It opens on a clean white background with black serif text rising into view through a rippling glass lens. Letters near the lens bend, stretch and pick up thin rainbow edges, while text farther away stays crisp. The second scene turns the lens into a bubbling glass ball over the type. The last scene slides a line of words sideways through the distortion like a conveyor, ending after about 17 seconds.

Set your own line in the text field and it carries through all three scenes. Playback speed changes how quickly the text rises and slides, and freeze on one frame gives a still image of the warped type. The look suits editorial intros, fashion or art projects, book and podcast titles, and any opener that needs a quiet but unusual type treatment.
