Roadmap Focus Push

When to use

• A launch video walks a roadmap and needs to land on the release date, not drift past it
• A pitch deck animates a timeline and one quarter carries the funding ask
• A changelog video recaps six milestones but only the next one needs the viewer's attention
• A strategy update shows a year of work, then pushes into the single bet for next quarter
• A tutorial timeline has one step where viewers always get lost — the push marks it as the one to remember

Workflow

1. Lay the roadmap (input: milestone list → output: horizontal roadmap frame)
   Lay milestones left to right on one horizontal spine: 4–7 nodes max, evenly spaced, each with a short label (≤3 words) and a date. Past milestones get a filled dot, future ones an outline dot, the target milestone a larger ring (1.5× the others) in the accent colour. Keep the spine at vertical centre and leave 12% headroom top and bottom — the camera will move, and a spine pinned to the edge breaks the illusion. If you have more than 7 milestones, group the rest into "Earlier" and "Later" clusters; a crowded spine kills the push.
2. Set the start frame (input: roadmap frame → output: wide establishing shot)
   Open wide enough to show the full spine with 8–10% margin on both sides. Hold 0.8s so the viewer reads the shape of the journey: where we started, where we are, where we are going. The start frame is a promise — the audience should be able to point at the target node before the camera moves. If they cannot, the labels are too small or the spine is too crowded.
3. Push along the spine (input: wide shot → output: camera move)
   Move the camera in two phases over 1.8–2.4s total. Phase 1 (0–1.2s): a lateral dolly along the spine toward the target node, ease-in-out, covering ~70% of the distance. Phase 2 (0.9–2.2s, overlapping the tail of Phase 1): a push-in (scale/zoom) from 100% to 165–185% centred on the target node, ease-out. The overlap is what sells it as one camera move rather than a pan followed by a zoom. Non-target nodes should drift out of frame or blur slightly (2–4px) as the push lands — depth of field does half the focusing work.
4. Land and hold on the milestone (input: pushed-in frame → output: focus hold)
   On landing, the target node's ring draws or pulses once (single 0.3s scale pulse, 100% → 108% → 100%, ease-out — one pulse, never a loop). The milestone label enlarges to fill its new frame, and a one-line detail (≤10 words: the deliverable, the date, the number) fades in below it over 0.4s. Hold 2–3s. The hold is where the information lands; cutting early wastes the whole move.

Roadmap Focus Push — Template

One roadmap, one push, one milestone that matters.

The roadmap

Spine direction: {horizontal / vertical} Nodes (4–7, labels ≤3 words):

Grouped away: {extra milestones folded into "Earlier" / "Later"}

The target milestone

Node #: {n} — Label: {label} — Date: {date} Detail line (≤10 words): {the deliverable / date / number} Accent colour: {hex} — target ring at 1.5× node size

Camera move (1.8–2.4s)

Landing

Ring pulse: once, 0.3s, 100% → 108% → 100%, ease-out Detail line fade-in: 0.4s Hold: {2–3}s

Exit (pick one, use consistently)

[ ] Pull back to wide over 0.8s, ease-in-out
