✦ Affirmology Title System

The reusable, alignment-locked text system for the gold AFFIRMOLOGY title. Everything is anchored to ONE canonical frame so intros, outros, the name-morph, and any future title animation all line up pixel-for-pixel on screen.

How it was built (the winning pipeline)

1. The gold beveled title was generated as a STILL by the model (Nano Banana), so the text is always crisp and never garbles.
2. Motion comes from Higgsfield's two-keyframe video model (Kling 3.0), which animates from a start frame to an end frame. This is why the morph is fluid molten gold rather than a hard cut.
3. Backgrounds are pure black, then the black is keyed out (lumakey) to make a transparent .mov you drop over any nebula/space footage. NOTE: hand-coded/remotion text was abandoned; it looked cheap. This pipeline is the standard going forward.

THE CANONICAL FRAME (the lock)

• AFFIRMOLOGY_canonical_BLACK.png - the locked gold AFFIRMOLOGY on black, 1280x720.
• AFFIRMOLOGY_canonical_ALPHA.png - same, transparent background (overlay-ready). This is the anchor. Every title animation begins or ends on this exact frame and resolution, so when you stack them in CapCut the word AFFIRMOLOGY sits in the identical position and size. Don't move or rescale it; keep it at 1280x720, centered as generated.

ASSETS (all 1280x720)

Intros (lead INTO the title - they END on the canonical frame): - INTRO_black_to_AFFIRMOLOGY.mp4 / ..._ALPHA.mov - from black, molten gold gathers and forms AFFIRMOLOGY.

Outros (lead OUT of the title - they START on the canonical frame): - OUTRO_AFFIRMOLOGY_to_black.mp4 / ..._ALPHA.mov - AFFIRMOLOGY dissolves back into gold and away to black.

The name-morph (the etymology money-shot) - APPROVED, two keepers (Jeff 2026-06-24): Built via Kling 3.0 two-keyframe morphs between the black-bg state stills (AFFIRMOLOGY → AFFIRMATIONS + ASTROLOGY + AI → AFFIRM + OLOGY + AI → AFFIRMOLOGY.AI → AFFIRMOLOGY), ~6-7s, at the locked pace. - affirmology_NAMEMORPH_CHROME_v4_gold.mp4 / ..._ALPHA.mov - KEEPER. Molten reflective liquid GOLD, contained low horizontal ripple on every transition (the look Jeff loved on the Affirmations→Affirm beat). Transition 2 slowed + Affirm+ology+AI held a beat longer. (v3_gold = before that timing tweak.) - affirmology_NAMEMORPH_INK.mp4 / ..._ALPHA.mov - KEEPER. Golden ink-in-water bloom. - Other styles explored (in grand_bridge, not chosen): SHARDS, molten streaks, particle, flash. Style test samples in STYLE_*.mp4. - Earlier/quick versions: affirmology_NAMEMORPH_v4_snappy, _v3, _v6_quick, _NAMEPARTICLE_*. All anchored to the canonical AFFIRMOLOGY frame, so they cut cleanly with the intros/outros.

How to use in CapCut

1. Drop the _ALPHA.mov on a track above your space/nebula background. The black is already keyed out.
2. Do NOT rescale or reposition the title clips relative to each other - they are all anchored to the canonical frame, so they already align. Position the whole stack once.
3. To extend the title on screen, freeze-frame the canonical end of any clip (or drop in AFFIRMOLOGY_canonical_ALPHA.png) for as long as you want, then play the outro.
4. To build a sequence: [any INTRO] → hold on canonical → [name-morph or OUTRO]. They cut together cleanly because the AFFIRMOLOGY frame matches.

Open / next

• Add more intros (e.g., particles converge, light-streak wipe) and outros (explode, swoosh-off) - all built to end/start on the canonical frame.
• If we want the entrance and reveal title clips (the nebula versions) to align too, rebuild them off this canonical frame.
• Morph speed is now snappy (v4); can go faster or adjust the hold on any single word on request.

Affirmology_TitleSystem_v1 - the canonical AFFIRMOLOGY is the lock; everything aligns to it. Nothing here touches the demo.
