Full Changelog: v2.1.0...v2.2.0

v2.1.0: 36 styles, 3D titles & kinetic type

36 styles, 13 templates: kinetic typography, 3D titles, lower thirds, chat stories, charts and more, rendered from code to MP4, transparent MOV/WebM, GIF or WebP.

git clone https://github.com/Rudywizz/rudywizz-motion && cd rudywizz-motion
npm install && npx playwright install chromium
node skills/rudywizz-motion/engine/cli.mjs doctor

Needs Node 18+ and ffmpeg. In Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add Rudywizz/rudywizz-motion then /plugin install rudywizz-motion@rudywizz. Any skills-aware agent (Codex, Cursor…): npx skills add Rudywizz/rudywizz-motion.

Added

• 17 new styles
  • Kinetic typography: word-stack, typewriter, scramble, ticker-rows, highlight-quote, glitch-title
  • 3D: extrude-3d, cube-spin, text-tunnel, retro-grid, particle-sphere, card-carousel
  • Social & broadcast: countdown, lower-third, chat-story, bar-chart, cta-follow
• New templates: kinetic-promo, quote-card, stats-recap, chat-reel, youtube-intro, event-countdown, showreel, 3d-title
• rudywizz-motion init writes a starter composition.
• --version, --strict, animated .webp output.
• A JSON Schema for compositions, so your editor autocompletes styles, options, cameras and transitions.
• api.breakLongWords helper: words too long for the frame are hyphenated instead of shrinking to a hairline.
• Smoke tests (npm test) and CI on Linux, Windows and macOS; CodeQL and Dependabot.
• SECURITY.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, issue forms, PR template, THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.

Changed

• Typos now fail with a "did you mean" hint (style, template, camera, transition, look, grade, scene key, style option, CLI flag) instead of rendering a black scene or a plain fade.
• Numeric flags are range-checked.
• doctor checks Node, ffmpeg, Playwright, the browser and WebGL2 separately and prints a fix for each failure.
• The local render server is bound to 127.0.0.1 and every URL carries a random per-run token. The composition is served as a file instead of being put in the URL, so preview never passes your text through a shell.
• Agent skills find the engine through ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} / the plugin cache. They use the OS temp folder, so previews also work on Windows.
• The gallery uses animated WebP (about 6× smaller than the old GIFs).
• LICENSE is now the plain MIT text, so GitHub detects it; third-party notices moved to THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.

Fixed

• inflate, pixel-quest and history-title no longer overflow, or become unreadable, with very long words.
• map-route labels stay inside the frame while their pin is on screen.
• ffmpeg exiting early no longer crashes the CLI with EPIPE.
• --size abc no longer crashes with a stack trace.
