It opens on a black frame as a single line of text rises into view in a quick stagger, each part growing slightly as it lands. Once the line is in place, one band of colored light sweeps across it from left to right, tinting the letters as it passes, shown in blue on the example line Build motion systems fast. The shimmer passes once and the headline settles before the clip ends at four seconds.
