Author's description

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.
