# Type Match Cut

A headline splits vertically around an incoming panel, which grows from the negative space and takes the frame as the words exit through opposite edges.

**Type Match Cut**

```html type-match-cut.html
<!doctype html>
<!--
  type-match-cut: HyperFrames video primitive

  A headline splits into upper and lower word groups. An incoming editor
  panel appears in the negative space between them, holds there as a visible
  geometric match, then grows to fill the frame while the words arc through
  the top and bottom edges.

  Variables:
    text: headline copy
    accent: green, blue, or violet incoming-scene accent

  Envelope, fixed IN and OUT with elastic HOLD:
    IN_BASE  = 1.05s, words separate and expose the matched panel slot
    HOLD     = max(0, D - IN - OUT), the slot breathes almost imperceptibly
    OUT_BASE = 1.15s, the panel takes the frame while both word groups exit
    If D is shorter than IN_BASE + OUT_BASE, IN and OUT compress together.
    The timeline is never time-scaled.

  Mount contract: the runtime clones only this template. #root fills the host
  box, establishes the container query basis, and has no data-width or
  data-height. One paused timeline registers under the literal type-match-cut
  key.

Copy npx hyperframes add type-match-cut to the clipboard

That writes one file: `compositions/components/type-match-cut.html`.

## Paste it into your composition

Open `compositions/components/type-match-cut.html` and copy what is inside into your own composition.

A component has no size or duration of its own. It takes both from the composition
you paste it into.

## Variables

Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you
want to change on the element:

| Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does |
| - | - | - | - |
| `text` | `Meet the new editor` | string | Text split around the incoming panel. |
| `accent` | `green` | `green`, `blue`, `violet` | Accent color used by the incoming editor scene. |

Set them with `data-variable-values` on the element that mounts it. These are the
defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:

```html wrap
<div
  data-composition-id="type-match-cut"
  data-composition-src="compositions/components/type-match-cut.html"
  data-variable-values='{"text":"Meet the new editor","accent":"green"}'
></div>
```

{/* hf:generated-footer */}
