# One background plate, few cuts

Edit / Transition / Motion graphics. Checked 2026-11-13.

The film feels like one continuous space; things arrive, scenes do not change.

- Use when: Launch films for software, connectors and integrations.
- Phrase: one blurred photographic sky plate with grain under the whole film; every card and headline enters on it with a blur-in

## Watch out

- Measured on a 40-second launch film: two hard cuts in total, at 3.6 and 8.8 seconds. Everything else enters on the plate or morphs in place. (measured; Director Chair notes on Launch video structure on Poolday (Raphael Guilhem))
