Citation Tag

Everything below can be changed without touching the animation. Hand the list to an agent, or edit the values at the bottom of the component file.

• Title *

  title · string

  The work being cited — a book, a paper, an article. The largest line, so keep it to a title and leave the subtitle off.

  now: Thinking, Fast and Slow

• Publication *

  publication · string

  Who published it: an imprint, a journal, an outlet, or the author when that is the more useful credit.

  now: Farrar, Straus and Giroux

• Year

  year · string

  Set in parentheses after the publication. A string, not a number, so 'n.d.', '2011' and 'March 2024' all work. Empty drops the parentheses.

  now: 2011

• Marker

  marker · string

  The raised reference numeral hanging in the margin — the one mark in the accent colour. Any short glyph works: a digit, a dagger, an asterisk. Empty removes it.

  now: 4

• Anchor

  anchor · "bottom-right" | "bottom-left" | "top-right" | "top-left"

  Which corner it occupies. Bottom-right by default: it clears the lower third on the left and the watermark above, and sits above the player's scrubber.

  now: bottom-right

• Plate

  plate · number

  Opacity of the paper the type sits on. Below about 0.75 you are trusting whatever is behind it to stay dark and quiet, which over real footage it will not.

  now: 0.94

• Scale

  scale · number

  Overall size multiplier. Push it up for a 9:16 cut, where a tag sized for a 16:9 frame reads as a caption.

  now: 1

• Ground

  ground · boolean

  Paint the frame behind it. Off by default — this is an overlay, so it renders on an alpha channel and drops straight onto your own footage. On, it gets a brand ground to stand up on its own.

  now: true

• Brand

  brand · string

  Brand token id — one of the keys of BRANDS.

  now: press
