The cursor grabs a card, lifts and tilts it while carrying, and drops it into a new column with a settle.

## What it does

Built on [Drag and Drop Cursor](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/tree/main/registry/components/cursor-drag-drop) by HeyGen (HyperFrames), Apache-2.0. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

Card scales to 1.04, tilts ~3° in the direction of travel and gains shadow; on drop it straightens and neighbors shuffle.

**When:** Task boards, file managers, builders — anything where drag is the core action.

**Watch out:** Do not move the card at linear speed; drag should accelerate and decelerate like a hand.

**Timing:** Lift 0.15 s, carry 0.6–0.9 s power2.inOut, drop settle 0.25 s back.out(1.4).

**Also called:** drag and drop, kanban drag, move task

### In HyperFrames

```bash
npx hyperframes add cursor-drag-drop
```

### In Remotion

```tsx
// npx shadcn@latest add @remocn/cursor  (drag waypoint)
const p = interpolate(frame,[10,34],[0,1],{extrapolateLeft:'clamp',extrapolateRight:'clamp',easing:Easing.inOut(Easing.quad)});
const tilt = Math.sin(p*Math.PI)*3;
```

### In CapCut

Overlay a card screenshot, keyframe Position and Rotation (0° → 3° → 0°) with a cursor sticker parented by matching keyframes.
