A high-contrast QR code with a one-line reason to scan, held long enough to grab a phone.

What it does

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

Black-on-white QR (≥300 px on 1080p) on a card with a light border beam; "Scan to try free" beside it; logo small above.

When: Event screens, keynotes, TV/CTV spots and any video shown on a big screen.

Watch out: Do not flash it for 2 seconds; hold it at least 7–10 s and never animate the code itself.

Timing: Card in 0.4 s, code static, hold 7–10 s; border beam loop 3–5 s.

Also called: QR end card, scan CTA, QR code outro

In FFmpeg

ffmpeg -i film.mp4 -i qr.png -filter_complex "[1]scale=320:-1[q];[0][q]overlay=W-w-120:H-h-120:enable='gte(t,38)'" out.mp4

In HyperFrames

npx hyperframes add camera-scan-gate

Render the QR as a static <img> inside a white card; only the frame/beam animates.

In Remotion

// npx shadcn@latest add @magicui/border-beam
<div style={{background:'#fff', padding:24, borderRadius:24}}><Img src={qr} style={{width:320}}/></div>

In CapCut

Overlay the QR PNG at the lower right inside the guides, no animation on the code; add a Text line "Scan to try" with Fade in.
