> Put titles on GroundSlate clip hero-4f3e2d1c: "ERICEIRA, PORTUGAL" across the top for the first three seconds in arc green, a lower third naming p203 (Mila Reyes) from four to eight seconds, and a callout pointing at the top right of frame when the board hits the water. Montserrat, 1080x1920. Bring each one in on a downbeat, then lay the whole thing over the clip, running exactly as long as it does. Nothing else on screen: no labels, no numbers, nothing I did not name.

- Ask for the font by name and it tells you before rendering whether it has it.
- The overlay must run exactly as long as the clip. Shorter cuts the picture off and longer overshoots, so say so in the ask.
