Author's description

Maintain the existing May Shorts teaching compositions using their legacy face-mode, scene-overlay, and karaoke-caption patterns. Use only when working on those examples or explicitly requesting this legacy scaffold. For new reels, Shorts, or short advertisements, use short-form-edit.

Use it when

  • You are working on the existing May Shorts examples
  • You explicitly ask for the legacy four-layer scaffold
  • You need to retime a short that is already built

Not for

  • New reels, Shorts or ads, which use short-form-edit
  • Projects that are not built on HyperFrames

What you get

Vertical 1080x1920 HyperFrames compositions with a face layer, scene overlays and word-synced karaoke captions.

How to ask for it

  • Update the May Shorts composition using the legacy face-mode
  • I need to touch the old May Shorts scaffold, not a new one
  • Add karaoke-style captions to this legacy May Shorts composition

Install

What format are the videos?
Vertical 1080x1920, 10 to 30 seconds, with a talking face, scene overlays and karaoke captions.
Does it need HyperFrames?
Yes. It sits on top of /hyperframes and does not replace its composition rules.
