Editorial Structure & Storyboard Timeline (778s Total Runtime · Fluid (2.6s avg shot))
- 01 · THE HOOK (00:00 – 01:49 · 14%): 0-Second Macro Canvas Cold Open for Figma — Opens immediately on the high-contrast tension point before showing the brand logo, locking viewer retention in the first 109 seconds. (Camera: 1.6x macro push-in with 0ms dead air on frame 1)
- 02 · HERO UI REVEAL (01:49 – 05:42 · 30%): Core Figma Surface & Interaction Loop — Demonstrates the primary action in a single continuous take (233s) with cursor smoothing and highlighted focal bounds. (Camera: Isometric-to-flat spring settle (cubic-bezier 0.22, 1, 0.36, 1))
- 03 · VELOCITY MONTAGE (05:42 – 10:07 · 34%): Multi-State Feature Proof on Downbeat Cuts — Compresses 3–4 secondary workflows into rapid visual proof without narration drag. (Camera: Fluid (2.6s avg shot) matched to 116 BPM transients)
- 04 · PAYOFF & LOCKUP (10:07 – 12:58 · 22%): Figma Brand Lockup & Availability CTA — Holds final URL and launch status cleanly for 171s so viewers on X stop scrolling and click the link. (Camera: Clean center lockup with subtle radial luminance decay)
