Features land in a grid of differently sized rounded tiles — one hero tile, smaller supporting ones.

What it does

Built on Rounded Media Grid by HeyGen (HyperFrames), Apache-2.0. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

Apple-style bento: 1 large + 3–5 small tiles, generous gaps, each tile one idea (icon, number or mini UI); tiles assemble in a stagger.

When: Recap of features near the end, or the "everything you get" beat.

Watch out: Do not fill every tile with text; one visual and ≤ 5 words per tile.

Timing: Tiles 0.4–0.5 s each, 60–100 ms stagger hero-first; hold 2–3 s; optional slow camera drift.

Also called: bento, feature tiles, summary grid

In HyperFrames

npx hyperframes add mk-placeholder-grid

Use the hero-plus-two / 3×2 layouts; drop media into slots; tl.from(".cell",{y:30,opacity:0,stagger:0.08}).

In Remotion

<div style={{display:'grid',gridTemplateColumns:'2fr 1fr 1fr',gridTemplateRows:'1fr 1fr',gap:24}}>
  {tiles.map((t,i)=>{const s=spring({frame:frame-i*3,fps,config:{damping:200}}); return <Tile style={{opacity:s,transform:`translateY(${(1-s)*30}px)`, gridArea:t.area}}/>})}
</div>

In CapCut

Templates → search "bento"/"grid collage"; or Layout split-screen templates with rounded masks.
