Motion stings and still-art cliffhangers

Film equipment suggesting timed motion sequences beside still pages

Still pages can end on a swung fist. The NFT extra can show the landing. If you only index pamphlets, you will swear the next still chapter forgot a punch.

Give the sting its own row: runtime, which still page it continues, and whether the audio recap spoils a later file. Reading groups should agree whether to watch stings inline or as dessert.

Some extras are looping cover animations with no new blocking. Those belong with jacket tags, not with epilogues.

When in doubt, watch once with a notebook, then freeze the frame that matches a still panel. If no panel matches, you have a true extra beat — rare, and worth a labelled gap if someone in the group lacks the file.
