Cut / reveal — the still splits into halves that slide together (diagonal, or horizontal with a red flash).

`parallax`

TRUE parallax — static sharp subject, the REAL background drifts behind it. The subject is inpainted out of the bg, so there's no ghost twin.

`blurred-parallax`

Soft-backdrop parallax — static subject over a blurred panning background (2-plane sky/ground, or single). For busy backgrounds.

`kinetic`

Typographic headline animated over the still (Pillow text overlay).

`static`

A deliberately held still — better than a twitchy zoom for a calm beat.

Vector animation (sun rises, shapes, morphs, kinetic type) — for educational/diagram scenes.

`talkinghead`

2D lip-sync — static face, the mouth moves with the narration (Rhubarb visemes → mouth-sprite swap). Mouth position + size via mouth_xy (or LLM auto-detected). Best on a clear closed-mouth portrait.

`music`

Free 5-second music-bed samples from the built-in synth provider. These are generated locally with ffmpeg and cost $0. The other free music paths are local commercial-safe files in assets/audio/music/ and freesound CC0 search when a FREESOUND_API_KEY is configured.

cosmic-dread

Low, dark, minor drone for space, black holes, vast scale, dread, and awe.

mournful

Soft darker bed for tragic history, loss, grief, and solemn reflection.

tense-mystery

Suspenseful drone for puzzles, paradoxes, reveals, and unsettling facts.

ancient-lyre

Brighter ancient/folk color for philosophy, myth, classical scenes, and warm irony.

bright-hopeful

Major, warmer bed for optimistic, curious, playful, or light explanatory shorts.

neutral-ambient

Middle-ground fallback when no strong mood is specified.
