ASCII Render Pass

Paste it into your composition

Open compositions/components/ascii-render-pass.html and copy what is inside into your own composition.A component has no size or duration of its own. It takes both from the composition you paste it into.

Variables

Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you want to change on the element:

Variable	Default	Accepts	What it does
`charset`	`.:-=+*#%@`	string	Density ramp, dark to light. A leading space keeps dark cells empty.
`grid`	`med`	`coarse`, `med`, `fine`	Final cell pitch the resolve lands on.
`resolve_at`	`1.4`	0.6s to 10s, step 0.1s	Seconds from mount start when the coarse-to-fine resolve begins.
`accent`	`green`	`green`, `blue`, `violet`	Glyph ink: green rides —brand, blue rides —accent, violet rides —accent-2.
`exit`	`none`	`none`, `fade`, `up`	Optional departure. Default none: the fine render holds until the frame cuts.

Set them with data-variable-values on the element that mounts it. These are the defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:

<div
  data-composition-id="ascii-render-pass"
  data-composition-src="compositions/components/ascii-render-pass.html"
  data-variable-values='{"charset":" .:-=+*#%@","grid":"med","resolve_at":1.4,"accent":"green","exit":"none"}'
></div>
