A14-ui-panel-float

A14 — UI panel float

Composes

ui-panel-float-z (the Z-axis drift + tilt + blur halo)
aurora-blob-continuity (renders behind, pack-required)
Optional sticker-chip-pop for callout labels around the panel

Renderer

hyperframe-gsap preferred — CSS 3D transforms and backdrop-filter give better depth than Remotion's pure flat compositing.

Layout

canvas: 1080x1920 (or pack-specified)

panel_zone: anchor: center origin: { x: canvas_w/2, y: canvas_h/2 } width: 720-900px (UI is rendered at near-product fidelity) border_radius: 24 shadow: offset_y_px: 32 blur_px: 64 opacity: 0.12 tilt_deg: -3 # subtle Y-axis tilt blur_halo_px: 4 # outline glow

aurora_layer: behind panel diameter: 720 color: pack.transitions.default_continuity_element.color blur_px: 80

callout_chips: optional count: 0-3 positions: relative-to-panel anchors tier: 2


## Choreography

```yaml
phase_1_aurora_morph_into_scene:
  start_frame: 0
  effect: aurora-blob-continuity
  morph_from_prior: 24                   # carries over from previous scene's aurora

phase_2_panel_enter:
  start_frame: 6                          # aurora is established
  effect: ui-panel-float-z
  scale_start: 0.96
  scale_end: 1.00
  opacity_start: 0
  opacity_end: 1
  duration_frames: 24
  easing: bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)

phase_3_parallax_drift:
  start_frame: 30                        # after panel settles
  effect: ui-panel-float-z (continuous)
  amplitude_px: 12
  period_seconds: 6

phase_4_callouts:                         # optional tier-2
  start_frame: 36
  effect: sticker-chip-pop per chip
  stagger_frames: 6

phase_5_hold:
  start_frame: phase_4_end + 6
  duration_frames: ≥ 60                   # long hold to read the UI

Style pack compatibility

supported: [SP-F]
preferred_in: [SP-F]
incompatible: [SP-A, SP-B, SP-C, SP-D, SP-E, SP-G]

This is THE SP-F archetype. UI panels don't fit any other pack's transition vocabulary.

Pack-specific overrides

SP-F (product-demo)

Aurora always behind.
UI rendered at real product fidelity (small type, real dashboards, real charts).
Callout chips: light bg, ink text, optional small emoji.
NO hard cuts — always aurora-morph between scenes.

Duration

duration_seconds: [3.0, 6.0]
default: 4.0

Long enough for viewer to read the UI mock.

Quality Checks

UI panel has a non-zero Y-axis tilt (3D depth cue).
Shadow + blur halo render — panel feels "above" the bg.
Aurora-blob is BEHIND panel, never in front.
Parallax drift is continuous after settle — never stops moving.
UI type is legible (not microscopic, not over-sized).
No hard cut on scene entry — aurora morphs into the new state.

Failure Modes

Panel looks flat (no depth). Missing tilt or shadow. Add both.
Aurora visible in front of panel. Z-index inverted.
Panel pops in too fast. Use bezier easing, 24+ frame entry.
UI type unreadable (too small or pixelated). Render UI at native resolution and scale-down with image-rendering: auto, not nearest-neighbor.
