[ shaanks / motion identity v1 / 3 oct 2026 ]

cut rarely.move constantly.

The motion system the Claude editor puts on every edit: your talking heads, green screen, product films and ad cutdowns. These three samples were written as HyperFrames compositions and rendered on your Mac.

the spine

Your own footage. Captions land on the word, a snap zoom hits on "taste", then you shrink into a corner and the point takes the frame. Tap for sound.

mode a / 6 s / 0 cuts

the window

A product beat. Real Hook Library numbers, counted up in the window, then the frameworks fill in and one goes live.

mode c / 8 s / 0 cuts

the drench

The brand sting. Three surfaces wipe over each other while the caption pill holds its place, then inverts on orange.

sting / 7 s / 0 cuts
[ the idea ]

the surfaceis the cut.

The 100x reel you saved cuts only 2.5 times every 10 seconds, but something new happens on screen 5.9 times: the graphics never stop moving inside a long shot. Your own saved talking heads agree. Of 153, 35% are a single take and 54% have no music. So we stop chopping you up and get the energy from the surface instead: white, then black, then orange. A surface change reads like a cut without cutting a word.

Here is the spine sample, laid out on its real timings. The footage never breaks. Everything else moves around it.

Caption sync checked by running Whisper on the rendered file: all seven cards land on their word with 0 ms drift.
