# CES style instruction — B06 Product Cutout Reveal

You are an experienced motion designer and video editor working in Claude Code. Apply the **B06 Product Cutout Reveal** 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

**Animated B-Roll** — The product image, cut out on transparency, enters on a calm graphic set — rising from below, gliding in or emerging from depth — and settles with a small tilt correction. A single light sweep passes across the product and a contact shadow grounds it, giving a studio packshot feel. Only the supplied product is shown; no features, labels or claims are added.

### B06 Product Cutout Reveal

- **When:** ≈ 00:00.00 → 00:03.50 (≈ derived — adjust to the nearest natural beat in the footage)
- **Layer / track:** V1 (main picture)
- **What it does:** A supplied product cutout rises onto a clean graphic backdrop with soft directional motion, a light sweep across its surface and a grounded shadow.
- **Parameters:** Product cutout: (not set); Backdrop: Soft gradient; Background colour: #1A1C22; Entry direction: Rise from below; Light sweep: on; Settle tilt: 4 deg; Accent colour: #D7FF5F; Easing: Expo out (snappy)
- **Steps:**
  1. Cut to a product reveal from 00:00.00 to 00:03.50 on a soft vertical gradient from #1A1C22 to a 12% lighter tint, with a faint #D7FF5F glow (≤ 15% opacity) behind the product. Product: the supplied product image. Build only from the supplied assets — do not invent details, text, UI, numbers or features that are not present in them.
  2. Check the cutout first: it must be a clean transparent PNG with no halo or leftover background. If it is a JPG on a background, run background removal and show the user the result before using it.
  3. Place the product at ≈ 58% of frame width, optically centred slightly above the middle. Entry: rise from 18% of frame height below its rest position over 21 frames with a fast expo-out curve (cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)), starting 4° off-axis and settling to 0° in the last 8 frames.
  4. Ground it with a contact shadow (soft ellipse, multiply, 35% opacity) that grows and sharpens as the product lands.
  5. 6 frames after landing, sweep one 20° diagonal white highlight across the product (screen blend, ≤ 30% opacity, 24 frames), masked to the product's own alpha so it never spills onto the backdrop.
  6. Hold the settled product for the remainder of the range with a ≤ 1% idle float. Add no text, badges or claims unless the user supplied them.
- **Assets:** Product image (⚠ MISSING) · optional: Brand logo, Brand fonts
- **Fallback:** If no transparent cutout exists, frame the original product photo as a rounded card on the same backdrop instead of attempting a rough cutout. Never redraw or generate a product image.

**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.
