When to use
Use for one brief recorded endorsement. Choose a portrait-side card for a still author image. Variations include a duration label or a source link in the byline.
Hierarchy
Read the video, short quote and author before opening the excerpt. Keep quote below 10 words, author role below 3 and transcript below 10. The video placeholder has a descriptive label.
Responsive
The same vertical structure remains at all widths. Short content keeps both closed and open states within the 384px frame allowance.
Layout
The bordered white root is 288px w-72 wide with an 8px rounded-lg radius. The p-4 figure becomes 320px sm:w-80 at 640px. Its video region is 96px h-24 tall. A 14px quote and 40px-avatar caption follow with 16px margins. A divided transcript summary starts 16px later with 12px top padding.
States
The native transcript details opens in normal flow and rotates its chevron. Its summary has a 2px keyboard outline offset 2px; other regions remain static.
