# Focus Rack

Focus shifts once between two cards at different apparent depths through synchronized blur, dimming, scale, and parallax.

**Focus Rack**

```html focus-rack.html theme={null}
<!doctype html>
<!--
  focus-rack: HyperFrames video primitive (camera / holdable / emphasize)

  Concept: two cards sit at different apparent depths. Card A begins sharp
  and near while card B is blurred and dim. Focus moves to card B exactly
  once, with blur, scale, and parallax changing together over 0.7 seconds.

  Variables:
    - label_a (string, default "Draft"): foreground card label.
    - label_b (string, default "Published"): background card label.
    - accent (green | blue | violet, default "blue"): focus highlight.

  Envelope (fixed IN/OUT, elastic HOLD only, never gsap.timeScale()):
    IN_BASE  = 1.32s  stage reveal, initial focus beat, then one 0.7s rack
    HOLD     = elastic card B remains sharp with a restrained depth drift
    OUT_BASE = 0.42s  completed focus state fades from the stage
    If D is shorter than IN_BASE plus OUT_BASE, both fixed phases compress
    proportionally and HOLD becomes zero. The rack still occurs exactly once.

  Mount contract: the runtime clones only this template. #root fills the host
  box, establishes the container query basis, has no data-width or data-height,
  and registers one paused timeline under the hardcoded focus-rack id.

Copy npx hyperframes add focus-rack to the clipboard

That writes one file: `compositions/components/focus-rack.html`.

## Paste it into your composition

Open `compositions/components/focus-rack.html` and copy what is inside into your own composition.

A component has no size or duration of its own. It takes both from the composition
you paste it into.

## Variables

Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you
want to change on the element:

| Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does |
| - | - | - | - |
| `label_a` | `Draft` | string | Label on the card that begins in focus. |
| `label_b` | `Published` | string | Label on the card that receives focus. |
| `accent` | `blue` | `green`, `blue`, `violet` | Highlight color shared by both cards. |

Set them with `data-variable-values` on the element that mounts it. These are the
defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:

```html wrap theme={null}
<div
  data-composition-id="focus-rack"
  data-composition-src="compositions/components/focus-rack.html"
  data-variable-values='{"label_a":"Draft","label_b":"Published","accent":"blue"}'
></div>
```

Tagged `motion-primitive` `camera` `focus` `focus-rack` `depth` `parallax` `emphasize`.
