Recipe notes
Two variants of hard cuts as a rhythmic instrument — an accelerating hard-cut chain (halving intervals closing in on the beat) and a flash-freeze sequence (three white flashes, each cutting to a different crop)
When to use it
Hero/sprint sections where the cut itself is the drumbeat; Variant A for a trailer-style accelerating approach, Variant B for awards-style rapid-fire ceremony
Intent
The library's rhythm vocabulary so far only governs the rate *within* a single motion (speed-ramp is speed variation inside one take) and how long to hold after settling (R-series breathing precedents) — no term governs **how cut points between shots are arranged**. This card fills that gap: hard cuts make no transition at all, the interval between cut points is the score itself — decreasing intervals read as an accelerating approach (A), equally spaced triple flashes read as a shutter burst (B). No conflict with the R series: R governs the hold after settling, this card governs cut-point layout, and a cut chain must end with a generous hold to give the breathing back. Note this is a deliberate exception — the rhythm preference precedent is one-way "slow down", so the harder the hard-cut chain cuts, the longer the hold after it must be than usual.
