2. Build two equal cards (42% wide × 34% tall each, 3% radius) from 00:00.00 to 00:03.00. If product images or screenshots are supplied, place them in the cards; otherwise use the label only. 3. Animate A from off-frame left and B from off-frame right, accelerating (ease-in) to meet at center in 11 frames, then rebound apart to their settled columns over 12 frames with a back-out curve with slight overshoot (cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1)). 4. On contact: a 4-frame positional shake of the card layer (≤ 1% of frame width) and a brief white flash line along the contact edge (2 frames, 60%). 5. Once settled, pop a "VS" badge (Space Grotesk black, ≈ 7% of frame width) into the gap with scale 0 → 1.1 → 1. Hold the aligned comparison ≥ 1.5s (longer while the speaker compares), then slide both cards out. - **Assets:** Source video (⚠ MISSING) · optional: Product image, Screenshots, Transcript with timing - **Fallback:** If the script only names one option, use V03 Keyword Spotlight instead. Never add a competitor or a claim about either option that the speaker did not make. **G. Asset integrity and restrictions:** - Do not create or present invented testimonials, comments, quotes, reviews or endorsements. - Do not fabricate numbers, metrics, charts or results. Data visualisations use only the supplied data. - Do not create fake screenshots or UI and present them as real. Illustrative graphics must be clearly illustrative. - Do not attempt unsupported 3D reconstructions or perfect subject separation without a mask; use the documented 2D fallbacks instead. **I. Quality verification:** - Check output dimensions and aspect ratio with ffprobe — they must match the configuration exactly. - Check the output frame rate and that the duration is within ±0.5 s of the target. - Check audio/video synchronisation at the start, middle and end (lip-sync and SFX hits within 1 frame). - Inspect frames at every beat boundary for text clipping, overflow and safe-zone violations. - Confirm the output file exists and plays — never claim a render is complete without an actual output file. - Report any missing asset or unimplemented effect explicitly.

Insert a beat whenever the script changes idea, lists items or lands a key line.
- V01Kinetic Section TitleA short chapter title rises out of a hidden mask line by line with a small chapter number above it, holds for a beat, then slides away.
- V02Number BurstNumbers or ranking positions from the script burst onto the frame one after another with a staggered scale pop and radiating accent sparks.
- V03Keyword SpotlightThe footage dims and softens while one key phrase appears large and lit, framed by a highlight box, then everything returns to normal.
- V04List CascadeList items slide in one after another with numbered markers; the current item stays bright while earlier ones step back, keeping a clear hierarchy.
- V06Progress JourneyA progress track with labelled step markers fills from one step to the next, lighting each stage as it is reached to show how far along the story is.
- V07Callout BubbleA speech bubble or label pops out of an object in the shot with a pointer tail attached to it, explaining what it is in a few words.
- V08Shape MorphA bold geometric shape smoothly morphs between compatible forms — circle, square, triangle — rotating as it goes, to mark a change of idea.
- V09Data Visualization BeatA clean chart builds on screen from supplied data — bars grow, a line draws or a ring fills — with the key value highlighted and a source line.
- V10Statement RevealA strong sentence appears in stages — phrase by phrase in muted type — and the final key words land last in full colour with a heavier weight.
