Set, reset or quote a capture beat's screen look.

Depth tuning deltas over a preset (M-003): cursor/camera/tilt numbers, each clamped to the preset bounds when read, the stage's look (S3b: a device frame, the background's colours and motion — a project's brand, and how much room is around the app, how round its window's corners are and how deep its shadow falls) and the cursor's look (S3c: arrow, hand or auto, its size, colour, shadow, click bounce and sparks, motion blur) and the tap mark's timing on a phone (BL-1223: how early it appears before a press, how long it holds and fades, and how far its lift's ring grows); stored as deltas only. A preset's look (its device frame, its background and its cursor) stays when a beat plays calmer: a beat moved to a gentler preset so its words stay readable, the still version it is checked against, and the quicker version made when the full one cannot be rendered all keep the look that was asked for and lose only motion (the camera and the tilt). Only reading outranks the look: when the app's words would render smaller than the preset's smallest readable size, the margins shrink first, then the device frame is left off.

Every value a capture beat plays with, each with where it comes from: the preset, the trailer's tuning, the beat's own, or (film) the film's own motion-blur choice.

How comfortable a capture beat's motion is to watch (BL-486, BL-702): the camera's scale and pan peaks, the pointer's glide, and how often the view turns, with where its worst moment is. sentence is already writer-facing.

A capture beat's recording, read for its look (owner 2026-10-18: Slug picks the look and the stretch, writers tune by asking). readable false when the recording or its log could not be read: nothing is suggested then.

What saving the look costs and changes: always free (a capture composite is never billed).
