How do I make the impact and name land at the right time?

Set impactAt to the landing moment and nameAt to a later stable pose. The renderer adds a short expanding ring, your exact name and traits, then holds the final frame for 0.8 seconds.

Can I use my own footage?

Yes. Point the project input at a local clip or pass --input. The renderer checks the chosen range and never uploads local material.

What has the renderer actually checked?

It verifies input values, source duration, frame rendering and output duration. You still need to watch for believable action, stable subjects and good sound timing.

An original character jumps into an arcade stage and lands in a title pose. Stage entrance, impact, recovery and pose in that order. Align the shockwave to the real landing frame and reserve space beside the character for the name reveal. PopNow can create the reference and motion clip after a quote; the local compositor applies the finishing treatment to that clip or your own footage.
