HUMAN IN THE LOOP / BY VALLYSEED

HITL style pack.

Creative Mode inspired layouts in the podcast's cream, ink, and electric indigo.

PODCAST VIDEO DIRECTION

Approved on 30 October 2026: combine real host footage, relevant B-roll, and purposeful editorial animation, following the EP29 B-roll edition. Use illustrated characters for selected openings or explanation beats and keep the bottom word-highlight captions across every visual type. Read the production guidelines.

MOTION RESTRAINT · HARD RULE

Use at most 3 line-animation sequences per entire video, including repeated appearances across scenes. Three is a ceiling, not a quota. Use deterministic spring motion for authored movement, smooth visible line growth and staged text; keep opacity/color bounded and faces/captions clear. Read the counting and review rules. The numeric policy is in assets/motion-policy.json; run node tools/verify-hitl-motion-budget.mjs /path/to/video for the declared-sequence count.

INSTAGRAM CAROUSELS

Use the host’s clean illustrations and source-based editorial layouts for square image carousels. Export ordered 1080×1080 PNGs and an image-only ZIP, with a source map and verified gallery. Read the carousel guidelines. The shared vault skill is .agents/skills/create-hitl-instagram-carousel/SKILL.md.

LIVE-FOOTAGE INTRODUCTIONS

Two transparent, editable lower thirds add Oscar’s or Matt’s name, role, and short biography over camera footage. They use the HITL cream, ink and indigo system. See both examples and read the placement and motion rules.

MULTICAM / 2–4 PEOPLE

Preview all four camera views: two hosts side by side, three equal cameras in a horizontal row, a featured guest beside both hosts, or a larger four-person grid. Conversation views have no persistent names or role bars. Reusable components, full-resolution preview images and layout coordinates are included. Guest slots are labeled abstract placeholders. Read the placement, caption and replacement rules.

PORTRAIT CAMERAS

Large solo and stacked two-person views carry the complete logo, show name and ruled website footer. Captions overlay the picture. See both previews and read the geometry and editorial rules. Reusable components and layout data are included.

FILES

START A VIDEO IN THINKING-VAULT

From 10 Content Engine/Hyperframes:

npm run new -- video-slug hitl-style-pack

The helper copies the frame specification and assets into the new project. Implement the selected scene treatment; the blank starter does not style itself.

USE ELSEWHERE

Copy FRAME.md to the video's root and merge assets/ with the video's assets. Load assets/hitl-style.css for the local fonts and example classes. Keep this README and the showcase as reference material outside the rendered composition.

The logo is the supplied existing master, unchanged. Font licenses accompany the font files. The illustrated diagram and prompts are sample editorial copy; the Matt Wozniak quote is sourced from the podcast website's Episode 27 section.
