Light: the clip drops in through the sheet's open top and drives into it; the sheet takes the knock, squashing down from the top as the clip rides it, then springs back and the clip settles seated, where it stays. Strong: the clip lifts first, drives in harder, and the sheet squashes deeper and settles in two beats. The preview reset fades it back to the prepared clip."

# Attach file animated icon

The clip bites onto the sheet. Light: the clip drops in through the sheet's open top and drives into it; the sheet takes the knock, squashing down from the top as the clip rides it, then springs back and the clip settles seated, where it stays. Strong: the clip lifts first, drives in harder, and the sheet squashes deeper and settles in two beats. The preview reset fades it back to the prepared clip.
