| Name strap | Name + role | Bottom left, safe area | 4 to 6 s, first appearance only |
| Location | Place, city | Top left | 3 s |
| Date or time jump | "Three months later" | Center | 2.5 s |
| Chapter | Number + title | Center or left column | 3 s |
| Source | "Source: [name]" | Bottom right, small | As long as the claim is on screen |

## Type

- Role: same typeface Regular, 30 px, 75% opacity.
- Chapter titles: [display typeface or serif], 72 px.
- All caps only for short labels (LOCATION, CHAPTER 2), never for names.

## Layout
- Left edge aligned to 5% of width for every card. Bottom edge at 10% of height for name straps.
- Accent bar: [4] px wide, [accent #HEX], height equals the text block.
- Over busy footage: box at [#111111] 80% opacity, 16 px padding.

## Motion
- In: bar wipes 8 frames, name 12 frames ease out with a 20 px slide, role follows 4 frames later.
- Out: 8 frames ease in, all elements together.
- Same timing for every card type. No exceptions per speaker.

## Content rules
- Show each person's name strap the first time they speak, and again only after a long absence.
- Roles: short and how the person wants to be described. Confirm spelling with the client list.
- Source cards for every number or claim that is not the speaker's own.
