Card Row Status Badges
One badge at a time turns a board into a story.
Teaches your AI to animate a row of cards whose status badges flip or pop in sequence, with one card reacting at a time and a summary beat that lands the takeaway.

Card Row Status Badges
When to use
- Summarizing a sprint, project, or pipeline: a row of task cards, each landing on done, in-progress, or blocked
- Walking through a checklist or approval flow where each item's status resolves one by one
- Presenting a sales or hiring pipeline where each deal or candidate moves to its current stage
- Showing order tracking: placed, packed, shipped, delivered — each card's badge updating in sequence
- Reporting team or system health: each service card resolving to operational, degraded, or down
- Turning a static dashboard screenshot into a narrated status story
Workflow
- Define the cards and their final statuses (input: your items → output: card list with title, final status, and reveal order)
List every card: a short title (1–5 words), its final status, and its position in the reveal order. Use a small fixed status set — three to four statuses maximum (e.g. Done, In Progress, Blocked) — each with one color and one icon that never changes meaning mid-video. Reveal order is a storytelling choice: lead with the headline result (the big win or the blocker), then the rest in logical order. Cap the row at 6 cards; beyond that, use two rows or split the video. - Build the card row stage (input: card list → output: card row with neutral placeholder badges)
Lay out the cards in a single row (or a tidy grid for two rows) with identical size, spacing, and typography. Each card shows its title and a neutral placeholder where the badge will land — an outlined pill or a faint dashed badge reading "…" — so the badge slot is visible before anything resolves. Hold this unresolved row for 1 second: the viewer must see the "before" (all unknown) to feel the sequence of reveals. - Pop or flip each badge in sequence (input: staged row → output: per-badge reveal keyframes)
Reveal one badge at a time, in the order from step 1. Two reveal styles, pick one and use it for every card: pop (scale 0.6→1.0 with a fade over 0.35 seconds, ease-out with a slight overshoot) or flip (3D Y-rotation 90°→0° over 0.45 seconds, ease-in-out, badge face changing mid-flip). Never mix pops and flips in one row — one motion language per video. After each badge lands, hold 0.5–0.7 seconds so the viewer reads the card-plus-badge pair before the next one arrives.
