The technique catalog: five velocity-matched SEAMS (zoom-through, INVERSE zoom-through, cut-the-curve, waterfall cut, rack-focus blur-cut) plus the two in-scene techniques — waterfall ENTRY (staggered arrival cascades for title cards / segment openers) and the nudge curve (slow-fast-slow three-phase group slides). Covers partial-travel (~12% of frame) velocity matching via mirrored power4 eases, the Z scale-sign rule, size-scaled blur (10px text / 18-20px full-frame), word-by-word staggered…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Cut the Curve — the technique catalog

Five SEAM techniques, one principle: **cut at peak velocity, match direction and speed
on both sides of the cut** — plus the two in-scene techniques (§6 arrivals, §7 slides).
The seam LAW — vector law, the current, the ledger, the Seam Gate — lives in
`motion-doctrine`; read it first. This skill is the parameters and mechanics.
All GSAP code templates (worker + registry): `examples/gsap-implementation.md`.

## Catalog

| #   | Technique                  | Scope                          | Axis                | Use for                                                |
| --- | -------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| 1   | **Zoom-Through** (forward) | Within-scene text swap         | Z, toward viewer    | progressing deeper into the same thought               |
| 2   | **Inverse Zoom-Through**   | Arrival / payoff beat          | Z, away from viewer | something bigger lands                                 |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add heygen-com/hyperframes/cut-the-curve@sha256:c97df202caea1694

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.8820a01, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
