Paste it into your composition
Opencompositions/components/drift-hold.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 |
|---|---|---|---|
text | Always alive | string | Text displayed in the default centered card. |
intensity | standard | whisper, standard | Amplitude of the ambient rotation, breathing, and light sweep. |
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="drift-hold"
data-composition-src="compositions/components/drift-hold.html"
data-variable-values='{"text":"Always alive","intensity":"standard"}'

<!--
drift-hold: HyperFrames video primitive (camera / ambient / hold)
Concept: a centered content card never becomes fully static. Sub-degree
rotation, restrained scale breathing, and a soft light sweep each follow
one complete sine cycle across the mounted duration.
Variables:
- text (string, default "Always alive"): the card label.
- intensity (whisper | standard, default "standard"): selects the
amplitudes for rotation, breathing, and the light sweep.
Envelope:
IN = 0s
HOLD = elastic = the complete mounted duration
OUT = 0s
HOLD owns exactly one whole cycle at every duration. The endpoint phase
is explicitly wrapped to zero so the pose at t=0 exactly equals the pose
at t=duration.
Mount contract: the runtime clones only this template. #root fills the
host box, establishes the container query basis, has no data-width or
data-height, and registers one paused timeline under the hardcoded
drift-hold id.
