Kinetic Type Manifesto v1.1.0

Typographic motion films from words alone. Each line is a shot: words rise from masks on a two-typeface system, one accent colour carries emphasis, and colour wipes hide every cut. The renderer is a pure function of time, so frames are exact and repeatable.

How it works

1. Brief — your agent collects the message, audience, languages, formats, brand colours and CTA, asking only for what is missing.
2. Script — it writes the lines first (one idea per scene) and waits for your approval. Other languages are adapted, not translated word for word.
3. scenes.json — the approved script becomes a small JSON file with six scene types: statement, words, list, stat, quote and cta.
4. Validate — a checker flags reading speed that is too fast, overlong lines, missing CTA and low colour contrast.
5. Draft — a half-resolution render and a poster frame in seconds, for review.
6. Final — H.264 MP4 at full resolution, re-targeted to 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 or 4:5 from the same script, with optional licensed music.

What makes it production-ready

• Text auto-fits the frame and stays out of TikTok/Reels/Shorts UI on vertical video.
• CJK languages use weight instead of fake italics; line breaking follows each language.
• Numbers in stat scenes count up; logos and URLs land on the end card.
• No API keys and no paid services: everything renders on your machine.

Tips

• Keep statements under eight words; split long ideas into two scenes.
• One emphasis phrase per scene reads better than three.
• Render a draft for each language before the finals.
