A heavy headline scales down hard into frame and lands with a 2–3 frame shake.

What it does

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

Condensed black type arrives from 140% scale with motion blur, stops dead, the frame jolts once, then everything is still.

When: The single loudest claim in a hype cut, or the product name on the music drop.

Watch out: Do not slam more than once or twice per film; repeated impacts read as noise.

Timing: Scale-in 0.18–0.25 s (power4.in), shake 3 frames, then a 1–1.5 s hold. Put it on the beat.

Also called: title slam, punch title, shutter slam

In HyperFrames

npx hyperframes add headline-slam

Place the block so its land frame sits on the downbeat (data-start = beatTime − 0.2).

In Remotion

// npx shadcn@latest add @remocn/impact-shake
const s = interpolate(frame,[0,6],[1.4,1],{extrapolateRight:'clamp',easing:Easing.in(Easing.exp)});
const shake = frame>=6&&frame<9 ? (frame%2?6:-6) : 0;

In CapCut

Text → Animation In: "Zoom in"/"Slam" 0.2 s; add Effects → "Shake" for 3 frames on the land; add a whoosh/impact from Audio → Sound effects.
