Use the Stretch block from Scenario's Kinetic Film skill (https://www.scenario.com/explorations/kinetic-film/). Install the skill (Scenario's ZIP into ~/.claude/skills/scenario-kinetic-film) and connect the Scenario MCP for music and sound. Start a film folder with sh ~/.claude/skills/scenario-kinetic-film/scripts/new_film.sh my-film starter, then add the block to spec.js on the beat grid, for example [Stretch, 52, 60, { word: 'ELASTIC.', grounds: [[0, 'accent'], [4, 'paper'], [5, 'accent']], code: true }]. Its nominal length is 8 beats; keep the span close to that. Options are in references/blocks.md. Every frame is a pure function of t, so render with the skill's render.py (1080p, then 4K) and run finish.py until it prints ALL CHECKS PASS.
