Editor Motion Graphics

Requires

A running Scrollmark editor whose commands you can call, signed in to SocialGPT: motion graphics are generated on SocialGPT's servers and cost credits. Without it, the rules for when a graphic is earned still hold in any editor.

A motion graphic is a short designed clip for one moment: a photo cutaway, a stat, a step card, a product or price tag, a notification, a headline card. A motion designer builds it from the footage, the words spoken there and the project's design style, and the editor places it on the timeline when it is done.

1. Only when asked

Make a graphic only when the user asked for one, in any words ("add a title", "put her name up", "show the price", "make the stat pop"). Never add a hook, title or text graphic on your own, even to open a video or after a recut. Captions are not motion graphics: the editor captions the whole video (editor-captions).

The template title commands graphics.addTitleCard and packs.insertTitleScene are turned off; titles, hooks, CTAs and text graphics all come from media_generate with kind: "motion".

2. One call per moment

Call media_generate with kind: "motion", one call for each moment. Several moments ("the stat and the price") are several calls in the same round.

A speaker's name, with an optional role, is not a motion graphic: add it with graphics.addLowerThird, which is free, instant and editable. Make a motion name tag only when the user asks for a designed or animated one, or wants more than a name and a role in it.
