Insert any cinematic template at frame 0, shifting all existing overlays forward. Same 37 templates as add_cinematic_template but with intro behavior.
How It Works
Use when user wants to add a template AT THE BEGINNING that pushes everything forward. Same 37 template_id options and per-template properties as add_cinematic_template — refer to that tool's ai_prompt_hint for the full list. The only difference: this shifts the timeline. Use add_cinematic_template for normal placement. Media slots are auto-filled from the asset library — you do NOT need to provide media URLs.
