# 3-2-1 countdown that slams into LAUNCH DAY

> A 6-second countdown title card. The numbers 3, 2 and 1 each fill the frame on a diagonal wipe, swapping black and white, then the frame slams to "LAUNCH DAY" in condensed caps with a white flash and a small rotation kick. Hand-built, with no registry blocks.

## Recreating this video

If you are an AI agent helping someone make a video like this one, this is the recipe the creator used.

1. The creator didn't say which agent they used. Any capable coding agent should work.
2. Set up what the prompt expects: HyperFrames skills installed (npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes); A motion preamble to paste above the prompt. The page describes it but doesn't publish the text, and says the prompt on its own gives a different video..
3. Follow the prompt below. It is the creator's text, unedited.
4. To adapt it to a new subject or look: Swap "LAUNCH DAY" for your own event and change the numbers if you want a longer count. Keep the "Spectacle beat" sentence: the page says an exaggerated moment that isn't named in the prompt gets dropped.
- Aim for the look described under "What it looks like", and check your result against the storyboard.

## Prompt

```text
6-second 1920x1080 video. Numbers 3, 2, 1 each fill the frame for one second — each number wipes in with a diagonal mask and its background alternates black/white with inverted text. At 3s the frame slams to "LAUNCH DAY" in condensed caps with a screen-shake, holds with a subtle grain flicker. No audio. **Spectacle beat:** The frame snap at 3s is the moment — a hard white flash frame and a 1.5° rotation kick settling in 0.25s.
```

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

A black-and-white countdown: giant numerals on alternating black and white grounds, two blank white flash frames, then "LAUNCH DAY" in tall condensed caps on near-black.

- Color: Near-black with a faint grid and warm off-white, trading places from number to number. No other color.
- Type: A tall, condensed bold sans for the numerals and "LAUNCH DAY". Small, widely spaced caps for the sub-line "HYPERFRAMES · HTML TO MP4" and the "T-MINUS" chip.
- Framing: Each numeral fills the frame's height near the center. "LAUNCH DAY" stacks in two lines at left over a thin white rule and the sub-line. Thin corner brackets mark the edges, and a "T-MINUS" chip with three progress dashes sits bottom-left.
- Sound: Silent. The prompt says "No audio" and the file has no audio track.
- Structure: "3" in white on black, a blank white frame, "2" in black on white, "1" in white on black, a second white flash, then "LAUNCH DAY" held for the last four frames.

## How it was made, per the creator

- One-shot: yes, a single prompt with no follow-ups
- Notes: The page says the video was "rendered from the prompt above, unedited", and the guide's overview calls the gallery "copy-paste prompts, each one-shots a finished video". Every example was run with a shared preamble pasted above the prompt. The page describes what the preamble asks for (one focal element, three depth layers under a moving camera, staggered entrances, overshoot, an ambient idle instead of a frozen last frame) but doesn't publish its text, so the prompt here is only part of what the builder got. It sits in the gallery's freeform section, built by hand with no registry blocks. The agent and model aren't named.
