That writes one file:compositions/components/physical-exit.html.
Paste it into your composition
Opencompositions/components/physical-exit.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 |
|---|---|---|---|
mode | toss | toss, drop, slide | Physical behavior used to carry the card offscreen. |
text | Later | string | Word displayed on the exiting card. |
accent | green | green, blue, violet | Color applied to the card edge. |
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="physical-exit"
data-composition-src="compositions/components/physical-exit.html"
data-variable-values='{"mode":"toss","text":"Later","accent":"green"}'

<!--
physical-exit: HyperFrames video primitive (motion / exit / physical)
Concept: one card leaves the frame with visible momentum. The mode variable
owns the exit behavior: toss follows an arc, drop accelerates under gravity,
and slide stretches at peak lateral speed. Every mode carries rotation into
its final offscreen pose. The card never fades during its exit.
Variables:
- mode (toss | drop | slide, default toss): the physical exit behavior.
- text (string, default "Later"): the word displayed on the card.
- accent (green | blue | violet, default green): the card edge color.
Envelope (fixed IN and OUT, elastic HOLD only, never timeScale):
IN_BASE = 0.45s the card settles into its resting pose
HOLD = elastic = max(0, D - (IN_BASE + OUT_BASE)); subtle drift
OUT_BASE = 0.85s the selected physical exit carries the card offscreen
If D is shorter than IN_BASE + OUT_BASE, IN and OUT compress together and
HOLD becomes zero.
Mount contract: this file is a template-wrapped sub-composition. The runtime
clones only the template contents. #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 physical-exit id.
