Questions
Why does the background move before the text?
Leading every seam with the canvas by about 0.1 s makes the eye travel first, so the film reads as one surface being driven. If the text moved first it would look like slides over a busy background.
Is the dot pattern an image or a video?
Neither. It is two CSS radial-gradient layers on one oversized element, animated only with transforms and wash opacities, so it stays sharp and renders the same every time.
Can PopNow generate footage for this film?
No. The canvas is the subject and is on screen every frame, so the skill only uses PopNow for an optional music bed and effect sounds, quoted before anything is spent.
What if I only have a mock-up of my interface?
The skill asks for a real capture or a rebuild of your own interface for the proof beat. A generic mock makes a film about precision look imprecise, and the skill will say so.
