## Prompt

```text
Create a vertical motion-graphics explainer titled “Budgeting Basics Explained.” Preserve the source video’s subject, scene order, visual treatment, transitions, camera behavior, color palette, caption timing, and audio intent. Keep the narrative aligned with the detailed source brief below.

Minimalist financial-explainer motion graphic, dark editorial style, 9:16 portrait, crisp 1080p rendering. Palette: background solid near-black #0A0A0A (explicit background every beat); a single glowing amber coin #F2A81D used only for the traveling "money" dot and the liquid fill inside each bucket; thin white #FFFFFF line-art icons, ring outlines and large uppercase labels. One warm amber accent, everything else white on black. Every beat carries a real illustrated object (house, coin, campervan skyline, insurance sheet, savings jar), never text alone. Change every 1-1.5s.

(1) 0-3s: on black, a small amber coin drifts in from left; a thin white circular progress ring sweeps 360 degrees around it and locks. Large white caps type on letter by letter: "HOW TO BUDGET", then swaps to "50-30-20 RULE". A flat white line-drawn radar dial expands beneath.

(2) 3-6s: white caps "50% NEEDS". A white outline circle drops in and its lower half floods with amber like liquid. Three line icons tile in one by one: a house, a coin stamped with an X (food), a city skyline with a small campervan. Labels beneath each: "HOUSING", "FOOD", "TRANSPORTATION".

(3) 6-9s: three stacked amber-outlined roundels pop in for "BASIC UTILITIES" (water drop, lightning bolt, wifi), then a document icon in a ring for "INSURANCE". A big amber disc scales up with white caps "NEXT".

(4) 9-12s: white caps "30% WANTS". Line icons swing in: film camera "ENTERTAINMENT", globe "TRAVEL", t-shirt "FASHION", headphones "GEAR". Cut to two upright white cylinders filling one-fifth amber, caps "20% SAVINGS".

(5) 12-15s: four line icons flip in — coins on a plate "DEBT PAYMENTS", plus-mark box "EMERGENCY FUND", open crate "RETIREMENT", rising line-graph "INVESTMENTS". A ring fills with amber coins, then collapses to one bright coin. Closing white caps stack and hold: "SAVE YOUR MONEY / BECAUSE ONE DAY / IT WILL SAVE YOU."

Voiceover (confident low female voice, editorial; unhurried pace with natural breathing pauses; finishes before the 13s mark): "Here's how to budget: split every dollar into three buckets. Fifty percent needs, thirty percent wants, twenty percent savings — because one day, that money will save you." (27 words)

Audio bed: minimal deep sub-pulse with soft ticking accents that land on each icon reveal; a single warm chime on the final coin.

On-screen text whitelist (large bold caps only, spell identically, no small print): "HOW TO BUDGET", "50-30-20 RULE", "50% NEEDS", "HOUSING", "FOOD", "TRANSPORTATION", "BASIC UTILITIES", "INSURANCE", "NEXT", "30% WANTS", "ENTERTAINMENT", "TRAVEL", "FASHION", "GEAR", "20% SAVINGS", "DEBT PAYMENTS", "EMERGENCY FUND", "RETIREMENT", "INVESTMENTS", "SAVE YOUR MONEY", "BECAUSE ONE DAY", "IT WILL SAVE YOU".

Negatives: no barcodes, no QR codes, no small print, no gibberish glyphs, no watermark, no handles, no URLs, no follow/subscribe/DM call-to-action, no camera shake. Background stays solid near-black #0A0A0A throughout.
