What it means
A cursor pointing at words is the standard AI emphasis. A cursor that clicks Create in a real prompt box is a moment of the product itself. Used once, with a reason, it is a tool; used across beats, it is a tic.
In a RasanAI film
A film may carry one travelling cursor, with a declared cursor_reason such as "clicks Create in the real prompt box". It is 3 to 4 percent of the short side, travels on an arc with ease in and out, never linear, and ends in one purposeful action.
