Light Sweep Pass

A traveling key light re-shades a slotted scene: a soft diagonal gradient band crosses the frame once while every per-element highlight and shadow shifts in lockstep (all driven by one —light-x property), then the light settles into a resting key. Quiet, expensive-feeling; the scene itself never moves. Callers fill the named scene slot; a token hero-and-cards default renders when it is left empty.

Paste it into your composition

Open compositions/components/light-sweep-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
`angle`	`115`	60deg to 160deg, step 1deg	Band and highlight gradient angle in degrees.
`sweep_at`	`0.9`	0s to 8s, step 0.05s	Seconds after mount start when the band starts crossing.
`strength`	`standard`	`subtle`, `standard`	Band opacity and highlight bloom multiplier.
`accent`	`green`	`green`, `blue`, `violet`	Tint inside the band and the highlight blooms.
`exit`	`none`	`none`, `fade`, `up`	Outgoing transition. None holds the settled key.

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="light-sweep-pass"
  data-composition-src="compositions/components/light-sweep-pass.html"
  data-variable-values='{"angle":115,"sweep_at":0.9,"strength":"standard","accent":"green","exit":"none"}'
></div>
