Motion tools tweet — worth adding?
Done
[!note] From the list we took the two tools that fill real gaps. faster-whisper is installed for captions and VO checks. GL Transitions (122 shaders) is built into motion-reel. Everything else on the list is already covered or doesn't fit.
What changed
| Item | Where | Use |
|---|---|---|
| whisper-ctranslate2 (faster-whisper CLI) | ~/.local/bin (uv tool) |
whisper-ctranslate2 vo.wav --model small.en --output_format srt --word_timestamps True |
| gl-transitions.js | motion-reel/engine | REEL.transitions: [[2, 'CrossZoom', 0.8]] |
| engine hook + shader compiler | motion-reel/engine/engine.js | mixes the scenes before and after a cut on WebGL |
| docs | motion-reel, design-playbook, brush-film, film-studio | new captions step; transition catalog entry |
Test render

Not taken
| Tool | Why |
|---|---|
| Chatterbox | voice cloning; Kokoro already covers TTS |
| Remotion, HyperFrames | motion-reel already does this; Remotion needs a paid licence above 3 staff |
| Tone.js | numpy score already |
| PixiJS, Matter.js, tsParticles, Rapier, OGL, glTF Transform | add per project only if a film needs them |
