What happens in Oriel
Small pale marks on a dark ground, lit by one colour, and a single travelling node that every scene grows out of, so the picture never really cuts: a stem rises, the node bursts into a turning ring, the ring pinches to four corners and collapses to a sign, a bar snaps open into a card, a row of dots lifts into a chart.
The node bursts into a pale ground, where three pills are plugged in one after the other, and a match cut returns it to the dark to draw an outline, close three small rings into one and sign off. Seventeen beats in thirty-four seconds, two longer cuts that add seven more without repeating one, and every word, sign, face and colour is yours to change.
Text animation lets the words do the moving. The library lists 25 under text animation.

Questions about Oriel
How long is Oriel?
34 seconds as designed. The editor has two longer cuts too: Extended (about 43s) and Full length (about 50s). A longer cut adds beats of its own. Nothing is shown twice. The pace can be slowed too: Steady (about 20% longer) or Relaxed (about 45% longer).
Can I make Oriel vertical?
Yes. It comes in 16:9 landscape, 9:16 portrait, 1:1 square and 4:5 social. Switch between them in the editor before you render.
Can I use my own screenshots and video?
Yes. It has 5 places for them under Media. It takes PNG, JPG, WebP, MP4 or WebM files.
Does it have a voice-over and music?

Can I use my own logo and colours?
Yes. Upload a logo, or type your website address and the editor reads the logo and colours from it. Oriel has 6 colours to set: highlight colour (a pale tint of your one colour), dark ground (most of the film), type, nodes and hairlines on the dark ground, the one colour (lit strokes, the card, the blooms), pale ground (the three pills) and ink on the pale ground (pills, connectors, nodes).
