Paste it into your composition
Opencompositions/components/scan-band.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 |
|---|---|---|---|
wordmark | HYPERFRAMES | string | Text displayed by the scan effect. |
band_angle | 12 | -30deg to 30deg, step 1deg | Diagonal angle of the distortion band in degrees. |
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="scan-band"
data-composition-src="compositions/components/scan-band.html"
data-variable-values='{"wordmark":"HYPERFRAMES","band_angle":12}'
></div>

<!--
scan-band: HyperFrames video primitive
A single diagonal distortion band crosses a clean wordmark. Inside the
band, three clipped clones create red and cyan separation plus a small
horizontal displacement. Everywhere outside the band remains clean.
Variables:
- wordmark (string, default "HYPERFRAMES"): displayed text.
- band_angle (number, default 12): diagonal band angle in degrees.
Envelope:
IN_BASE = 0.45s, the clean wordmark fades into place.
HOLD = elastic, the band sweeps once, then leaves a clean wordmark.
OUT_BASE = 0.45s, the clean wordmark fades away.
If the duration is shorter than IN_BASE + OUT_BASE, IN and OUT compress
together and HOLD becomes zero. Only HOLD grows for longer mounts.
Mount contract: the runtime clones only this template. #root fills the
host box, establishes the container query basis, and registers one paused
timeline under the hardcoded scan-band id.
