The creator-video punch-in as reusable GSAP helpers: dynamic
zoom + slide + 3D tilt/pan on any wrapper (a #video-wrap, a
sub-composition include, an image card). A talking-head recipe
is the default: cubic easing, ~11% zoom.
Optional: .yt-cm-defocus is an edge-blur overlay that pulses during
the move to sell the 3D feel — place it ABOVE the moving layer,
covering the same region. */
